One of my favorite scenes by far is where Henry pistol whips that one fag, Bruce, that fucked with Henry's girl. Henery bashes Bruce bad in the face right in front of Bruce's pals in the dudes own driveway. On some "Take no prisoners imma fuck up your face" type shit. I feel that.
I'm still full from yesterday some how, so thinking/typing is hard..lol. I will make an attempt at a comment though- Goodfellas is one of the best films of all time.
"What? I'm funny to you? I make you laugh? I'm here for your fucking amusement?"
Henry Hilll used to come into my friends plumbing supply place, he actually left protective custody though when he went in FBI agents played him audio recordings of mob bosses ordering a hit on him.
The Luthansa heist in the movie which actually happened they took 72 fifteen pound cartons of money..Daaamn! The Mob bosses got most of it
The scene where Liotta is driving around and the copter is following him and the stones are playing on the soundtrack really captured a coke paranoia feeling
great actors with no plot but being rated out in the end and stealing shit the godfathers and scareface those films are sicker then sick my opinion good fellas is garbage and not worth watching
I have yet to fully watch the Godfather, but how even compare it to Goodfellas. Goodfellas isn't several hours long. Compare it to Scarface or Casino or maybe even The Untouchables.
Everyone rides Scarface way too hard. It's a great rise to power story and the eventual fall, but how many of those are out there? Too many. It's not a masterpiece it's just a well told story.

but LOL @ the Animaniacs knockoffs "The Goodpigeons"
they sounded dead on liotta & pesci and were always dong spinoffs from that line
a man im compareing it to those movies based on the events that take place in the movie it was to weak i thought at least the godfather had passion to it and scarefase for its real life fucking point of view on his rise to power good fellas was nothing but overrated b movie with great actors thats what i think casino was 7 times better than good fellas
Godfather has a more indepth story then Goodfellas, and its a classic. Goodfellas was a better shot film, with better acting though.
Casino, Untouchables can touch Goodfellas or Godfather. As for Scarface, I own it on DVD, but I don't see why people ride its dick so hard (yeah its a pretty good film, but not the best by far).
I'd rather put in one of my seasons of Sopranos than watch Casino, Scarface.
