Casino/ Suspects/ Heat
It’s hard for me to vote against Scorcese mob flicks.
There’s gonna be some tuff years in this bitch. Hell, I’ve spoken on the phone with Billy Baldwin a couple of Tims and still voted Casino.
Pesci's role in Casino is a masterpiece. I think about stabbing people in the throat with a pen and then stomping on their crying face about 3 times a week.
I still liked TUS better because of the last couple minutes of it. Watching the gimp Verbal Kint stop limping and slip away as you realize he's actually Keyser Soze while Kujan realizes he's been had at the same time is just incredible film making. The first time I watched it, I had to start it over and watch it again because there's so much going on.
Like I said - hard choices here.

Braveheart was my favorite movie for at least a decade. I can't vote against it. Yet... looking at Heat in particular and to a barely lesser extent Usual Suspects... Fuck, definitely a step below '94, but not a huge one. Se7en, too.
Braveheart has some of the Mel Gibson schlock, but still holds up pretty well I think. And it's battle scenes are as good as it gets.

The way Usual Suspects tied everything together in the end was fantastic. However, the story telling and overall progression of the multiple characters in Casino was outstanding. Casino is the one movie where, if I'm going through the channel guide and see it's on, I'm very tempted to click on it, even though I've seen it more than 10 times.
Casino had a lot of historical accuracy disguised as fictional drama like all good mob movies
Kids today may not realize that Vegas was a mob town as shown in the movie and the events made Vegas a corporate America town as the mob was moved out and prosecuted nationwide
Allegedly
Dude really did survive a car bomb too
The only thing I don't like and really hate is Sharon Stone and how fucking stupid DeNiro was over her pussy
Hits too close to home I guess. Men are idiots
