Goodfellas is a great movie. Scarface is boring.

Scarface isnt even on the same level as Goodfellas. Martin Scorsese is ten times better than Brian De Palma

GoodFellas is the far more interesting as well as effective rags to riches story. Scorsese's energetic direction, superb performances and a beautiful soundtrack make GoodFellas the clear winner.

Scarface.

Brian De Palma couldn't direct a turd into a toilet compared to Scorsese.
I like Scarface for different reasons than GoodFellas. They are both movies that I can sit and watch most any time and be entertained. Maybe not as much as they used to, since I've seen them so many times. I do dislike the narration overload in GoodFellas. Scarface is preferable in that regard, and it also has a trashier sense of fun going for it. GoodFellas is superior as a force of cinematic sights and sounds that doesn't let up. Brian De Palma is one of my lesser favorite-ish directors who has never quite blown me away with a film. Scorsese did at one time with GoodFellas.
No question about it...GoodFellas is the better movie. But I can't help it...Scarface simply entertains me more. Both are in my Top 150, but with a gun to my head, I'm taking Scarface.

Scarface isnt even De Palma's best work...Carrie is, GoodFellas wins by a large margin.

I have always prefered Scarface.
Scarface is a great gangster drama, but it doesn't come close to GoodFellas.

while i like Goodfellas, at the moment im gonna have to go with Scarface, i go back and forth on this one, i just loved Al Pacino in Scarface, i love Robert De Niro too, but i felt he was miss used in Goodfellas
I love Scarface but I've loved Goodfellas longer. It's a tossup.

Scorsese's best > De Palma's best
GoodFellas is my pick, but Scarface ain't to bad (obviously meaning that it's awesome).

good fellows win over my little friend
I love Scarface as hell, but GoodFellas takes it.

Sorry Scarface but Goodfellas is better in every way
Scarface is a turd. Goodfellas is ok. Casino is the best mob movie.

Goodfellas is better than Scarface for me.

Scarface is more entertaining and I love Al Pacino in this film but over all Goodfellas is the master work here.

Goodfellas but I enjoyed Scarface a lot

There is something wrong in a world where there are actually people who think Scarface is a better film than Goodfellas.
