I'm surprised there have not been any comments on this one yet. While I love just about everything about Goodfellas, I love absolutely everything about Shawshank.

Goodfellas for sure!!

This is too hard. I think I'll take Goodfellas for its rise-n-fall feel to it.

Shawshank by a f***ing longshot!

I really love both of them but Shawshank wins.

My 10,000th ranking!!!! The Shawshank Redemption but close, its currently on a top 20 filter so there ya go :)
on 6/12/2013
2 of the greatest films ever made. I'm choosing my number 1, Shawshank.

Going with the prison drama.
I'm switching to Shawshank. Both are fantastic films.

Shawshank... although this is fairly close.
Goodfellas whoops THAT ASS. God knows I'm a sap. I can be a real lovey guy. But I think I'm juuust too cynical to really get into Shawshank. Goodfellas wins because of what Marty brings to the table - style, cool tunes, and grace. Oh, and psychopaths (that cast, nigga, that cast!). Ol' Marty's "got that rock and that roll". Can't believe the slaying he's taking here.

The Shawshank Redemption. Both are in my Top 20, but Shawshank had a bigger impact, I was a bit more involved with the characters and it took you on a journey no other film can.

Don't love either.
The Shawshank Redemption wins GoodFellas is a great mob film but it was never my favorite Scorsese film Shawshank wins this match up of the day ;)

Goodfellas is very good but it doesn't compare to the greatness of Shawshank.

Shawshank is fucking overrated garbage. Goodfellas truly was a game changer. I'll take goodfellas anyday.
Goodfellas is great, but it still ain't Shawshank...
Goodfellas is filmmaking so far beyond the maudlin Shawshank that I can't even believe they belong to the same art form. Goodfellas is an invigorating, balls out celebration of what cinema has to offer. Shawshank is repetitive and obvious, with none of the élan Goodfellas brings to the table.
Shawshank.

Goodfellas and Shawshank are really entertaining and great. Goodfellas beats Shawshank.
on 11/22/2014
GoodFellas. Nothing beats GoodFellas, not even Shawshank.
Two of my absolute favorites. I love me some GoodFellas but I love me some Shawshank even more.
on 11/23/2014
Both amazing but I'm saying Shawshank
on 7/29/2015
GoodFellas is a pile of steaming hot dogshit compared to Shawshank.
on 12/15/2015
Goodfellas gets the win here.I love Redemption but It can't match Goodfellas.
on 10/17/2019
Goodfellas in a stomp. Redemption was boring.
on 9/3/2020
The Shawshank Redemption by far.
on 9/7/2022
Shawshank was way better
on 9/19/2022
Goodfellas wins here for me, but that could change after a rewatch
on 9/21/2022
Both classics for good reasons but GoodFellas wins for wit and charm.
on 11/25/2022
I saw Goodfellas first but Shawshank wins
on 2/18/2023
Probably my 2 favorite films of the 90s. As much as I love Shawshank, Goodfellas is hands down the best movie of the 90s
on 4/30/2023
GoodFellas Is good, But Shawshank Is a master
on 10/24/2023
Goodfellas wins by a huge margin. You are talking the best film of MS, De Niro, Joe P etc. Goodfellas is a real and TRUE story and is a masterpiece in everything
