A Scorsese face-off. It's not too much of a contest, but Mean Streets does show all the style and spirit of Goodfellas 17 years earlier. It just doesn't have the polish or Pesci.

Never cared for Mean Streets but Goodfellas was great.

I really, really like the both of these. I don't love them the way I do Taxi Driver or Raging Bull, but I really dig 'em. Part of me likes the personal stuff in Mean Streets more, but the other part of me prefers the pacing, the movement, and the Pesci of Goodfellas. I need to re-watch Goodfellas to see if I like it even more than I think I do, but re-watch or no re-watch, I'm going with Goodfellas on this one.

Goodfellas, without a doubt. Mean Streets might be my least favorite Scorsese and Goodfellas might be my favorite.

If there is anything about Mean Streets that is better than GoodFellas, I certainly can't think of it.

Mean Streets can't hang here...

Goodfellas is the complete version of Mean Streets 17 years later. With the addition of Joe Pesci.

Yeah I agree with everyone else Goodfellas is much better.
