Joe Pesci created one of the scariest characters in movie history with this film. There are scenes that he is in that still send chills down my spine, even though I know what's going to happen.

It's good, but probably the most overrated film of all time. I have no idea why this is considered such a masterpiece on the same level as Taxi Driver.

The best film about organized crime ever made. Violent, funny and honest. Captivating drama from start to finish. The editing and direction are excellent. Joe Pesci gives the performance of his career. De Niro, Liotta and the rest of the cast are flawless.

You simply can not like mob films or and good film making in general and not highly regard this film. I personally like it more than the god father.

Amazing cinematography, awesome and unique characters, amazing performances from everyone in the cast, excellent story structure and dialogue, and just so much craziness and fun that it's impossible to not lose yourself in this masterpiece of a story. The greatest and more realistic depiction of gang life ever put on the screen

Arguably one of the best movies of all time. The performances, the cinematography, the direction, all of that were amazing. Watching Goodfellas is kind of like being at a party with your friends.
