Directed by the mighty Martin Scorsese, Goodfellas is electrifying. It presents Henry Hill's larger-than-life persona. A young boy gets caught up in organized crime, and what happens from there is as thrilling as it gets. Ray Liotta and a fabulous cast, including Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, made the movie unforgettable. The movie follows the highs and dramatic lows of Henry's time in the Mafia. With gritty realism, fast-paced direction, and nuanced performances, Goodfellas is one of the most highly regarded gangster movies of all time, receiving multiple Academy Award nominations and wins.
