Goodfellas is more realistic but I certainly don't think The Godfather is overrated. Goodfellas is a more accurate look at mob life while The Godfather is a romanticized film that's really about "family" set in a mob context.

Anyway, they're both part of the cream of the crop of mob cinema. One could watch The Godfather I and II, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Sopranos and that would be enough.


I hear ya Ivy...dont get me wrong, I loved the Godfather, both 1 and 2, but I mean its considered one of the 5 best movies of all time and that's just crazyness IMO
