Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to read GQ's excellent oral history on the making of Goodfellas. There are some amazing anecdotes in there, including some interesting nuggets on who might have been cast in the movie. It's really great.
No, not really. I agree they're totally different, which does make it a difficult question. Good thing is that there is no right answer, but for me, I gotta go with "Godfather". I find the characters much more likable, which is strange because they are all freaking mobsters and murderers and sociopaths. I think I like the story better too, but I will say that "Goodfellas" is more entertaining. Pesci is classic in that role.
Hey, Kev. A friend posted on facebook asking for others' thoughts on the better movie. "Goodfellas" or "The Godfather". Your thoughts?

Oh man, that's a pretty impossible question. They are both pretty different, and yet both amazing. I am sure that doesn't help.
