	Goodfellas (1990)
		"Goodfellas" is one of the best films I have ever seen.
		I am a huge fan of Pesci, and I tend to love his characters, but he really makes you feel sick towards his character in "Goodfellas," while at the same time taking a strange liking to him.
		Anyway, "Goodfellas" has to be one of the best films I've ever seen--a true modern classic that will be remembered for what it is: One of the greatest tales told on screen.

	Goodfellas: Special Edition (1990)
		GoodFellas makes it obvious that loyalty only goes so far; throughout the movie, virtually every character does whatever he needs to do to get by - screw the other person, no matter who they are.
		GoodFellas doesn't exactly shatter that image - the focus clearly resides mostly on the males - but Scorsese does make a much greater attempt to demonstrate the female side of things and their perspective.
		The prior release of GoodFellas came out very early in DVD’s existence, and it suffered from two strikes: it was a “flipper” that split the movie onto two sides of one disc, and it failed to offer anamorphic enhancement.

		Goodfellas is a story of his life and the people around him.
		The Goodfellas vs. Godfather debate is good bar fodder, but not really fair, as one is based on fictional work, and one isn't.
		The Shawshank Redemption), and other directors as they talk about Goodfellas from a fan and directorial appreciation, which is pretty good, but I would have liked to have seen this longer, and with some more people.

		Goodfellas is a tour de force that brilliantly evokes both the seductive glamour and moral degradation of organised crime.
		GoodFellas is an appalling masterpiece of the kind that, along with New York's current well-publicized troubles, is likely to give pause to anyone planning to make a trip to the city.
		Goodfellas is the movie that sees most directly into the heart of the mob.

	GOODFELLAS
		If Scorsese’s GOODFELLAS is not the best film about gangsters and organized crime that has ever graced the screen than I sure don’t know what is. Yes, there was THE GODFATHER and the overrated GODFATHER 2.
		But GOODFELLAS is the film where Scorsese was able to completely narrow his vision down and depict the mob lifestyle with as much attention to the little details as possible.
		The film does have a definitive sense that the mafia life is an appealing one in terms of the spoils it generates.

	BBC - Films - review - GoodFellas
		But it's even more outrageous that on the two occasions he was most deserving of that honour - for "Raging Bull" in 1980 and for "Goodfellas" ten years later - he was pipped to the post by two actors making their directorial debuts.
		Based on "Wiseguy", Nicholas Pileggi's biography of real-life mobster turned FBI informer Henry Hill, "Goodfellas" is a tour de force that brilliantly evokes both the seductive glamour and moral degradation of organised crime.
		Following Hill's rapid rise from eager-to-please youth to gang kingpin, and from there to his inexorable descent into cocaine-fuelled mania, Scorsese's fast-paced, violent masterpiece ranks alongside "The Godfather" as one of the most vivid and truthful depictions of the Italian-American Mafia.

		Goodfellas is on of my favorite movies of all time and remains the benchmark by which I compare all other movies.
		Goodfellas is without a doubt one of the greatest mafia movies of all time.
		Goodfellas follows the story of Henry Hill -- a mafia grunt who has dreamed of nothing but becoming a gangster ever since he was a kid.

	Goodfellas
		While it may be premature to predict a similar status for Goodfellas in the 90s, it is certainly not too soon to recognize it as one of the most important films of 1990.
		Generally, Goodfellas is concerned with Pesci and De Niro's climb up the mob ladder and its effects on Liotta, but Scorsese's rich tapestry is both broader in scope and more detailed than a mere recounting of the events in the trio's life of crime.
		In Goodfellas Scorsese denies his central character the single characteristic that has made the gangster a viable screen subject practically from the dawn of cinema: his false tragic stature.

	GoodFellas (1990)
		When I viewed 1990’s GoodFellas on DVD, it was as part of a Martin Scorsese “mini-marathon” in which I also took in 1973’s Mean Streets and 1980’s Raging Bull.
		Women haven't played much of a role in most of Scorsese's films; Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and Raging Bull all clearly play from a male perspective in which women generally reside in the background.
		Although the DVD doesn't specifically say it, GoodFellas appeared to be one of those "remastered for Dolby Digital 5.1" deals.

		Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalizes the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program.
		The director's kinetic style is perfect for recounting Hill's ruthless rise to power in the 1950s as well as his drugged-out fall in the late 1970s; in fact, no one has ever rendered the mental dislocation of cocaine better than Scorsese.
		GoodFellas is at least as good as The Godfather without being in the least derivative of it.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Goodfellas
		Indeed, it is one of the best films ever on the subject, making us feel as though we’ve lived through the outrageous events along with the characters.
		‘GoodFellas’ has an expertly chosen soundtrack of songs ranging from Sinatra to ‘50s pop to ‘60s rock to the especially apt Sid Vicious rendition of "My Way" over the closing credits.
		While ‘GoodFellas’ is not unduly long - only 146 minutes - but it has the epic feel of an engrossing novel and an impact that seizes the imagination.

	moviefans.de !!! GoodFellas...
		Hill, who remains on a Mafia hit-list more than two decades after turning "stool pigeon", was forced to enter the Federal witness protection programme and take on a new identity.
		It was after entering the programme that Hill wrote Wiseguy, later made into the Oscar-winning movie, Goodfellas, by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese, with Ray Liotta playing Hill.
		The most exciting news was Hill's revelation that he is completing the follow-up to Wiseguy, which is expected to be the basis of a Goodfellas II film.

	Goodfellas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goodfellas (also spelled GoodFellas) is a 1990 film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, the true story of mob rat Henry Hill.
		Goodfellas is widely regarded as the first gangster film to show in detail how the "working-class" mafia lived.
		A highly influential film, it is perhaps the largest inspiration for the popular HBO series "The Sopranos", which also chronicles the life of a "working class" gangster.

		In the fledgling days of the DVD format, Martin Scorcese’s “GoodFellas” was one of the initial releases by Warner Brothers.
		“GoodFellas” is the anti-Godfather, it’s tells the story from the street hood’s level whereas Don Corleone lived in a mansion.
		Thankfully “GoodFellas” is among their first titles (just as it was on standard DVD).

	Goodfellas (1990): Reviews
		GoodFellas is easily one of the year's best films.
		Simultaneously fascinating and repellent, Goodfellas is Martin Scorsese's colorful but dramatically unsatisfying inside look at Mafia life in 1955-1980 New York City.
		Unforgettable qoutes aside, (Tell me, how the fk am i funny?!) Goodfellas** is one gangster masterpiece that should leave you with a lasting impression as soon as you finish viewing the film and reach for the rewind button.

	GOODFELLAS
		In GOODFELLAS, a brutal mafia killing is followed by an alarmingly normal Italian-style meal, served by the director's own mother, Catherine Scorsese.
		And one of the most sensuous and simultaneously menacing of all food images in modern cinema occurs during a prison scene, as the mafiosi prepare their ritual pasta sauce.
		The story was based on thirty years in the true life story of Henry Hill and his crew who were famous for robbing the airport, especially the Lufthansa heist.

		Like Casino after it, GoodFellas opens with a reminder that the story about to be told is true, followed by a brief scene of un-contextualized violence, followed by a Saul and Elaine Bass title sequence.
		Unlike Casino, with GoodFellas the Basses embrace the power of sparseness and horizontality in order to convey the docudrama tone of the narrative they are serving.
		The influence of François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows upon GoodFellas can be found in these frozen moments, as well as in the conclusion of the film.

		Scorsese, Pileggi and other collaborators are present on a patchwork and partial track which is too disjointed to be really satisfying; fortunately on the second track, Henry Hill himself is joined by ex-FBI agent Edward McDonald to chat about their own memories of the events depicted in the movie.
		As a poor Irish-Italian growing up in 1950s New York City, Hill rises through the ranks of his Brooklyn neighbourhood's organized crime branch, and with money from the mob he begins living the good life, complete with a beautiful bride, Karen (Lorraine Brocco), a fancy home, and the best seats at the most exclusive restaurants.
		Goodfellas is a enjoyable chunter through mafia life, but watching it for the first time in 2006, I was a little underwhelmed.

		Joe Pesci's psycho improvisation of Mobster Tommy DeVito ignited Pesci as a star; Lorraine Bracco achieves a career-defining performance as the love of Hill's life; and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a miracle.
		Based on the story of ganster turned informer Henry Hill, Goodfellas is a gritty and witty film that highlights the glamourous side of organised crime as well as the negativities and the very real dangers involved.
		Based on the true story of henry hill and his years as a fully fledged gangster,and his rise and ultimate downfall and along the way we see the manic tommy(joe pesci) and the cool under pressure jimmy (robert de niro).

		They're the trio also in "Casino" and "Raging Bull." What's wierd is how Pesci and Vincent always end up kicking the sh*t out of eachother.
		(I used the * because kids read this too, and we don't want kids saying this.) Goodfellas was a good movie though, and I hoped you liked it.
