GoodFellas
A strong film that's strongest when the bracket is deepest. GoodFellas at 59% across 224 matchups is already above average — and the late-round numbers push it higher. A masterpiece by nearly any measure, operating at a level of craft and energy that most films never approach. Its only vulnerability in competition is a recognition gap against more mainstream opponents. Among Martin Scorsese's films on BingeBracket, nothing beats it.
Synopsis
The true story of Henry Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian Brooklyn kid who is adopted by neighbourhood gangsters at an early age and climbs the ranks of a Mafia family under the guidance of Jimmy Conway.
Each round is better than the last: 54% opening, 55% semi, 81% final. The competition gets tougher and GoodFellas gets better — a pattern that doesn't show up often.
Against E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the margin is razor-thin: 50%. The most contested matchup in GoodFellas's record. GoodFellas dominates Saving Private Ryan at 89% — one of the most decisive matchups in its record. The Departed at 85% is another comfortable win.
GoodFellas owns Spielberg vs. Scorsese. The Departed is the usual final opponent, and at 85% it's not much of a contest.
Of Martin Scorsese's 4 films tracked here, GoodFellas sits on top. The Departed follows at 56%.
Ranked #1 in Spielberg vs. Scorsese.
