Simple question - Goodfellas or Scarface?

Ok, so I have Goodfellas on Sky+ from a few days ago, Scarface is on tonight. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I have never seen either of these movies before. I'm watching one tonight and can't decide so...which is the best and why?

 

Cheers all!

Goodfellas all the way, it's a much bigger character story and also 'inspired' by real people and events

 

Scar face is a classic and will be worthy of a watch but Pacino's accent is reminiscent of Christopher Lambert's Scottish brogue in highlander ie I don't think he's ever met anyone from the area he is portraying.

Goodfellas without a doubt. Scarface doesn't even come close. Pacino is good, but he overacts in Scarface in my opinion. The only good thing about the film is a very young Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

Goodfellas is one of the few films where the film is better than the book. One of the best mobster films ever made I reckon; no one does psycho like Joe Pesci. 'How do you mean I'm funny? Funny ha ha? I make you laugh? I'm here to entertain you? What the **** is so funny about me?' Brilliant.
