This is ine of the best movies out there. I love the
cinematography, especially the tracking shot when he takes
her into the club through the back. However, I feel that the
story losses touch at some points.

This movie was nice to the price. I enjoyed it emmensely
and right after I watched it I went home and whacked off. I
really liked it when Henry roofed Karen's briiists

I found Goodfellas to be the greatest movie of all time.
That's a tough statement to make with all of the movies I
have seen from past to present. No other movie describes in
great detail what Goodfellas sets out to do. The acting is
surperb throughout and their is never a dull moment during
the entire movie. I will forever like Ray Liotta for this
movie alone. He is that good! As well as the rest of the
cast. I have seen the movie at least (30) times and never
grow tired of it. It's an absolute masterpiece! Bravo to
Scorsese and everybody involved. A true classic!

I loved this film, it is the best film I have ever seen.
Martin Scorsese did a great job of making this film from
the book, Wiseguy. I think this film is definitely the
best mafia film ever made, a lot better than the
Godfather. One of the reasons I enjoyed it so much was
because it is a true story, the characters existed. All in
all Goodfellas is a classic to be seen again and again.

If you took the 'f' word out of this film, Marcel Marceaux
could handle nearly any part. Disgusting.

This is one of the best movies of all time!! I have always
dreamed of marrying someone just like Henry or Tommy. The
director or whoever did the casting did an excellent job.
There will never be another movie like Goodfellas. I just
can't believe how Henry turns out to be the rat!! How could
they make him the rat? But overall this is the best movie
ever!!!!!

I give this movie 5 stars. (It would let me press the 5
option). Robert deniro is as great as ever, and all the
other characters catch you in a feeling of interest and
amusement too. Watching it almost made me which I had lived
those times and known people like them. Their lives were a
movie. One of my favorite movies ever.
