Goodfellas - Martin Scorcese (1990)

I think I had seen this movie before. A lot of it looked very familiar. Obviously, it didn't make a very large impact on my if I didn't actually remember seeing it.

Let's put it this way - I didn't dislike the movie. Is it one of my favourites - no. Is it a good movie - of course.

I think my 'problem' with this movie is the fact that my favourite movie is 'The Godfather'. And it might be a case of - you are either a 'Godfather' person or a 'Goodfellas' person. (As one is either a 'Star Wars' person or a 'Star Trek' person.)

I think the other 'problem' that I have with this movie is - I have seen it in the post-'Soprano' world. Which I think skews my view of it. So by watching 'The Sopranos' I took the advanced course, before taking the introductory course.

On the other hand, any movie with DeNiro in it is alright with me!

One word to describe 'Goodfellas': Pesci (as in Joe Pesci)
