" That's why I liked Casino more, he was a flawed human being but seemed more down to earth and less of a terrible husband and a caring father, whereas Henry was just a wannabe tough guy who manipulated his wife. I think the use of a non Sinatra version of "My Way" made sense (even if it wasn't originally desired) because it indicated the screwed up aspirations of Henry. He was no longer in the mob lifestyle so why would it end with his preferred version of the song? The times had changed. The Sid Vicious version was so awry as to fit IMO.
The music in Casino was more epic and involving though.

I suspect it's just as boring and stupid now as it was then. I can't imagine anyone watching it twice. It really was that stupid. But as another poster pointed out, most modern day gangster movies are stupid "demigod" movies, made to keep the mob in power, and make non mob members think that mobsters are demigods who can't be beaten by mortals. That's why so many of the ignorant masses are sheepish enough to watch these movies.

It'd a great gangster flick that I badly need to re-watch. Casino is its equal though.

I rewatched both Goodfellas and Casino a few months ago for the first time in years. While Casino is great, it still isn't good enough to shine Goodfellas' shoes.
