GOODFELLAS (DIDIER BECU)

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2003)

I absolutely can't remember how many times I have seen this movie but every time I discover new things I saw not before and I am sure it's one of those rare movies that are made to watch over and over just because it might perhaps be the best movie ever made, and if not it certainly is in the Top 10 of it somewhere. There are so many stars in here... Martin Scorsese who just is the ideal proof that a director can be a personality himself, someone who you can recognize from style (I am sure that you only will can come up with 20 directors of so whose style can be recognized), Robert De Niro who is just the best actor of all time, full stop, Ray Liotta who perhaps could have join De Niro if only he had some better roles to play as in here he is superb, Joe Pesci who plays the ideal gangster who is nuts, Lorraine Bracco who plays the perfect role of the woman that will always stay loyal to her gangsterhusband, the soundtrack (just remember how Sid Vicious' "My way" or Derek and The Dominos' "Layla" has been used). I am sure I will rewatch this movie soon, for the 20th or 30th time perhaps...and indeed better than all gangstermovies ever made.
