In a world that's powered by violence, on the streets where the violent have power, a new generation carries on an old tradition. Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas is without question one of the finest gangster movies ever made, a benchmark even. It’s that rare occasion for a genre film of this type where everything artistically comes together as one. Direction, script, editing, photography, driving soundtrack and …

"Goodfellas" really only takes a small ration of incidents from Henry Hill's life of crime and proceeds to weave the story from this. What unfolds is an absolutely compelling film which is a superior motion picture on every level that paints a quite frankly deeply unappetising portrait of three decades of life in the mafia which initially appears to be glamorous and it undoubtedly provides unlimited and substantial …

Ray Liotta is superb here as "Henry Hill", a man whom ever since he was young has been captivated by the mob. He starts off as a runner and before too long has ingratiated himself with the local fraternity lead by "Paulie" (Paul Sorvino) and is best mates with fellow hoods, the enigmatic and devious "Jimmy" (Robert De Niro) and the excellently vile "Tommy" (Joe Pesci). They put together an audacious robbery at JFK …

Martin Scorsese was at his best when he made GoodFellas. It received five Oscar nominations and a winner for Best Supporting Actor for Joe Pesci. It's speechless for how great this movie was and it still is. GoodFellas is a fantastic crime drama and it's impeccably done throughout. The story is based on a true story ad it's taken place from 1955 to 1980. It tells a story about Henry Hill played by Ray Liotta …

Martin Scorsese (director) always loves details in crime films, but he is not primarily interested in the crime itself. That is why his films are always produced with details that you may see as unimportant to you, especially if you want to see the movie for the purpose of seeing scenes of theft, murder, and so on, but you see the opposite. Somewhat other details are visible on the scene mostly The film talks about …

neutral · AI labelView post →Six film titles that are misleading… 6. Mission Impossible (it was possible) 5. Goodfellas (they were pretty bad actually) 4. Jurassic Park (Cretaceous Park more like) 3. The Constant Gardener (never even starts gardening) 2. The Man Who Wasn’t There (yes he was) 1. The NeverEnding Story (ends)
neutral · AI labelView post →A sort of horseshoeing happens with Scorsese films. You start watching films and you're certain Goodfellas is his best. Then, you learn more and think actually he's made even better. Then, you figure out that ranking them is silly but in any event this is a shockingly perfect movie. #FilmSky📽️

positive · AI labelView post →Martin Scorsese’s film, GoodFellas (1990) is America’s finest filmmaker at the peak of his form. GoodFellas is a memoir of life in the Mafia, narrated in the first person by Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), an Irish-Italian kid whose only ambition, from his earliest teens, was to be a wise guy, a Mafioso.
neutral · AI labelView post →ON THIS DAY: August 23, 1990 saw the release of Goodfellas for the Sega Genesis. It was a metroidvania released a few weeks before the movie, it was panned by critics who complained about the excessive family dinner sequences and cocaine mini-games. It only sold 15 copies. Its devs were whacked

neutral · AI labelView post →I was 11 when I first watched this and it is my all-time favorite film. I was immediately drawn into the world of the wise guys and never looked back. I consumed everything I could about the mafia after that. To me, this is a perfect film. #NW Goodfellas (1990) 🎬
positive · AI labelView post →Quick question- what is your comfort film? The one you can always turn on when you just want to sit on the couch and relax? For me, it's probably Goodfellas, but would love your thoughts.
positive · AI labelView post →co-sign - it is wild how Goodfellas is perfect, a legit masterpiece, yet somehow probably not even Scorsese's best movie. like Kundun is basically a religious experience.

neutral · AI labelView post →I used to prefer Casino to GoodFellas — I still do, but I used to too — but GoodFellas is to me THE movie, the one more than any other movie I've ever seen that makes you go "You know what, I want to watch a lot of fucking movies." 'Mr. Scorsese credits it with inventing a new film grammar: Correct!
positive · AI labelView post →Anyways one of my worst movie opinions is that The Departed is better than Goodfellas so this is an important development to me

positive · AI labelView post →Such a sudden and traumatic act reminds me of a scene from a little movie called Goodfellas…
neutral · AI labelView post →Sadly, the same people who think Wolf made financial fraud look awesome also believe Tony was a model of manhood and Goodfellas was a movie about how organized crime was cool. You cannot teach these people anything.
negative · AI labelView post →Students used to ask why I showed them silent movies from 1896 onwards. I explained that they were still a part of modern cinema with Scorsese homaging Edwin S. Porter's The Great Train Robbery (1903) in Goodfellas, a film which had many references to the western genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →Saturday night at the movies 🎬 with Tim and Moo Moo. We found this on YouTube. It's about an aging mob boss released from prison after 20 years. It has some really bad reviews, and I'll admit it's not your Goodfellas type of film, but we liked it! 😃 #TimAndMooMoosMovieReview
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't remember if I shared this already, but I don't care. Here's an impulse ebay purchase that I'm still tickled with: the issue of National Geographic that inspired the "whaddya want from me" line from Goodfellas, which is probably a top-10 movie line for me.
positive · AI labelView post →For context: there’s no bars, restaurants and barely any buses here. There was exactly one diner, the one from Goodfellas, and it went out of business despite being in the movie Goodfellas.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Goodfellas for the first time. 30 min in and being a gangster seems great! All upsides, no downsides. I'm assuming it'll stay this way for the rest of the film.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not saying, "the Burning Bed is better than Goodfellas." I'm saying that our ideas about what counts as quality in film are linked to assumptions about gender in ways it might be worth interrogating.

positive · AI labelView post →You found a real homie when he won't let you die of shame after your rag went flying. Goodfellas is a perfect movie to have in the background at your inlaws. Bogart's was masterful in Maltese Falcon. Better than WTC, United 93 is a tense retelling of that day. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
positive · AI labelView post →What's a film moment that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot but still never leaves your mind? For me it's the scene in Goodfellas where all the incarcerated bosses are making spaghetti Paulie is slicing garlic with a razor blade as Ray Liotta narrates "it was a very good system."
neutral · AI labelView post →Guys Goodfellas is a real good movie
positive · AI labelView post →Goodfellas is a Thanksgiving movie. I will not be elaborating further.
