Released 30 years ago this month. Such a relentless energy to it. It’s why Martin Scorsese has the reputation he does.
Now go home and get your fuckin’ shine box!

It's a movie I very strongly dislike, along with most other acclaimed gangster movies.

Didn't care much for it. Casino is far better.

While very good, I've never been a true fan either. After the first 1-3 viewings, its expositional narration wanes. Sorry not sorry.

A modern day classic! i saw it on video with my dad when it hit video at age 10 and saw it again as a teen and enjoyed it since teenhood.

I was a high school freshman when Goodfellas came out.

Pretty good, though I prefer Casino.

It's interesting the preference for Casino since I recall it was regarded less favorably when it came out (as a GoodFellas rehash).
I think I'd rather rewatch Casino than GoodFellas, it's more exotic and DeNiro's character is less abrasive than Liotta's.

I like it but I dont think its Scorsese's best. I prefer Casino, Taxi Driver and The Departed.

Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody.

Probably the first Scorsese movie I saw, and remains one of my faves. It’s so quotable too and a cast filled with faces you recognized everywhere after. Great flick.

Did you guys know the real Henry Hill (Ray Liotta's character) would make frequent appearances on The Howard Stern Show? Howard would often get pranks calls from "wiseguys" threatening Henry for being a rat.

" That's why I liked Casino more, he was a flawed human being but seemed more down to earth and less of a terrible husband and a caring father, whereas Henry was just a wannabe tough guy who manipulated his wife. In fact that's often the one redeeming quality of criminal protagonists (Don Vito, Tony Soprano, Walter White) they're scumbags, but they're trying to provide for their families, that's the only to real mitigating factor, so we root for them because of that.
