No, it is not a competition. No, it is fact. Whether a film is more 'realistic' to the subject is not an opinion because it can be an objective, provable fact. And whether it is considered an opinion or fact, both should have a foundation. I think it fair to ask Tin his foundation as to why the film he named was more 'realistic.' No, Scorcese does not say those films are his favorite gang films. He says those are the films that influenced his filmmaking, which is why he stopped at 1970.
Mine? I dunno'. I liked Donnie Brasco a lot. Casino. Godfathers I and II. If you extend the definition of 'mob' beyond the Italian mob tie, I'd add City of God. I really liked that film. Certainly Pulp Fiction.
