GoodFellas (Blu-ray)
From Nicholas Pileggi's true-life bestseller Wiseguy, GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie. Directed and co-written by Martin Scorsese, it was judged 1990's Best Picture by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics and named to the American Film Institute's Top-100 American Film List. Electrifying performances abound, and from a standout cast that includes Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino. Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. It "bristles with passion, wit and style" and endures as "an American classic" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone).

A Mobster Classic - vsodhi
The story of Henry Hill and his rise through the ranks of the mafia, in 1990's Goodfellas, is a mafioso classic. A must see. The casting of Deniro and Pesci seems like in a past life they were actual members of a crime syndicate. Minor roles blossomed into major roles in later mafia programming such as the Soprano's. The story follows a young Henry Hill as a child, who given his poor background, is easily enthralled with the perks of being a gangster. What follows is his rise through the empire. Classic scenes, and the title for having the 9th most f-bombs in film, Goodfellas is a must for any mafia enthusiast, and anyone who loves a good life story.The best mob movie ever! - LandPhil
If you have never seen this movie then you should get down on your knees and beg the movie goods for their forgiveness. This is a classic! You know the way your parents talk about movies like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Psycho and The Graduate as classics? That's exactly how I feel about this movie, I remember seeing this movie in the theatre in 1989 and just being blown away by it. It was one of the first movies I ever bought and I still watch it a couple of times a year. Great script, great dialogue, great acting and superior directing. Enough said.
