Movie should be renamed "Bad Fellas". I got bored with the theme of this movie so I didn't finish this. Not recommended by me.

Should you ask me to sum up this movie in only a few words, I'd say this: "a day in the life of a mob." In this near two-and-a-half-hour film, it follows a young man as he joins and ascends into the life of a mobster. While this life does…

Excellent mafia movie. Make sure to flip over DVD pt 1 for pt 2.

FYI - DVD is double-sided.....flip it over to see the 2nd half of the movie. "Goodfellas" is the 2nd best Mafia-type picture ever made...."Casino" is close behind. Both movies are based on books by the same author, Nick Pileggi. "The…

End to end a classic movie. So many great scenes that it's one you can watch anytime. How Dances With Wolves won the Best Picture Oscar over this is beyond me.

I think this dvd is missing a second disc or something. This one only plays the first hour of the movie, then abruptly cuts off. I really liked that first hour though, just wish I got to see the rest.

For those prepared to endure violence, bad language and cultural insensitivity, a real feast. Two decades’ of The Life planted into viewers' psychology—some of it definitely experienced as fun. Superb use of period music: Donovan’s…

It amuses me greatly when I see people check out gangster movies and then complain about the violence and language. That is exactly what helps to make "Goodfellas" such an outstanding film: that unlike the highly romanticized elegance of…

Not much to this celebrated gangster flick. Director Scorsese's swooping-camera stylings (greatly toned down from their deployment in Taxi Driver) remind me of the elaborate pompadours tough guys used to sport. None of the actors is given…

Based on actual events. This was unusual in that the movie is on one DVD with 2 sides. Never came across anything like that so when Side A was done I thought it was an abrupt end of the movie. Tried Side B and continued.

Goodfellas is an American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is an adaptation of the 1985 non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi. The film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill and his friends and family from…

One of the strongest and most entertaining mafia movies out there. Joe Pesci knocks it out of the park as the psychopathic Tommy DeVito.

Very good movie, I found it to be somewhat factual. The behavior and traditions of these gangsters were developed over the years made them feel like they could get by with anything. However the RICO ACT passed in 1970 came along and…

The best gangster film ever made. The sequel to this, Casino, is the second best gangster movie ever made.

Co-written and directed by Martin Scorsese in 1990 adapted from the 1985 non-fiction book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, this crime drama depicts the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill and his friends and family from 1955 to 1980.…

vile, vulgar people do vile, vicious things for two and a half hours, a horrible movie

I am frankly surprised by the 5 store reviews. This doesn't even come close to The Godfather. What is impressive: the director chose actors with Italian surnames to play Italians. Excessive profanity, so if you are offended by that, be…

"Funny, like I'm a clown? I amuse you?" The film has such a deep influence on modern pop culture that question comes up of what to think of the original story with all of its twists and turns. Fortunately, Martin Scorsese's phenomenal…

This modern classic is a fascinating tale about the rise and fall of an ambitious gangster, perfectly directed (and edited) and told in a most brutal way by Martin Scorsese, with many memorable moments and a remarkable performance by Joe…

This is Scorsese at the very height of his powers, orchestrating storytelling with a dynamic urgency and a bravura use of camera, music and outstanding performers.

One of the most electric, well-acted, superbly directed mob dramas ever put on film -- based on real mobsters in a long forgotten airport heist but here brought to life with an in-your-face intensity, crisply, nay beautifully wrought…
