This is THE Movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2008)

No doubt that this is one of the best movies ever. It comes down to everything, and yes, it had downs, but very few downs.
The music in the movie was very well chosen, and also well chosen is ALL of the actors. Joe Pesci delivered the greatest performance in the movie as Tommy, the guy who took crap from nobody and refused to look like a moron. Robert De Niro was more than a perfect fit for Jimmy. The one up this movie has on a lot of other movies is that the actors WERE their characters(basically they were doing their jobs.) Goodfellas also delivered one of the most upsetting deaths to me. The death of Tommy. The most upsetting part about it was you didn't really see it coming. Thanks to this movie, every time I hear Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones I have a sudden urge to watch it(even though the song has appeared in two other Scorsese films.)
This is one of the films where you think "who ever did this is a genius." And that goes out for almost every Scorsese film I've ever seen.
I highly recommend you watch Goodfellas if you already haven't. Definitely a must see.+
