Another Scorsese Masterpiece!

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2002)

The first time I ever watched Goodfellas, I could actually relate to the young Henry Hill when he quotes that unforgetable line "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster", after watching this movie I really did wanna be a gangster.
Everything about this film is top drew stuff, The actors are all perfectly cast, Robert De Niro is good as the calm but cunning hoodlum legend Jimmy'the gent'Conway, Joe Pesci is funny and dangerous as
hot-head Tommy DeVito and deserved the best supporting actor that year, Ray Liotta who has not produced a performance equal to this since is impressive as wiseguy turned rat Henry Hill. Paul Sorvino and Lorraine Bracco also add good support.
The movie tells the story of three decades of todays modern gangstas and what they get up to. My favorite seens are the "what do u mean I'm funny" and the "Go getcha f**kin shine box" both of which have become legendary.
I would also like to praise the great dialogue, script and soundtrack. This movie is just so good I can't even think of anything else good enough to say about it that has not been said in other reviews, so if you have not seen this classic get of your fat arsess and go out n buy it.
