Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalises 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. Scorsese uses period music perfectly, not just to summon a particular time but to set a precise mood. GoodFellas is at least as good as The Godfather without being in the least derivative of it. 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. Martin Scorsese's violent, true-life gangster epic which follows Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) as he rises through the ranks of the Mafia. Upon turning FBI informant to help pay for his drug addiction, Hill recalls how he got started in the Mob following the $6 million robbery of a Lufthansa cargo at a New York airport. Hill and his partners, Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy De Vito (Joe Pesci), went on to rise through the ranks of the Mafia over three decades, eventually eliminating Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino), the neighbourhood godfather who originally took Hill under his wing. Joe Pesci won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Note: The product is a 2 sided disc so after 70 mins when disc cuts out it needs to be flipped over and played on the other side for the rest of the film.

All time classic.
In the top 3 greatest mafia movies of all time. Beautiful cinematography, musical score... and what a cast!. And this 4k DVD andts Dolby Atmos soundtrack brought me right back to the early 90's watching it on a cinema in Paris.

Absolute Masterpiece
I had never seen Goodfellas before this Blu Ray release. So I bought it after hearing many great things (such as being on the AFI Top 100 Movies list and a friend recommending it over the Godfather) and while I can't comment on how it compares to the Godfather (that's in the post now) I can say it was really superb. Even at close to 2 and a half hours, it doesn't feel too long. Brilliant cast and especially good performances by Pesci and de Niro, this is simply a must see movie in my book. I'll admit that the sections regarding Harry's home life weren't as interesting as the actual crime parts and this movie isn't directly about the mafia (as Harry explains, he's not allowed to join because of his half-Irish heritage) so it was a little disappointing in that regard but it's a very minor niggle and doesn't affect it overall. Blu-ray release looks good on picture although not a massive leap in terms of sound due to the fact that the movie is generally dialogue driven and there isn't a lot of action or ambiance. I'd still say it's worth the extra though.

Funny how?
A classic film, but a shoddy 4K transfer. One of the very worst and lazy 4K transfers. Only buy it if you see it for a bargain, otherwise if you have the bluray you're not missing much.

Gangsters films
Some time ago I decided to make a top 10 collection of gangster films but I was only able to assemble 8, 1.The Godfarther(1972), 2.The Godfather Part 2(1974), 3.Scarface(1983), 4.Once Upon A Time In America (1984), 5.The Godfarther Part 3(1990), 6.Goodfellas(1990) 7.Casino(1995), 8.Heat(1995), these gangster films most of which are based on true stories have compleatly unlikeable gangster characters of course but are played by award winning actors and directed by acclaimed film directors and can have good looking guys in them like Ray Liotta. These films are only suitable for persons over 18 years and over, they are certainly not suitable for children or teenagers, if teenagars view these films they will often become drug addicts and we certainly don't want that do we.

Movie about the Mafia
Great movie, I saw it years ago and I know I'll watch it again ( and again). It's told from the point of view of one guy who, when he's a kid, sees how the gangsters live and wants that life. It shows his progression as a gangster, and the lives of F other guys too. Action, crime, great film.
