"The best Mob movie ever." -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
When Martin Scorsese, one of the world's most skillful and respected directors, reunited 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.

A look a life in the mob likenever before - 5 out of 5 (8/19/2004)
For almost as long as cinema has projected images on the big silver screen the American viewing public has been enthralled by the mobster. There appears to be something captivating about these men that live outside the law that perhaps appeals to us, the ability to vicariously live as these glorified criminals without breaking the laws ourselves. There are three films that have transcended this genre to become American classics and even part of our culture, The Godfather, The Godfather Part Two
