GoodFellas
Most films have a weak round. GoodFellas doesn't. 62% across 465 head-to-head matchups, consistent whether it's facing a first-round underdog or a final-round elite. 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.
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.
What you see is what you get: 57%, 62%, 72% across the three rounds. No late surge, no collapse — GoodFellas is the same competitor at every stage, which is rarer than it sounds.
GoodFellas dominates The Departed at 78% — one of the most decisive matchups in its record. Raging Bull at 74% is another comfortable win.
GoodFellas owns Spielberg vs. Scorsese. The Departed is the usual final opponent, and at 78% it's not much of a contest.
#2 of 5 in Martin Scorsese's filmography. Shutter Island sets the pace at 73%, but GoodFellas is competitive with the top of the catalog.
Ranked #1 in Spielberg vs. Scorsese.
