this film made me want to be in the mob......

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2004)

As I sit and watch 'goodfellas' I realize that this film embodies the hopes and aspirations of a generation who had nowhere else to turn. As Henry describes his upbringing, you can't help but feel for the plight of his neighbourhood...(as he says he makes more than most of the adults as a teenager). This film doesn't glorify the mob, but it does identify the characters as human beings, especially Henry Hill. Plus it has the added benefits of many actors that have since made great cast members of sopranos Lorraine Bracco, Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent, but to name a few(another classic mob drama, roll on season 6!!) I'm not going to make a lengthy summary of this particular Scorsese classic,but I will say this, if ever there was a film to be seen based purely on recommendations, Goodfellas would be it. Plain and simple.
