Leave your thoughts about GoodFellas.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleNo so-called serious gangster film has ever been more fun, or less dangerous, or more intrinsically feminist, than GoodFellas. Even "I Married the Mob" was scarier. |
| The Blu SpotJeff BeckEven after 25 years, Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas remains the very apex of mobster cinema. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheila BensonGoodFellas, which somehow mixes its horrors with a deep vein of mordant humor, flows with the exuberance of a filmmaker who has every detail nailed and a few new lovely moves he wants to show us. |
| Total FilmPhilip KempScorsese's best film? Difficult to call, though if it doesn't beat Raging Bull, it runs it a close second. |
| Reel.comSarah ChaunceyOne of the most perfect movies ever made. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealA drama that injects your adrenal glands with the thrill of living from score to score and walking the streets with limitless power. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyThat Martin Scorsese's brilliant GoodFellas lost the 1990 Best Picture and Best Director Oscars to Dances with Wolves is one of the all-time miscarriages of justice in the history of the Academy Awards. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJoBloThe best gangster movie of all-time and easily, one of the best overall flicks ever. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattIt was so well made that it still works today. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyGoodfellas looks and sounds as if it must be absolutely authentic. |
