Goodfellas(1990)
"Goodfellas" is another brilliant gangster movie featuring Italian-American mobsters possesses many similarities with mid 70’s "The Godfather". In brief, Goodfellas tells the story of Henry Hill (Liotta), who from childhood had aspirations of being a gangster, his rise & fall in the mafia world. Henry starts out small and slowly and steadily eventually works his way up to top of the chain. By the time he is 21, he has more money than anyone else, a girlfriend, and the respect of the mob. Hendry closely works with characters such as Jimmy Conway (Robert DeNiro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci). But after Henry gets married to Karen (Lorraine Bracco), things will change & his fall. Everything about this movie is absolutely perfect with great script, direction and acting this is one the best films from 90’s, Overall, this movie is a must see for any Scorsese fan. It's my next favorite movie of his and I think it is stand next to his earlier best movies Taxi Driver & Ragging Bull. People say the Godfather is the greatest crime movie ever and perhaps they are right. But for me 'Goodfellas' is more energetic & engaging movie than Godfather. For this is the reason; it sits at no 2 position in my list.
