... the best film of the 90's.

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2001)

Goodfellas may be one of the best films I've had the pleasure to sit and enjoy in a movie theatre. I've seen a lot of films, whether on home video or in theatre's, but this may be the best. I remember sitting mesmerized for two hours and twenty minutes in a packed movie theatre in Buffalo, NY, not wanting Scorsese's epic to end. I truly believe this is the film his early classic's were leading up to. Goodfellas is a compilation in spirit of Mean Streets, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, combining elements from all and the truly fascinating story of Henry Hill into Scorsese best film. It works on every level. The story, acting, cinematography and editing are equally brilliant. In this busy day and age when its tough to manage the time to watch the newest movie on video or in theatres I can still find time to watch Goodfellas almost anytime.
