Scorsese's best

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 1999)

I remember being fourteen when I first saw this movie and at seventeen, it still remains to be my best movie to date.
Brilliantly directed by Scorsese we are taken through three decades of life in the Mafia through the eyes of young Henry Hill. Unlike most movies which gloss over the harshness of reality, this movie shows us the truth with no shame. Scorsese presents us with a powerful story of violence, crime, romance, revenge and betrayal.
We are presented with characters so incredibly bad that we fall in love with them straight away. The most memorable being the four leads played by Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Lorraine Bracco.
There are amazing cameos and an incredible fifties, sixties and seventies sound track which carries the mood of the movie throughout.
This is what a gangster movie should be, entertaining, visually a masterpiece and have top notch acting.
GoodFellas has it all and I give it 10/10 without any hesitation whatsoever.
How can you not appreciate a movie which has such classic scenes such as where Pesci and Liotta are sitting around a table in a restaurant arguing over what makes Pesci so funny?!?
