[@zmarko]

There's a great comedy based on the same character (Henry Hill), that picks up essentially where this movie leaves off. It's called My Blue Heaven, and stars Steve Martin and Rick Moranis. It was released very shortly before Goodfellas, but is much less well known. It's a fun ride, and a humorous take on the witness relocation program and mob guys. Lol

[@kinofile]

What's funny is that "My Blue Heaven" was written by Nora Ephron, who was married to the co-writer of this movie, Nicholas Pileggi.

[@josephamoraz7990]

Raging Bull and Taxi Driver are some Marty classics

[@murrayhough3410]

I don’t know if anyone ever notices, when Karen goes to see jimmy and he tells her he has dresses for her. The street signs say “ONE WAY” and “DON’T WALK “. I think Scorsese is saying that she was never going to come back if she went in. 🤔

[@cruesome2]

Other Scorsese greats: Raging Bull, The Aviator, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Color Of Money. There's so many great films and most of them aren't about gangsters.

The Aviator, Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance IMO.

[@kevinpeterson4116]

Scorsees made some great non-mob movies too. Check out "The Last Waltz" or "Shine A Light," both great concert movies.

[@jeffpawlinski3210]

An absolutely wonderful (non-gangster) Martin Scorsese directed film is "HUGO" It is one of the most cinematically beautiful films I have ever seen. Family friendly and perfect for your channel, enjoy!

[@vitaminK1121]

Another great non-gangster Scorsese, but still a period piece, but not family-friendly is Age of Innocence with Daniel Day Lewis. Wonderfully mesmerizing! (And now since I mention it, it's probably time for a rewatch.)

[@alistairkentucky-david9344]

Stacks Edwards was played by a young Samuel L. Jackson. And the "actor" who played the FBI agent at the end was actually the real life FBI agent who worked with Henry.

[@umphreak9999]

4:10 one of my favorite moments of the movie happens right after that. The judge enters, takes one look at Henry's attourney who has a big smile on his face, then an almost resigned nod and a half-hearted "Counselor, proceed" from the judge them smash-cut to Henry leaving a free man. Brilliant

[@deckofcards87]

Goodfellas is a good contender for the greatest movie of the 90s, along with Pulp Fuction, Three Colors Blue, Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List, etc. Ohhh you definitely need to watch Godfather part II, that's a must!

[@jamesalexander5623]

Godfather Part II .... That's part of the Religion!

[@bobcobb3654]

I like that this was the film where we finally get to see Paul Sorvino as a badass. For 2 decades before, he was always cast as the “frustrated supervisor” type role. Usually, he was a police commissioner or a bureaucrat who had just had too much and was praying for just a few stress free days. Although, he did shine in the early 80s in the film adaptation of the play “That Championship Season.” That play was his passion project. He was in the Broadway cast, the film, and even directed the remake in the late 90s. Both versions of the film adaptation are awesome, btw.

[@bobcobb3654]

When I was a kid, my mom decided to go back to school to finish her degree. So on Tuesday and Thursday nights, Dad had us, so our Tuesday ritual was going to the local second-run dollar theater. It was a small 3-screen theater, and sometimes all the flicks would be R-rated. That was the situation the night he took me to see this. I remember on the drive home, he told me “Don’t tell your mother I let you watch this,” but I thought it was awesome. Even to this day, it’s one of my desert island top 5 flicks.

[@waterbeauty85]

I liked another reactors comment on Paulie: "Paulie is interesting. He looks cuddly and scary at the same time."

[@paulobrien9572]

[@r2153]

"If you name your kid Paulie, you're kind of asking for him to be a gangster". Funny AF!

[@heterophony2]

Scorsese does other non-gangster films. Two of the best are Taxi Driver-written by the brilliant Paul Schrader-and The Age of Innocence, based on the Edith Wharton novel. It’s worth mentioning, too, that the unique look of Goodfellas is due to the cinematographer Michael Ballhaus, who worked with Scorsese on many of his films.

[@caryd67]

I read the book first, back in the mid eighties. I was hooked immediately. I’ve probably seen this movie over 150 times since 1990.

[@88Switches]

The fact that Scorsese managed to take Joe Pesci - a pretty small, sweet-faced, lovable guy - and make him one of the most intimidating characters in cinema history says a LOT about his film making. The direction, the photography, the script... absolutely everything was on point for that scene.

[@jasonm8017]

Yeah right? I’m terrified of the guy. In the old days, had misunderstandings with guys much bigger and tougher

[@jonlate4581]

If you've read the book, the real Tommy was 100 times the monster that Pesci portrayed. He was a big hulking dude that was pretty much descibed as a homicidal maniac. The real guys name was Tommy Desimone.

[@jamesalexander5623]

That's why George Carlin Prays to him!

[@tmerrick24]

The real Henry Hill used to call the Howard Stern show sometimes. He was a tortured miserable awful person in real life who died an addict and unhappy. The guy "Spider" they killed was never found and his family still has no closure. Hill knew where they put that poor guy and never told anyone. Spider's sister would call the show when Henry was on. He was a bad person but the calls to the show were entertaining.

[@jamesalexander5623]

Howard Stern is the Greatest Interviewer of All Time. And Credit to him, he stayed On Air during 9-11. he had listeners calling from right around the Towers!

[@tmerrick24]

@@jamesalexander5623 I hate Howard Stern now because he turned into a fascist but back in the day he did have a good show.

[@paulp9274]

Henry Hill never admits to killing anybody, because he couldn't get immunity for that. I read the book years ago (before the movie came out), its an interesting read. For another take on this character, check out 'My Blue Heaven' with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis, its a comedy about a gangster in witness protection, also inspired by Henry Hill's story.

[@freeheeler00]

Some of the scenes in this film are some of the most iconic of all-time. Such a masterpiece in terms of first person storytelling and pacing. I love Godfather 2. It's a much slower paced film but the two different story lines paralleling each other is and always will be a classic.

[@MrDMF567]

One of the all time rewatch movies. Doesn’t matter where it is, if I see it on tv, at any point, I’m watching it. Such a great movie. And I love how the music mostly matches up with the era & I think that really underscores the wonderful pacing. Each of the “eras” is defined and gets you invested in each piece & also the overall story. Epic film.

This one was great. But remember Rats can’t be on top of the food chain on the Gangster life style. My favorite gangster movies are Hoffa(1992) The Departed, Dick Tracy(1990) and American Gangster(Denzel Washington).

[@dexterjankaren]

Another movie you might want to check out is Mean Streets. Its an early low budget masterpiece by Scorsese that is both his first gangster movie and his first movie with Deniro who frickin knocks it out of the park. This movie sets up the iconic collaboration between Deniro and Scorsese that is actually still going on today. And then of course theres Taxi Driver, which is not gangster so much but does show us the seedy underbelly of life on the streets with gangsterism in it.

[@FizzFop1]

After reading the book, I wondered why most of the book wasn't in the movie. The Air-France caper could have been a movie by itself.

[@edwardsighamony]

I know Scorsese gets pegged as a director of gangster movies, but out of 26 films only 6 are about gangsters. He's done a musical, comedies and documentaries. Unfortunately, if you only learn about movies from KZbin you'll only ever hear about his gangster movies. The Scorsese movies I'd recommend (besides Means Streets, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull) you check out are The King of Comedy, After Hours, The Age of Innocence and Kundun.

[@beatleblev]

If you want the lowdown on the real life versions on the characters in the movie look up: Paul Vario (Paul Sorvino), Jimmy Burke (Robert DeNiro), and Tommy DiSimone (Joe Pesci).

Jen "The Wheeze" Murray for a gangster name😂😂

[@resin_Hd]

As a lil piece of trivia, the tall guy with the beard in the “Shine box” scene is Vito Picone from the 50’s doo-wop group The Elegants , had their hit “Little Star.”

[@RoosterCogburn1008]

There are tons of Scorsese movies that are legendary. In particular, I'd recommend Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) for his earliest award winner, a drama starring the mom from The Exorcist, plus Silence (2016), a religious drama starring Andrew Garfield, and Gangs of New York (2002), which will give you a hard taste of Americanism lol. Further shout outs to Taxi Driver (1976) and The Departed (2006). If you become tempted to watch Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear (1991), please watch the original (1962) first!! It'd make for a great side by side comparison.

"Stax" was also the name of a record label that featured classic R&B acts

[@chrisleebowers]

"They really had different prison for gangsters?" That's part of why "don't snitch" was so effective - everyone *expected* to do some time and if you did they *took care* of you. First of all, you get big shot lawers that get you the best deal possible without snitching, and then inside, you got special treatment, protection, contraband, hookers for conjugal visits, if you were supporting a family working for them, they'd set your family up with a stipend until you got out; aside from the lousy scenery, it was kind of a vacation for them

Jenny Stacks is all about face validity…. A hero or tough guy needs to look the part… good shape with muscles and good abs… as Jenny once could have said “it’s not just about the steak, there needs to be lots of sizzle.”

I don't know if it's been posted already, but $420,000 in 1967 (the Air France heist) would be about $3.8 million today. The Lufthansa heist was $5.875 million in 1978, about $27.333 million today. Jimmy never got out of prison; he died of cancer in 1996.

[@chandlermorgan708]

10/10 In one word: perfection Needs to be seen to be believed; in one word: perfection. Every frame, every voice-over, every song - it all comes together at the exact right moment to create the perfect film experience. This film makes you really understand and feel what makes the American mafia so compelling; in the eyes of a kid, who was unfortunate enough to grow up in a tough neighborhood, those gangsters are rock stars. Live fast, die young - but when you die, it ain't gonna be of a glamorous suicide or drug overdose - the ending will be brutal, ugly and sad. And it may very well be one of your best friends that will blow your brains out. I'll never get tired of watching Goodfellas; the entertainment value of this film is just amazing. It doesn't happen very often that every person involved in the process of making a film is at the peak of his/her game. And rarely do art and entertainment come together the way they did here. Storytelling with impeccable pacing, this is what it's like when a master composer conducts his masterpiece. All hail the king; the most versatile and talented filmmaker of his generation: Martin Scorsese. My vote: 10 out of 10

Yes this is a true story. The book is more detailed and they embellished some stuff and changed the order of certain events for the movie. But it's basically true. The FBI agent at the end that put them in witness protection is the actual agent that did this case in real life, fun fact.

Scorsese said his most violent film was The Age of Innocence w/ Daniel Day Lewis, Winona Ryder, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Supporting role - Miriam Margolyes (she’s the greatest if you’re unfamiliar with her).

Jenny Stacks! Scorsese has very few misfires, and has quite a diverse filmography. And he has had the same editor for almost his entire career - Thelma Schoonmaker.
