The Best!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 1999)

Forget everybody who say that GoodFellas is the greatest gangster film since the Godfather, GoodFellas is the greatest!
It is Martin Scorsese's finest film to date and how it did not sweep the Oscars the way Godfather did, is beyond me! I guess the Academy was once again intimidated by Scorsese's sheer brilliance and realism!
Robert De Niro is as usual magnificent. Lorraine Bracco gives one of thefinest performances I have seen from a woman for ages. Ray Liotta also gives a super performance and in many respects is the driving force behind the film. But it is Joe Pesci who steals the show! He won an Oscar for his performance and that is the least he deserved..... the greatest performance of his life!!!!!! Even the minor parts are played brilliantly!
The film has it all... thrills, spills, humour, drama and even sadness! You will remember it forever, the quotes will stay in your head for years!
If you see one last film in your lifetime, it HAS to be GoodFellas!!!!
