Never knew being a gangster was this much fun

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2008)

This is my favorite Scorsese film.Every time I watch it I'm transported away into a world of fun,crime and tragedy.This is due to the excellent direction and the terrific cast.Great acting we have here.Robert De Niro,Rey Liotta and Joe Pesci are simply outstanding in their roles.You have the feeling you're watching real gangsters do what they do best-have fun.Their whole life as Scorsese sees it is non stop fun with the only difference that their concept of fun is a little different than the one of average people.They steal,drink,curse and kill all for the fun of it.It's their way of life.As Henry says they think of ordinary people as a low life scum.It is they who are smart and score the big cash with no difficulty at all.A simply unique portrayal of organized crime which looks absolutely accurate.My favorite character is Tommy De Vito for whom Joe Pesci should have won an Oscar.Simply outstanding work and one of the best movie characters for me ever.Goodfellas is truly a work of art and it is always a pleasure to view this modern masterpiece in which bad people are the law.
