Goodfellas

Sopranos and goodfellas, are two completely different things, Sopranos is much more deeper than a mob movie, goodfellas is an out and out mob movie, money, drugs, rise and fall etc, both brilliant in their own ways.

I personally don't think GF is dated, captures the period perfectly.
 
Also i think what makes this film is that it has a great supporting cast which dont get the recognition they deserve like Lorraine Bracco (Karen),Frank Sivero (Frankie Carbone) etc.... Another point to mention is that when ever it comes on tv. it drawns you in and you end up watching until the end.
 
Awesome to the very end. My sister loved it and she hates violence in films and she's 13-years-old! That's what makes it such a great film. Even people that aren't particularly 'gangster film' lovers can still like this film based on a) the fantastic acting and actors b) the gripping storyline, and c) the sheer coolness/suaveness/smoothness of the entire film.

One of my all-time favourites and possibly the most addictive film to watch ever.
 
One of my all time favourite films. The acting in this film is superb. I must have seen it at least 10 times, I make a point of not watching it now so I dont get fed up with it!
 
Great film and great soundtrack, especially Harry Nilsson's Jump into the Fire bit where Harry is doing the drug run and the chopper is chasing him.
 
Ah! His short with Nick Nolte as the artist in "New York Stories" is one of his forgotten masterpieces.

King of Comedy has great moments. Most of them to do with Sandra Bernhard. When she was sitting on Jerry's lap and singing seductively to him!!! :o :D Oh, the marriage proposal was in the post!
 
well that's the point isn't it - he had everything and ended up with nothing

I think it's a great ending - it's the contrast, truly brilliant
 
The King of Comedy is a fine film but for me Scorces's best 2 (the ones which should have got the Best Film Oscar's are Raging Bull and Goodfellas.

Goodfellas stanRAB out for the strength of the story and the quality of the acting, especially from the three leaRAB.
 
Goodfellas is a brilliant movie - It was done nearly 20 years ago for the unconvinced out there! It really captures the mood of the times, the acting is brilliant and the music really sets the scene. Ray Liotta was superb and has never really done a better film than this. I quite like watching the Sopranos and seeing which ex Goodfella is going to turn up next. IMO I think that the Soprano's is just as good but the creator must have been inspired by Goodfella's! ;)
 
I hate doing this because it is so gay :) but I have to *bump* that. I watch Sopranos and I am looking forward to seeing Ray Liotta turn up. Or has he and I've missed it?
 
What? For what it's worth I watch sopranos and I was referring to supporting characters of course - what does the "bump" mean? some people on these forums get their knickers in a twist over the stupidist quotes! :eek:
