My favorite film.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2017)

Goodfellas is my favorite movie. Out of all movies I've ever seen, I've re-watched this one the most. I just love it. The characters, the acting, the scenes, the lines, the music, the food! Every time I watch this movie it makes me wanna make pasta and red sauce - and grill up some peppers and onions! - I saw this movie long before I knew or cared who Scorsese was. I'm not a huge fan of his films - some I like more than others - but this one, this one really sticks. I can re-watch it and never get bored. So many favorite scenes. So watchable. And the music - some of my favorite scenes are done with such attention to incorporating the music and music queues - it's incredible! - I've since read the book(s) - which I highly recommend. - This is more of a gushing diatribe than a movie review; let me break it down. This movie was made before CGI overtook your screen. It's a very real-feeling true story of a boy who grew up and became heavily involved with the mob. It's the story of Henry Hill. It's well made, it's well told, Ray Liotta is utterly amazing here, and if you have not seen it, I urge you to do so. It's amazing!
