Default the departed, casino, or american gangster

I only have $20 dollars to spend. I'm a college student so I don't buy that many blu ray in the first place lol. Out of casino, american gangster, or the departed should I get. I have never seen any of them, so which one do you guys suggest?

Ok looks like you guy narrow it down to the departed. Can I add one more choice? No country for old men is selling for the same price. I search on IDMB because I have never seen it before either. They gave it 8.5 stars, and I think The Departed has the same. So which one do you guys recommend out of them two.

You should consider the Departed. I've watched it about four times (DVD) and enjoy it everytime. I have Casino Royale on both Blu-ray and DVD, and although It's a great film overall and visually, I just don't enjoy it as much as the Departed. As for American Gangster, My friends and I all agree that it is just ok.

Your bet, the Departed. I think you would enjoy it. Sales ads tomorrow, but you shouldn't pay no more than 17.99 for it.

Of the 3 I would go with The Departed, but Casino is an equally good movie.

I haven't seen Casino yet, but you really can't go wrong with either The Departed or American Gangster, however, I do think The Departed has the slight edge.

I actually prefer Casino over The Departed, but they are both very good.

Casino.


The Departed is way overrated. Get Infernal Affairs instead.

I personally would go for American Gangster. Love the movie. But Casino is another great film. Just don't waste your money on The Departed. Such an overrated movie. Didn't deserve Best Picture IMO.

The Departed is a masterpiece in cinema. It has one of the most unexpected ending you will ever see. Your jaw will drop
