The best mob film since Godfather 2

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2000)

I've just re-watched Goodfellas for about the 100th time and it was as fresh as the first time I saw it. The characters are so well drawn and the actors so well suited that it really feels like you know these people. This is helped by the camera work which is exceptional especially the steadicam shot into the club, which I have not seen surpassed since. Coming from rural England, as I do, I don't know whether this film is a true picture of life in the mob but if it isn't, it should be. 10 out of 10
