Classic.

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2010)

Director Martin Scorsese has a specialty when it comes to doing movies. His true specialty is mob movies. Goodfella, though most people call it his best, isn't my favorite of his. But it is a great film, filled with great performances, and many memorable things about it.
Goodfellas is the true story of Henry Hill(played by Ray Liotta)and how he brings himself up to the higher mob levels. Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro plays some wise guys too. The film also shows his marriage and how it falls down.
Scorsese is a master with mob movies. I mean this is the man who did Casino, The Departed, Gangs of New York, and I think there are others. Maybe i'm wrong. Casino was my favorite of his films. But Goodfellas is a great film too.
Goodfellas was nominated for Best picture. It probably should've won. Though I can't remember what else came out that year. The performance by Joe Pesci and whoever plays Liotta's wife are terrific.
Goodfellas is very interesting, and real. My family is Italian, so I also find this movie to be believable. Trust me, we're not in the mob. Though everyone thinks my dad is. Goodfellas is almost the greatest mob movie ever made. But barely doesn't make it. Still a great film though.
Goodfellas: A+
