But it's a testament to how good a job she did that we hate her so much. Casino, in my opinion is a prime example of a lethal third act in an otherwise (nearly) perfect movie.
Of course we hate her, that's her character. Weve even included the two non-Eon produced films in this list, which is sorted by theatrical release date and lead actor. Stone won a Golden Globe, and an Oscar nomination for her role. Watching the James Bond movies in release order is easy.
How that little scallywag of a robber in Home Alone came from as hard a bastard as that in Casino and Goodfellas, I do not know! He pulls it off like no one else! The De Niro / Pesci pairing is just perfect. Of course it has such an evil side, but gets me every time. These movies in a very strange way always make me wish I'd been part of that life. I just love that this (along with Goodfellas) is so closely tied to real life events. The music, the actors, the scenes, everything he does is just perfect. Scorsese just has a way of making a movie. Can't count the number of times I've watched them. Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled a Las Vegas casino empire. I put them very close together (Goodfellas a little higher).
