Goodfellas isn't a very good blu-ray. Lossy audio, mediocre video. It's a better film IMO, but if you've seen both, then I'm sure you already know where your preference lies.

Departed is a fantastic movie.

Both are great movies...get both when you can but for now I would go with the Departed.

That should be a crime! Goodfellas without a doubt is one of the best movies ever, but the audio and picture quality of the blu are horrible.

Why do you think it's a spoiler! It's just one of those I never got around to or saw when I was younger and don't remember it.

honestly this is a tuff one mang, two great movies from 1 great director
movie wise i would say goodfellas has the +1
and bd wise, departed is miles ahead
goodfellas is still the old transfer, with a normal dolby track, comee onn

Seriously,go for the one you feel has the better replay value.Departed is abit flashier,and has excellent acting-as does goodfellas,but abit more slowpaced if one can aply that term to Marty's movies

cinema sickness · 09-10-2010, 03:09 AM

Goodfellas 100%!

If it's only which movie is better get Goodfellas. If the quality of the blu ray is a factor get Departed and wait either for an upgrade or a good price on it later down the line.

Goodfellas without a doubt!

JESSEJAMESTRAP · 02-26-2015, 07:10 AM

It's not even close, Goodfellas is way better than The Departed. The Departed is an American Infernal Affairs, which is a great film but it's no Goodfellas.

darkness2918 · 02-26-2015, 07:13 AM

I like Goodfellas but I gotta go with The Departed. Its such a great film & I enjoy it better then Goodfellas. I also loved Infernal Affairs with Andy Lau which The Departed is based on.

Jay Mammoth · 02-26-2015, 07:31 AM

Goodfellas without a doubt, finally getting the Blu it deserves.
