One of the best and well made movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2019)

It's actually pretty amazing that this is based on a true story, it's magnificent. The narrative is told in a coming of age fashion, letting us see Henry Hill at an early age to present day and it makes for some great story telling as we how his life was shaped in how he hung out with gangsters. This is my third time watching this piece of art, Martin Scorsese Co-wrote and directed this masterpiece and I'm still amazed how good it is. He knows the Gangster genre inside and out and with his knowledge he could succeed in making one of the best movies in the world, something that will take many decades to recreate as this is perfection, art in media form.
Joe Pesci truly deserved his Oscar for Supporting Actor as his performance is memorable and superb, truly becoming the character he's playing. The rest of the cast is also spectacular. Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Lorraine Blacco is the other three that did superb work on bringing their talent to the role. I have to say though, this isn't Robert's best performance but it's certainly one of his most iconic and memorable as it shows he have mastered the way of playing a Wise Guy and his skill of acting without speaking, in the eyes and different kind of expressions. For the Sopranos fans out there, this movie has a lot of actors that would later play characters on that magnificent TV Show.
This is really one of those definite gangster and crime movies, I believe Martin Scorsese new movie The Irishman will also be one of those memorable and definitive gangster movies. GoodFellas is truly a masterpiece, giving us a really special narrative that will make you re-watch the movie many times for the great crime story and the well written dialogue. It deserved to win more Oscar's but it's on many lists of best movies. Recommend to gangster and crime movie fans!
