    I saw this when it first came out on VHS. We were drinking so it really didn't register much with me. I finally got around to watching it again last night. Forgot that Ray Liotta was actually pretty good in roles like this when he was young and before he got even more lizardy looking. Even though he was the main character, he still seems like a character actor when compared to others in the movie. Robert DeNiro was excellent as was Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino. I never realized that Samuel Jackson was in the movie either. Interesting that 2 hit men come to his door to take him out and shoot him in cold blood ala Pulp Fiction. Sort of.

    Anyway, 8.5/10. Maybe a little dated.

    that , that movie is an 11/10. Funny watching that movie again after getting used to Lorraine Bracco as Tony Soprano's shrink though.

    Yeah...that was interesting. I forgot she was in the movie. When I watched Sopranos, I knew I'd seen her in things but couldn't place her.

    But the rating for Goodfellas is 8.5/10. I deducted some points for parts of the score as well.

    I also forgot how good Pesci was in this.

    Actors end up in perfect roles for them but then get popular and take roles that show that they aren't really that good.

    ah. Maybe not. After looking at his filmography, he really didn't take on too much outside of his range. Casino was great also. And My Cousin Vinny was funny as .

    If you read the book the movie was based on, they actually really tamed Tommy down for the movie.

    Damn. I also didn't realize that the Denzel flick, "Man on Fire" was a remake.

    It's been a while but I did read the book. But can't remember it at all. Except it seems like it was really short.

    ed up the part where Henry and Tommy DeSimone are walking down the street and Tommy just murders some random old man who passes by for fun.

    In this day and age, what the "f" is this world coming to? I can't believe this, prejudice against - a Jew broad - prejudice against Italians.

    That one got great laughs with a live audience...

    How long ago did you read it tbh?

    I was watching a 30 for 30 on the BC point shaving scandal and the fed prosecutor (who actually played himself in the movie) talks about Henry Hill coming in to testify against Jimmy and it was the point shaving that got him the sentence. At the end of the 30 for 30, they actually had Hill and one of his old associates that he was at odds with. It was a strange add on to the do entary but was interesting.

    Troll attempt and everyone fell for it. This movie is as close to perfect as can be. It's in the God-tier along with Lawrence if Arabia, Godfather 1 & 2, Star Wars 4 & 5, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Those make up my pinnacle
