You guys obviously haven't taken the time to appreciate his work in Home Alone.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Raging Bull is one of the most disturbing films ever…

Did you fuck my wife?

[SAtown]

Home Alone 2 for sure

"Why the hell you dressed like a chicken?!!!!" :lmao

I'll stick with Goodfellas, but Casino should definitely be part of this poll.

So which of these five do you remove to make room for overrated ass Casino? Home Alone 1 and 2 are locks, so choose from the other 3.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I went with Goodfellas, but only because I didn't see Gone Fishin' on the list.

[The Gemini Method]

It's not even a contest with the options presented to us as voters. Pesci was money in Goodfellas and had some of cinema's greatest quipps in the movie. So much, that they're often quoted or rephrased in some manner since the release of Goodfells in 1990. Holy shit...its been 20 years since that movie dropped? Wow...

Casino should definitely be an option but you're an idiot if you pick it over Goodfellas

[bus driver]

What faggoty shit is this? No Casino but you have that Home Alone garbage on here? Goodfellas. Hands down. By default.

[JamStone]

Goodfellas is one of the classic gangster movies and it was a better movie, but if we're talking about Pesci's performance, I think his performance was better in My Cousin Vinny.

[vy65]

clearly my cousin vinny

Vinny is too campy for Pesci. Plus he doesn't masterfully utilize "fuck" in it. Strike 1-2-and-3.

[boutons_deux]

The casting, the script in Vinny were spot on, even if Joe P was playing against his careert roles.

Fred Gwynne's last movie.

Tbh one note about Casino bashing--that movie is based on a true story and is unbelievable close to real life. I saw a thing on it on A&E and was amazed at how close to real life it was.

===Spoilers===

The Guy (Nick Santoro iirc) even looked like Pesci (short, stocky, hari slicked back), broke down walls to steal from places, fucked Ace (Lefty Rosenthal)'s wife, and was beaten to death with bats in a corn field. Ace had that TV show, was saved from a car bomb death because of the metal plate in that model of car, was denied a license in the same exact. Sharon Stone's character was exactly the same, OD'd etc.

My Cousin Vinny is so underrated. I'd probably go for My Cousin Vinny just because he had to play a character a bit more out of his element than previous roles.

I think that people don't realize that Home Alone was probably a challenge for Pesci though. I remember reading that Pesci had a tough time with that role because he kept randomly cursing because he forgot that he was in a family movie. The director had to keep reminding him.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol quality thread..

My Cousin Vinny is underrated as fuck IMO..one of the first movies I ever owned..

You can't go wrong with any of the picks here..Home Alone 2 >> Home Alone..

[AnthonyM]

Pesci does good in Raging Bull too, but his performance is overshadowed by De Niro's.

I don't know what it is, but Raging Bull is probably one of the most uncomfortable movies I've ever seen. The scene where he accuses Pesci of sleeping with his wife is great for so many reasons.

goodfellas is one of the classic gangster movies and it was a better movie, but if we're talking about pesci's performance, i think his performance was better in my cousin vinny.

+1

Haha... supposedly the Batts character was in the Gambino family and a close friend to John Gotti in real life, while Tommy was a scrub not in but working for the Lucchese family. Supposedly Gotti was there for Tommy's execution.

[Johnny RIngo]

Home Alone 2 if I'm going for nostalgia. But my favorite performance of his is still My Cousin Vinny.

[ObiwanGinobili]

My Cousin Vinny FTW!

Home alone 2 comes in 2nd in my book.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn this is actually tough as shit. All those movies are legit.
