94. Goodfellas (1990)



It's hard not to like this movie. It's almost like 3 movies in one, and it's pretty long. I'd seen it before, but I didn't really remember it. I must have mixed it up with Casino, because I kept feeling like they were going to go to Vegas. Oh well.

Sometimes it's funny watching gangster movies, because there always seems to be the same Italian actors in them... what, are there only 20 Italian guys in all of Hollywood?

This movie was good, it was directed by Martin Scorsese, and starred Ray Liotta, Robert DiNero, Joe Pesci, and Paul Sorvino. Every scene felt well thought-out and nicely done. There was this really great scene that is famous for being one long take, which is hardly ever done, and it's the scene when he goes on his first real date with Lorraine Bracco. The scene goes from when they get out of the car, go into the club, through the kitchen, down to the stage of the club, and to the concert - it's a great shot.

This is one movie where I definitely agree with it being on the list!
