Inversing The Godfather, we get the genetic outsider eventually selling out once he realizes allegiance and loyalty mean nothing versus, well, you know what happens in The Godfather. In contrast The Sopranos is its cultural descendant, both dealing with a materialistic nihilism inhabited by homicidal manchildren and punctuated by baby boomer pop culture hits. It's flawless.

The culmination of all of Martin Scorsese's considerable talents as a director. Though this movie doesn't have the raw emotional impact of Raging Bull or Taxi Driver, Marty and co. outdo themselves in just about every aspect: camerawork, cinematography, editing, screenplay, soundtrack, and so on, so forth. Liotta (in addition to giving one of the great fluke performances ever) gives the film even more urgency and impact with his frenzied, pitch-perfect narration. Entertainment gets no better.

A perfect mobster movie. The entire time I watched this film, and even today, it feels I am right alongside Henry Hill and the rest of the gangsters. Very good and yet scary, for it is based on a true story. This will always be remembered as Scorsese's masterpiece, and for obvious reasons.

Scorsese's most personal film--these streets must be close to what asthmatic little Marty saw outside his childhood window--and made at the height of his powers. Excelling at both montage and camera movement, Scorsese has the gift of knowing when each technique is most appropriate. Gangster life as depicted here may be romanticized, but the gangsters themselves are not. They are psychopaths, and Scorsese makes sure his audience knows it.

Just as the Godfather defined the early 70's, Goodfellas defined the early 90's. One of my all time favorite films. Paul Sorvino is incredible. Robert De Niro is God. Joe Pesci is, well Joe Pesci. Must go see film again (it doesn't hurt that Henry Hill went to PS 114 with my Mom in Brooklyn...)

Of my (currently) 3 films rated a perfect 100, this is the only one that objectively deserves it. No other movie captures the feeling of life as a gangster as well as this. Others capture the grittiness, but lack the "fun" that really draws the people into the lifestyle. A truly perfect film.

A strong contender as Scorsese's most negligible, most dispensable, most redundant movie. Here we go again: the subjective tracking shot through a nightclub, the stack of goldie-oldies to be gone through on the soundtrack, the torturously repetitive dialogue ("fuckin' " this and "fuckin' " that). Yes, there's a new device to be tried out, too: the intermittent freeze-frame for comic-ironic punctuation -- well, not exactly a new device: a New Wave device.

So many classic scenes. Like so many. This movie is perfectly cast with Pesci and De Niro giving 2 of the strongest performances of their careers. The rise and fall of Henry Hill is so compelling and interesting. Honestly the only thing wrong with this movie is that I've seen it too many times and it's lost a bit of its initial punch. Simply put - it's amazing. Scorsese shines again and again.

Rewatching this after many years, I feel silly about my previous score. I still sense that something is amiss dramatically, compared to Scorsese's very best works, and its tongue-in-cheek attitude has pros and cons. But Goodfellas is nevertheless an excellent portrayal of "the life", boasting stupendous acting, photography and editing.

If THE GODFATHER is operatic, GOODFELLAS is anti-operatic. The acting, dialogue, camerawork, editing and soundtrack all come together beautifully to create a remarkable rollercoaster ride, especially if seen at the cinema. This movie shows Scorsese at the height of his directorial powers, even if TAXI DRIVER remains his greatest masterpiece, and RAGING BULL probably his second greatest.

One of the best films of all time! Scorcese's materpiece! "Dances With Wolves" my ass! This is one of my favorite movies! Scorcese really knew what he was doing here. Too bad he had to go all pretensious afterwards. But after The Departed, there's still hope... however, he'll never be able to deliver a picture like this (I haven't seen The Departed yet though).

Wow, ummm, people seem to like this one. I liked it too, but not quite as much as others did, apparently. I thought Ray Liotta was great, which was something of a shock for someone not overly familiar with his work. Pesci and Deniro play their usual rules and they're fine. I thought it definitely dragged in places and I was somewhat bored by the typical "rags to riches to rags again" mobster story. I was able to telegraph a lot. Besides the "I've seen this before" feelings, it was well done.

Unlike that other Mafia movie, Goodfellas does not portray the criminal life as one based on loyalty, family, or respect. In Goodfellas, the people you know and work with would just as soon stab you in the back as give you your share of the money. It's a life of greed and paranoia. The film is shot beautifully and the acting is top-notch.

All my life I wanted to be a gangster. Well, that's what Goodfellas will give you. It's a captivating story about what it's like in the world of organized crime. On top of respect, loyalty, family ties, and the best marinara you've ever tasted, Goodfellas shows you that any one of your so-called friends is ready to stab you in the back if they have anything to gain from it. With an amazing cast and incredible direction, Goodfellas is a movie that no one can forget. Awesome!

Everything but the kitchen sink, a film which pulls no punches and miraculously never misfires. Multiple characters narrate a timeline of decades, the constantly roving camera creates tangible three-dimensional spaces, perfectly timed montage glazed with cleverly curated pop tracks, exceptionally witty text delivered in a wide range of charismatic performances. In summary, an exhilarating and virtuoso showcase by a confident filmmaker at the height of his creative powers.

After this finished I spent several hours trying to work out my thoughts on Goodfellas. It's not my type of movie at ALL - and yet I can recognize art when I see it. The performances were great, the long shot of the couple going to the Copacabana was masterful, and the cheerful soundtrack added an undercurrent of irony to the movie. But do I want to watch this again? No.

A film about life in the fast lane should be conducted as such. Scorsese zips through criminal acquaintances, robberies, night club murders, pasta, and prison life through the eyes of a becoming mobster. Obviously the work of someone who saw it first-hand. The soundtrack is just as explosive and lively as the smash-mouth narrative and bustling story. Pesci is immortalized as the spider slaying, Navarone slinging, Butcher knife wielding, fuck screaming bad guy. What a character! Classic Marty.

Scorsese deploys his strengths - candid voiceover draws us into Hill's headspace while long tracking shots add depth to his world, Italian food porn creates atmosphere and ironic pop needle drops give it a saucy tone. A decade of your uncle's shitty cackling Liotta memes can't fade this classic. Wild to me that this was the same year Pesci was doing Home Alone.

GOODFELLAS and a few other scorsese flicks (i.e. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE) can be boiled down to characters trying, and usually failing, to make movies out of their lives; that is to say, they want all of the power, thrills, romance and glory, but none of the accompanying risk, sacrifice and terror. that the invasion of reality into this hyped up gangster romp feels so unnerving and nasty is a testament to how deeply scorsese shares in that doomed desire.

Scorsese doesn't put a foot wrong here. The direction, the editing, the soundtrack; all amazing. My only real problem is that the characters and the story left me a little cold. It just didn't draw me in. Most of the characters are completely horrible, including Henry, and particularly his wife (Bracco). She spent two and a half hours shrieking and wailing. It gave me a headache. If it had one or two characters I could sympathise with and root for, it would score much higher.

Not enough can be said about the greatness of this film. The laughs, the tears, the emotions: all work seamlessly with the characters. The real star though is everything but that. The writing, directing, cinematography, and the glorious soundtrack. It all perfectly ensnares you and before you know it, you laugh with Tommy, hope for Jimmy, and cheer for Henry. The time flies by and leaves you with one of the most satisfying cinematic experiences you will ever have.

This movie blew me away the first time I saw it. This was the first real mobster movie I saw and none have come even close to it for me (including the Godfather movies). No matter how many times I see it I get sucked into the story and love every second of the ride through Henry Hill's life. Credit for this goes to both the actors (who are all brilliant) and Scorsese who is brilliant balancing pace, mood, setting and one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard in my life. Greatness defined.

This is my all-time favorite movie for 3 fundamental reasons: First, it flawlessly portrays the moral ambiguity of criminal life. Second, it has one of the best acted psychopaths in crime drama history (What, do I amuse you?). Finally, it weaves brutal violence and dark humour together so effortlessly that the line between them basically disappears. This movie is always fun for me to watch, and I never tire of rewatching it just to enjoy the career defining performances everyone involved gives.

(after repeat viewings) Godfather I & II are finer mobster films IMO, but Goodfellas stands on its own most definitely. A triumph of slick direction and breathlessly taut storytelling.

Scorsese's most consistently enchanting movie is not only the best about the mob but also one of the very best about a time and place and the people in it.

The Godfather trilogy focuses on Mob royalty; the men who make the plans and run the empire. This, on the other hand, is the story of the ground troops, the thugs, toughs, and wiseguys who do all of the heavy lifting. God damn, does this film ever draw you in and take you for a ride.

Showing the enjoyment of extreme violence through and through, so unreservedly to the point that the final forceful inhibition of it doesn't feel like a punishment but the well-deserved closing remarks of a life of criminal glory. Most outstandingly, there's no withdrawal from the fact that women can be truly attracted to this extreme violence even when it ends up making her life completely unliveable, without simply being a crybaby and victim in the situation.

The movie has some great characters and a lot of the swooshing camerawork is exhilarating. The narration can be overbearing and a lot of the scenes feel claustrophobic. Some variation in pace and space would have served the movie well. At times it feels awkward but some all-time great scenes are sprinkled throughout. Despite the flaws, the way violence punctuates the story, is what made the movie memorable.

Love the swooping, pushing, dollying, zooming camera. Love that shit. There's one push on De Niro while that Cream song is playing that gave me chills. But Scorsese is so laser-focused on character and plot that a late, very short exterior shot of a New York street made me remember that, hey, this movie is set in New York. And I suddenly realised why I'd felt so claustrophobic and exhausted for the last hour. I needed some space.

PSI at 84 matches my initial thought, though I'm going to go a bit higher for now 'cuz of how well made it is. The easiest-to-watch and most glamorous portrayal of the gangster lifestyle that I've seen so far, which makes the screw-ups and the failures all the more effective. Some really neat extended shots here, and some choice cuts on the soundtrack. Didn't have quite enough of an emotional core for me to enjoy it on a higher level than as a stellar piece of film making, but no shame in that.

Magnificent in its epic scope, as seen both in its decades-long timeline and its lengthy, immersive scenes, thoughtfully written with loads of dialogue that goes beyond just plot-driving, building instead an authentic, enveloping world that yanks you along with Liotta's engaging lead to every boisterous dinner party, roadside grave-digging, and mistress' apartment (the coke-fueled adventures near the end are particularly wild). Great music and cool audio scene overlaps are also notable here.

A bunch of gangster stuff happens, people die, money gets made, all of which leads to zero character or plot development. I'm sure it's highly realistic, but that doesn't make it a compelling movie.

The perfect movie. The whole manages to be even greater than the sum of its parts (and those parts are pretty great).

Goodfellas sits comfortably alongside the Godfather Parts I & II as one of, if not the greatest crime drama of all time. The great Martin Scorsese delivers on every level, the overall direction, writing, soundtrack and in particular the performances are of the highest calibre. Robert De Niro is on top form and Ray Liotta gives a career best performance. Lorraine Bracco & Paul Sorvino are worthy mentions too. But the highlight here has to be Joe Pesci. Goodfellas is a timeless masterpiece.

Great, but not even close to the Godfather's. Pesci and De Niro was made for doing Mob-films.

Hard-hitting and stylish, Goodfellas is a gangster classic - and arguably the high point of Martin Scorsese's career.

When Martin Scorsese's crime saga Goodfellas was recommended to me, I asked how it was in comparison to The Godfather. To be fair, the two aren't really comparable. Goodfellas is a dazzling showcase in the best spirit of modern filmmaking, while The Godfather burns more slowly as an old-fashioned family epic on a grander scale. In my book, not only are they fairly equivalent in artistic quality and entertainment value, but they're complementary.

One of the greatest films ever made, Ray Liotta makes his role of a lifetime appearance leading a star cast of unfaulted actors in Scorsese's masterpiece. Capturing the highs and lows of organised crime, this film based on the true life story of Henry Hill from being a somebody to a nobody. I really can't imagine too many people wouldn't have seen this, it's a timeless classic, but to people who haven't seen it because they are not fans of this genre, if you only ever watch one gangster

I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen this movie and will surely see it again and again in the future. Incredible cast, witty narration, and the mixture of cold-hearted violence and clever humor is unbeatable.

i will never get bored of watching this. immaculate performances from all the characters, i can't even choose one to single out! this movie has the most authentic feel of a mafia soldier's life, a kid's dream trying to make it big in the mob world, but failing to adhere to the family's strict rules got him (and the family) into some deep shit.
