"What, am I here to F***ing amuse you?"-Pesci

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 1999)

Every line is memorable as the next, as snappy as the last, Goodfellas brings a treat to fans of almost every genre. Joe Pesci(Home Alone) is the real star alongside Robert De Niro(Ronin) and Ray Liotta(who frankly lets the movie down). Martin Scorcesse directs an almost perfect movie and a landmark in filming history. The story centers around Ray Liotta and his entrance into the life of a wise guy. From a young man picking up employer's cars to a fully blown gangster. Him and his wife, Karen(Lorraine Bracco) start the marriage well;life couldn't be better, but before long they're addicted to drugs and on the run from cops. Some up and coming actors used the movie as a stepping stone into a successful star. You might remember a younger Samuel L Jackson in a very short-but welcome-part. In summary, the film is well cast, scripted successfully, and brilliantly acted out. Rating=5/5
