The case for each
GoodFellas: Scorsese's 1990 mob film from Pileggi's book: Henry Hill's life in a New York crime family, from teenage errand boy to informant. Joe Pesci won the Oscar, and the long Copacabana tracking shot is still studied.
Casino: Scorsese's 1995 return to Nicholas Pileggi, De Niro and Pesci: a Las Vegas casino run for the Chicago mob in the 1970s, told through Ace Rothstein, with Sharon Stone in an Oscar-nominated role. Three hours of money, skimming and collapse.
