"Goodfellas", my favourite film of all time. An absolute belter of a movie on so many levels. It's filmed beautifully by Scorcese and it looks amazing, getting the various period details perfect. It is at times scarily violent and hysterically funny. It features some of the best ever use of popular music in cinema such as when Robert De Niro decides to murder someone to "Sunshine of your love" or there's a raft of bodies discovered to the piano refrain from "Layla". It features career best performances from Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Paul Sorvino and Lorraine Bracco and perhaps De Niro's last truly great performance. Nearly two and a half hours long, but it flies by because it's entertaining throughout as the glamour of a life of crime is slowly but surely stripped away.
I must have seen this a 100 times at least but if it was on TV tonight, I'd stick it on again.
