Based on the true-life best seller Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack, critics and filmgoers alike declared GoodFellas great. It was named 1990's best film by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. And it earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy 'The Gent' Conway. And as the volatile Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Academy Award nominee Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. You have to see it to believe it - then watch it again. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie. Amazon.com essential video: 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. 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 scores the performance of her life as Hill's love interest, and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a miracle.

Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Best gangster movie of all-time never looked better. One day the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect. Rating: - GoodFellas DVD Very good price, great communication and super fast delivery. I highly recommend the product and dealer. Rating: - One of the best mobster movies Great cast, one of the best mobster movies ever made. Would reccommend this for every one. Rating: - The Best Mob Movie Made - Ever! The quintessential New York City mob film, in a class by itself, my only five-star review to date (and I'd give it more if I could). Based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, Martin Scorsese's brilliant masterpiece introduces us to Henry Hill, as enacted by Ray Liotta, a disarming, likeable sort who can never be initiated into the Mafia because he's only half Italian (his father is Irish). Nevertheless, the "boys" who hang out at the neighborhood cabstand have taken a liking to him and use ...

I bought it primarily to see if the blu-ray was worth it on older movies, and I believe it is. see more
