Scorsese's worst film. Some reviewer called it a two and a half hour cell phone commercial.

Sorry Ed, but I'll stick with Raging Bull and Goodfellas.

I love Goodfellas and I've never seen Raging Bull but I still love this flick. This is probably the first serious movie with Leanardo that I didn't want to see him die horribly.

Never seen Raging Bull? Where are you from?

Goodfellas has to one of the most overrated films of all time.

Raging Bull is brilliant. Just rec'd it to a girl I met last night who was going to watch On the Waterfront today.

Infernal Affairs (the Hong Kong film the Departed is based on) is a better movie, imo.

Raging Bull is rather good though. Hey Ray... you never got me down Ray.

I still haven't seen it. It hasn't been in rotation on HBO, unfortunately.
Don’t believe everything you think.

Nafod, you can no longer wait for HBO. Gotta get Netflix.
