The best film ever, YES it's that good!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2006)

I will try to keep this short & sweet, cos so much praise has been put on this film & rightfully so, it's not just the best gangster film ever made its probably the best film ever made period. Scorsese has created a ground breaking visceral experience, everything is flawless the pace,the use of music, the performances (Joe Pesci is the standout),editing, the film looks & feels great, the dialogue is colourful, the violence is brutal & you laugh when your supposed to. The film opens with the song Rags to Riches by Tony Bennett & closes with Sid Vicious version of My Way, you realise that's what Scorsese has done, made it his way. Even on a bad day he has few peers, & when so many crime films come & go, Goodfellas will still be talked about many years from now. Thanx Marty!
