Joe Pesci's Best Performance

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2011)

When I was little I watched Goodfeathers. Little did I realize that it was based on Goodfellas.Bobby was Robert Di Niro. Squit was Ray Liotta, the narrator. Pesto was Joe Pesci.
My favorite scene in the movie was when Ray Liotta told Joe Pesci he was funny. I love when Pesci asks, "You think I'm funny like a clown? Do I amuse you?", pretending to confront him and laughing when he becomes increasingly nervous.
I really enjoyed Robert Di Niro's performances as Liotta's mob boss. There are a lot of violent scenes, and always the threat of violence in everyone's words, but it isn't gratuitous. I love when they cook food in prison, having even their incarceration found ways to maintain their brotherhood and lifestyle. I don't like the scene when Liotta and his wife were followed by a an FBI helicopter, indicating the end of their freedom. As criminal and self destructive as their lifestyle was, it was difficult not to feel for them. 'Guess we always love the bad guys.
