No, I know. I was just stating my opinion. The fight me part is only used jovially as DeNiro is often held in really high regard... and rightfully so. DeNiro is fantastic in many movies, I just think Pesci is better overall. But again, I have not see the Godfather movies so who knows, I am sure DeNiro is great in part 2 as well.

irishman?
That shitty movie with a 100 year old deniro that I'm supposed to believe beat someone up?

Eh, I didn't think that was too bad. Its not anywhere near as tough as getting through Cloud Atlas and it has similar logistical issues with actors being out of their element.

I'll admit Irishman and Casino aren't the most popular Scorsese flicks but they're my favorites. Probably Pesci's best performance. It feels more complete than something like Goodfellas.

Working on a courtroom list now. Having a little trouble as I want to focus on movies where the courtroom setting is important. I want to have Fracture or The Firm, but can't really justify it as there isn't too much courtroom scenes.

I almost feel like Chinatown leans a bit too far into noir for this type of list. Its arguably one of the most important movies for this type of genre, though.

Lots of overlap with crime, noir, courtroom, action, western imo. I'm not fully sure where to draw the line.

To each their own.

Seven is a noir film as well, but its on my list.

Absolutely but always an entertaining sub-category of crime movies
Oh sure, heist movies could be a category all its own.

I just posted Martial Arts and Courtroom... I will wait on Heist lol.

Agreed. Truthfully Chinatown is probably only a couple of spots off my list. Great movie with Jack in his prime. I just think some of the other movies have a hair more depth to them.

For sure. I should have put it in my honorable mentions, but spaced.
