Huzzah! Finally it gets the recognition that it deserves!

I loathe all those lists that place 'Godfather II' at number one; quite simply, Goodfellas is one of the greatest movies ever made IMHO. Great seeing 'Fight Club' in the Top 5 as well

goodfellas is a great movie but i still think godfather II is the best ever

Personally i would rate goodfellas top...

"As far back as i can remember, i always wanted to be a gangster"

Great great opening line!

I love Goodfellas, it's a fantastic film but even just talking about gangster films it wouldn't beat Scarface IMO, let alone all the other great films of other genres.

Great film, Great cast, Great director. Enough for it to be top of the list. Not a great fan of the rest of the top 10 though but then again I like a very wide selection of films
