Terrific

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2020)

"Goodfellas" is one of those movies that if I catch it on tv, I stop clicking around. Even though I've seen it a bunch of times, I stop searching the channels and I watch it again. I remember seeing this movie in the theater (Bayside, NY). The theater was filled with a few loud-mouths and they took some of the thrill away from the movie. I've seen "Goodfellas" a bunch of times since and it's one of the greats. It's not a perfect movie but it comes close. By the way, this movie is special to me because the scenes at Joe Pesci's mother's house were filmed on the block where I grew up (241 Street, Bellerose, Queens, NY).
