Editorial Review:
When Martin Scorsese one of the world's most skillful and respected directors reunited with two-time Oscar-winner Robert De Niro in GoodFellas the result was one of the most powerful films of the year. 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 performance. You have to see it to believe it-then watch again. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie.Running Time: 146 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/MAFIA UPC: 085391912224 Manufacturer No: 19122
Description of GoodFellas (Two-Disc Special Edition):
Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellasimmortalizes 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 the love of Hill's life, and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a miracle.

Classic lines from a Scorcese Masterpiece 
2009-10-30 - I really can't put into words how I feel about this film. A Scorcese masterpiece (for which they robbed him of Oscar), it juxtaposes, (the same way the Sopranos did later on), the real life family struggles mobsters deal with.......with their "jobs". Add to that the masterfully written dialogue, which incidentally has provided years and years of fodder for my family, and you have a film of monumental proportions---"Henry....you gotta go back to Karen.....you're not gonna get a divorce...we're not animale"....Genius! Genius!
Classic
