One of the top 5 movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 1999)

Martin Scorcese said that he did this movie in black and white because he was afraid of color fading. It turned out to be a great decision. The black and white just intensifies this movie. The performances from De Niro and Pesci are unbelievable. This movie certified Scorcese to be one of the best directors of all time. Later Goodfellas, Cape Fear, and The Age of Innocence would do more than prove it.
