#17: Casino (1995)
If Goodfellas was speed, Casino is the hangover. Scorsese paints Las Vegas as both paradise and prison, its lights masking greed. De Niro’s meticulous manager, Sharon Stone’s tragic showgirl, and Joe Pesci’s live-wire enforcer spiral through excess that feels operatic. The narration never stops; neither does the film’s pulse. Three hours later, the slot machines keep ringing in your head.

It’s a film with the classic length of Martie’s films, but with constant action like we rarely see.
