Classic in every sense of the word.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2010)

This is one of the very best movies you will ever see. It is true art. Martin Scorcese did a masterful job with the directing, music, editing. The acting is superb, maybe the best I've seen. The stars, Deniro, Pesci, Liotta, Bracco, and Sorvino were all brilliant. One of the best scripts ever. The dialogue seems more realistic and natural than in any other movie. The story's great. The characters themselves, Jimmy Conway, Tommy DeVito and Henry Hill are absolutely fascinating. The way this films allows us to delve into these mobsters lives is a true experience, and it is all brought to life by Scorcese. Probably the best direction I've seen in a film. Every scene is so perfectly crafted. The pace of the film seems flawless, it completely grasps hold of you from start to finish. Goodfellas is presented on screen in a way that no film rivals. It is so true to call it the most uncompromising movie ever, it's completely original. Goodfellas is the 2nd best movie I've ever seen, better than Godfather and all that. If I had to pick one movie to watch for the rest of my life, it would no doubt be Goodfellas.
