Chaos Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We discussed this when I picked it for DVDVRMC, but I still don't get the affection for Goodfellas. That third act just kills that film for me. I somehow doubt a third viewing is going to solve that problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hate the third act, but I realized at some point it's because there's a conscious decision to make the movie less fun and more uncomfortable and unpleasant as Henry's life spirals out of control. Scorsese essentially stole his own blueprint for Wolf of Wallstreet and didn't stick the landing in the third act nearly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember the final act of Wall Street outside of Leo's great physical comedy, but I don't remember it being egregiously flawed; however, Wolf of Wall Street is a movie that lives and dies by Leo's performance, which I've found intoxicating both times I've seen it.

Chaos Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah, I'm blanking on what the other one is. One of them is my #1, which this was the first time I've questioned it being my #1 through doing this ballot, but I didn't feel super strongly about anything to unseat it. I kind of see that changing over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
