The Best Movie Ever made

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2006)

Goodfellas, well, perhaps one of the best movies ever made. It holds a serene sense of the life of the modern gangster in ways that movies like Godfather - although i enjoy it intensly- are not able to do. Even like henry hill says in the movie, "there were no curses like you see in the movies, your killers came to you with smiles." we are getting a fact based movie which is hard to believe, but is true. The book Wiseguy, which GoodFellas comes from, is nearly identical to the movie. We aren't getting a novel like in Puzzos godfather but an actual account of the mafia in America and its done masterfully. Who can deny the Copacabana shots....its just great....to go for several minutes with such intricate cinematics is wonderful and unlike other movies which do this with special effects shots, we get an intense and moving moment with only the characters. It is just wonderful. The movie is Gatsby gone arwy and if nothing else, a masterpiece of American cinema
