Goodfellas for our generation.

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2006)

I was too young to see Goodfellas in the theater but now I can imagine what that must have been like. As the movie opens with the Stones "Gimmie Shelter" you know you're in for a treat.
Scorseses last two films have been very good but after seeing The Departed in the theater my generation now knows what made him the directing legend that he is. Dicaprio grew up in this picture and finally delivered the performance that his reputation would you lead you to believe he had given many times before. Damon is in true "Good Will Hunting" form and Jack is well...Jack. It's hard for me to imagine another film due this year delivering better entertainment than this. In my humble opinion this and United 93 stand alone as the top two films of 06 so far.
