This 1990 mob movie was one of my favorites. Joe Pesci won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role. I also thought DeNiro and Liotta did great...

GOODFELLAS is the ultimate gangster film. it manages to do in one film what THE GODFATHER couldn't do in three (I've never liked Mr. Coppola's 'classic' trilogy, sorry folks) I rememember watching GOODFELLAS when I was 15 and I fell in love with it instantly! the dialogue is perfect and the script is full of dark humour; Liotta's narration is great too. a true classic.

I love Goodfellas, one of the best gangster movies of all time. I have to dissagree with raggedyman though. I think The Godfather 1&2 are supurb films. It's part 3 that sucks and should have never been made.

dark humour...its funny how, funny like its a clown it amuses you, it makes you laugh its here to ****ing amuse you, what the **** is so funny about 'Goodfellas', tell me, tell me what's funny?

'Godfather III' would've been on a par with the first two had Winona Ryder been well enough to play Mary, even its harshest critics can't deny that Andy Garcia ruled in that movie whilst Al Pacino (like his pal Bob) with yellow, filed down teeth, bristly hair and a haggard expression, took method acting one step too far.

I loved Godfather 1 and 2, but Part 3 was definitely a letdown...

Now this is what I'm talking about as far as perfect movies go. This movie came out when I was ten years old and I have managed to see it at least ten times a year since them (those first seven years were hard since mom wasn't too keen on me watching the "Joe Pesci Goes Crazy Show.") The Sunday May 11, 1980 sequence has to be one of the best edited sequences in cinema history. Rick James may have said "Cocaine's a Hell of a Drug," but that part proves it tenfold.

Ray Liotta will always be Henry Hill from Goodfellas. He can play other roles, but just seeing him will always take ya back to this movie. The dark humor is on target and suporting cast of De Niro and Pesci make this movie a Mobster classic. Most people think of The Godfather when you discuss gangster movies, but I prefer Goodfellas.

You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you'd say to somebody: "You're gonna like this guy; he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.

I think Ray Liotta is one of the most underrated actors of modern time. I liked him in that movie "Narc" and to me he was the only good thing about that Stallone movie "Copland."
