The Best Mob Film and the Best Scorsese Film

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2015)

Wow. Has there ever been a better use of two and a half hours on any role of film? Some may argue for Pulp Fiction, but in my opinion, this is better. You've got two Scorsese regulars (De Niro and Pesci) and Ray Liotta. This is quite possibly the greatest movie trio EVER. Not only did this film host superb cinematography, acting, directing, writing, improv and casting, but it made these three actors quintessential mobsters. Scorsese is one of the greatest directors of all time. I'd be willing to argue that it is his greatest achievement. The signature Scorsese violence and drugs with his classic mobster themes and you've got yourself a two and a half hour tour de force that deserves multiple viewings and the highest order of critical acclaim that can be awarded. Goodfellas is the greatest mob movie of all time.
