Unpopular opinions.

For the avoidance of doubt and to try and prevent another "hash brown/tattie scone incident", I'm not for one moment saying I don't like or rate Goodfellas, it's a brilliant movie. I just prefer Donnie Brascoe.

There, I said it. Unpopular opinion.

They are both good movies but I think Goodfellas is superior.  I think the pace of the movie really encapsulates that lifestyle, the full throttle headiness of it, it makes you see how Henry and the rest of them end up getting so involved in organised crime.  I don't think I can name a film where the style integrates so well with the story.  It also has spot on performances from all the cast.

Donnie Brasco is a good movie but it's more conventional.  Still an excellent mob movie.

I prefer Donnie Brasco in the original English, not the Gaelic..

Never realised it was a remake before. According to Wiki it's a remake of Hong Kong film Internal Affairs, which also had two sequels. Are any/all of them worth watching? 

Saw the first one when it came out and preferred it to the remake which I found a bit formulaic, haven't seen the sequels.

It's actually Infernal Affairs I think, and it's excellent. The first one is genuinely one of the greatest films ever made and the suspense and tension is unreal. I think in a seen the second one and thought it was pretty good too.

Great film as is the Departed, which is a pretty loose remake. Full attention required and subtitles which puts puts most numpties off. 9/10.
