One Of "THE BEST" For Its Genre!! GOODFELLAS Is A 10!

When Martin Scorsese, one of the world's most skillful and respected directors, reunited with two-time Oscar-winner Robert De Niro in GoodFellas, the result was one of the most powerful films of the year. Based on the true-life best seller Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack, critics and filmgoers alike declared GoodFellas great. It was named 1990's best film by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. And it earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway. And as the volatile Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Academy Award nominee Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. You have to see it to believe it - then watch it again. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie. One of the BEST for it's genre!!!

The Best Mob Movie of The 90's.....Maybe The Best Ever!

One of the most captivating, realistic, and well plotted mob flicks ever-Goodfellas is a glorious, all out, masterpiece complete and blazing with great scenes-thanks largely to it's fantastic cast-Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco and more. Pesci won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, Bracco was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. This mvoie is so good...I can't describe it in words. Based on the real life of Henry Hill. Also stars Paul Sorvino, Frank Sivero, Cuck Low, Frank Vincent, and Frank DiLeo. 10 out of 10...Excellent, superb, and masterful! And remember (you'll get this joke when you see this great film) "Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut"

One of the best movies of our time

From beginning to end, this all-star cast delivers solid performances, which make this superbly written and directed story pack one powerful punch after another. Directed by Martin Scorsese, there is a lot of graphic violence, but even the most violent scenes reflect true-life grit and gore.

Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, and Paul Sorvino play their parts so convincingly that it's hard to imagine them playing any other characters. You won't forget these memorable performances, including one small, but important part played by Samuel L. Jackson. Also look for Martin Scorsese's mother and father in two unforgettable roles.

There is a lot of drama and suspense throughout the whole movie, which among movies of the genre, is excellent through and through. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're a fan of mobster movies, don't pass up the opportunity to add this one to your collection.
