Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
I never got why anyone was surprised/saddened when joe peshi character gets whacked in goodfellas. the dude is awful,stupid,unpredictable violent oval office the entire movie making massive problems for everyone. His death squel made me laugh. to bad they had to ruin a nice carpet with his retard brains. also i laughed at the pistol whipping scene.

Because of Goodfellas, no one can ever listen to the second half of "Layla" the same way as they did before seeing that movie.

I've made a psycho call to the woman I love, I've kicked a dog to death, and now I'm going to pepper spray an acquaintance. Something... I mean, what's happened to me?
Goodfellas is a modern classic that set the template for almost every mob-related film since.

Blow sucks as much dick as its star, which is to say a lot. They didn't call it Blow because it was about cocaine, you know. It was truth in advertising.

Goodfellas is actually pretty bad, you must have taken stupid pills because Godfather one and 2 are good mob movies, lol

Godfather and GF II are about high-level mobsters, heads of family. Goodfellas is about mid to low-level soldiers and their capos. It's a totally different milieu. Godfather also glamorizes the gently caress out of the mob, while Goodfellas is actually realistic and mostly factual. Sorry your fairy tale idea of the mob isn't in Goodfellas. Goodfellas actually works as a docudrama about events like the Lufthansa heist. You can actually learn poo poo from it. The Godfather movies are pretty loving fanciful by comparison, even though they're awesome in their own right.

Also, gently caress you Dr. Shark.

Me too, I must admit. Partly because I grew up in Vegas, and love the way it shows the transition from the mob heyday of the seventies to the corporate "family-oriented" era of the early nineties.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Corky Romano is obviously the best mob movie ever.

also Ace was a way more likable character overall to center the story around

dude just wanted to make money, and outside of falling in love with a smack user hes pretty much 100% right about everything

even using the tv show to fight back with the media

also Nicky getting whacked at the end was pure catharsis and his narration literally getting interrupted for his beating was a pretty great turn on Martin's usual style- like i could imagine a film critic rolling their eyes at the whole endless narration thing then Nicky gets hit in the back of the loving head with a bat in the middle of his spiel

Goodfellas was the practice run for what would become the standout greatest piece of american cinema, academy award-winner My Cousin Vinny.
