My favorite Scorsese Film, which I think deserves its own thread.

"For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster..."

I think you can make a case that Goodfellas is the greatest film in American Cinema post-Godfather. It's so damn perfect.

My top 5 favorite movies change from time to time, but this movie is always there.

There's nothing in this movie I would change.

I love it better than the Godfather.

One could, if not for Coppola's own Apocalypse Now.

Also, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are both after the Godfather are they not?

Scorsese told me I would get more scenes and more lines, he lied to my face. To this day he still looks the other way when he see me coming. I get shot by an old midget!
