I could once and for all determine which pasta sauce was better and, by extension, which was the superior film.

To even suggest that "Goodfellas" might be as good a movie as "The Godfather" is insulting.

I'm old school. Godfather, though Goodfella's was a top notch flick too.

My Nonna's pasta sauce recipe would kick butt on both of those sauces though.

Goodfellas is every bit as good as the Godfather. Both are great flicks and impossible for me not to watch.

You gotta problem with that?

They are two completely different movies, yes both were about the Mob, but that’s where the similarities end.

Evidently there’s another similarity: they both include a scene in which mobsters make pasta sauce.

For the record, I think Godfather II is far superior to The Godfather or Goodfellas and Goodfellas is better than Godfather III. However, I just don’t think Goodfellas is on the level of either of the first two Godfathers. Goodfellas has plenty of action, but it lacks the drama of The Godfather.

Clemenza put a lot of wine into the sauce.

"far superior"?

Both are excellent and I also prefer part II, mostly because of the Deniro scenes of the early days. But it seems like a close call to me.

I like simple and easy:

6 cans of tomato paste
1 whole white onion
3 pounds ground beef
3 pounds ground Italian sausage
2 heaping tbls diced garlic
1 large crockpot
15 hours
Add water to keep it 1/4 inch below the lid
