Tootie passed away too

@@vet-7174 Damn! That's Frank DiLeo. I wasn't aware. R.I.P. to him too. Thanks for telling me.

How could you forget Frank Vincent aka Billy Batts? You gettin’ too big on me??

@@rayc8191 Dude! Yes, Frank Vincent too. Damn, I'm forgetting all my Goodfellas/Casino/Sopranos icons!! Thanks for the reminder.

Paul Herman Beansie in the Sopranos and Henry's Pittsburgh connection

I agree my friend

It's my favorite line

Very true, Rene. Amen to that. 🙏🏻 👍🎥

My wife and I were having a conversation the other week about the fact that in the last 10 to 15 years there are no movies that have or will be considered classics in the future. We thought maybe The Dark Knight but that was all we could come up with. Then we went to 20 years and older and immediately started naming dozens of movies. 1975 to 2000 produced the greatest movies ever.

@@stinkyham9050 Great exercise! Yep. It’s sad.

@@mikenewyork Jaws, Stars Wars, Indiana Jones, Godfather 1 & 2, Top Gun, Glengarry Glenross, Predator, Alien, Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2, Goodfellas, Rambo, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart. You see what I mean, I'm not even trying.

@@stinkyham9050 I see EXACTLY what you mean. 😄

I got a little tired, maybe it was all the pasta.

That’s exactly what you dub as timeless

I watched it a million times and I never got tired of it

The movie is so well-paced. With this scene, it's relaxed and easy, and really conveys a sense of tranquility and serenity. Then compare it to the scene where Henry is coked up and running around, and it's almost suffocating with the quick cuts and close up shots. Scorsese is so good at using all aspects of the movie, not just the script, to tell a story.

I think it has a lot to do with the enthusiasm that Ray Liotta delivered his lines

Just watched it last night for the umpteenth time.😂

It was the first Mafia movie I watched. I checked out a VHS tape from the library back in 1993 when I was 19. Just wow.

Goodfellas? Fuhgeddaboudit

And don't forget that in this movie we can also see Loraine Bracco (the Tony Soprano's psychologist) performing as the Ray Liotta's wife, such as Michael Imperioli (Tony Soprano's nephew) as the employee who is shot and killed by Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci).

@@nastypiglosi1788 your handle name is hilarious. Literally made me laugh out loud! Glad you were inspired by this movie too. I was 12 in 1995, just seen Casino and someone told me to watch Goodfellas. One of the best movies in my opinion

And paulie still standing there at his door watching them adds to the comedy.

he bums a nickel off the kid and the kid being so wrapped around his finger reminds him not to get his feet wet while running and holding the umbrella for him hahahahah

It’s an amazing film. In my top 5 for sure.

I still can't believe ray is gone. Can't believe it.

Nah... It'll never be as good as Godfather 3.

Legends all of them

. I can't believe that ray is gone

Now we got superheroes shit, bad remakes, bad sequels.......

​@@stiwy7376 bad movies

@@stiwy7376You should look into things other than American movies then

No, that's Scorsese

Yep . One of the greatest mob films ever made , and with a wonderful music sound track , and narration .

Its literally a perfect movie. I watched this movie my whole life. And im gonna keep watching it. And it gets better every time.

Lmfaooo

4:00 mark I wonder if Anthony Gennaro Sirico Jr. (Tony) is talking about getting his laces wet in the Men's bathroom? 🚽 😂😂😂

Louis Brazi sleeps with the fishes..

"Three thousand dollars...for a LIFE." Well...he WARNED the Idiot! He's lucky he didn't get whacked right then and there!

3200 bucks. 3200 bucks for a lifetime

@@slydEvil35 Didn't even have enough for the coffin. Their deaths make this line darker.

Love this line. I say it to mom every time I bring her cash lol

@@Diiimonds4Evr love it!

Through his veil of tears?!?

Mira Sorvino absolutely beautiful !

I can relate. Wyona & Fulton St.

I was fortunate to live in Italy for almost 2 years In a little fishing village by the town called fogia

Same. He spoke volumes without having to say anything. They all just stfu 🤣

Well said. 👍

Me too, you read my mind.

They're actors. These are movie entertainment. They don't know you.

@@junkboxxxxxx So? That doesn't mean you can't appreciate and admire them.

Dinero is next for the crem

I watched The Warriors at the age of 9. I thought the gang life was the way of life when I got older.

That is pure truth!!!

​@@gjhazard❤👍100%

The way you refer to this scene...I'm just sayin'... The way you refer to this scene...I'm just sayin'...

I’m gonna get the papers…get the papers

Awesome! 👍🙏🏻🎥

And RIP Paul Sorvino

When did he die?

@@sammyandoliver7522 Couple of days ago.

@@mikenewyork Thanks for replying. That's sad.

Both of them had to find "The look" in the mirror, and the demeanor too. You can hear the difference in Gandolfini from S1 to S2

I can't imagine anybody playing the part of Paulie better than Sorvino. He totally nailed the scene where he talks to Henry after he gets out of prison. The little slap in the face at the end was totally ad-libed but it fit so well that Scorsese kept it in.

@@albundy6008 Its amazing that Paul Sorvino is the exact opposite as a person as this character. It really took him a while sbd just a scary look in the mirror for him to capture the essence of "Paulie"

Yeah, Paulie had to get that "look" down and he mentioned how it scared him. Sorvino was a gentle guy in rl.

😂

I like that type of transition.

James Caan

The way they ate & how they got special treatment ALMOST made me wish I was in prison with 'em... ALMOST!

He cut it so thin, it would liquefy in the pan.

1990 most certainly does not feel like “last week.” Lmao!

Funny how Frank Vincent gets whacked by Pesci in one film and then Vincent returns the favor a few years later.

@@jackfitzpatrick8173 they get revenge on each other in every movie they are in together

Tony sirico may have only had a small part in this film... But he would have a much larger role in the HBO TV series The Sopranos. As Peter Paul Gualtieri, but you know him better as Paulie Walnuts.

😂

someone watched it on BBC2 last night. I did the same lol.

@@ThomasWilliams89 🤣

And now he’s no longer with us

Police department for wise guys!

Agreed! 👍🎥

@@mikedevo363 😄

Amen- Philly had it too

Thanks, Juan. So true! 😊👍🎥

Thanks, Muscle Bike. Yes, great time for all of us to see it in the movies then, and it’s still shared by everybody around the world and is truly a classic. 👍😊🎥

What a time to be alive, be alive 😭

And certainly interesting to grow up in the area near the hub of it all - running into a lot of these guys and hearing stories.

@isitsafe 😂 Sorry! I fixed it. 😄👍

I was just seven years old when this was released in 1990....I'm 40 years old this year.....

the casting of young henry is perfect

The Godfather I & II were way superior to Goodfellas. I'm not saying Goodfellas is a bad film. On the contrary it's a great film. However, compared to the first two Godfather films and the Sopranos series, it has lost its lustre. Yes, Scorcese did a great job stylising the life of Henry Hill. However its that stylising that makes a great film but unfortunately, detracts from the real Henry Hill and the genuine life in the Nafia. It is not fun or glamorous. Your broke most of the time and live in absolute fear and dread 90 per cent of the time as you don't know when you will be murdered by your so-called 'friends.' Scorcrse gives us a glimpse of this at the end of Goodfellas. If you read the book written by Henry Hill's children, you will never view Goodfellas again with such fondness. Hill was a low life who treated his wife, and subsequently, his children like dirt. Hill only cared about himself. Even when in the FBI's Witness Protection program, Henry Hill jeopardised their lives. Hill would call New York and try and organise, for example, ecstasy deals in the middle of nowhere, i.e., some nameless town in Nebraska. Hill and his family came close to being killed on at least two occasions. On one occasion, the FBI got them out about 20 minutes before the hit men arrived. Hill was so drunk that he couldn't even remember calling New York and betraying his whereabouts. His wife found out that they had been kicked out of Witness Protection as the film Goodfellas was doing the rounds of the world wide cinemas.

@@FrostedSeagull thanks for the background. I guess no surprise Hill was a low life.

Yes! 😊 ⚡️

Yes

At the :25 mark if anyone needed a reference.

Never saw that lol

Just one more reason why Scorsese is one of the top 3 directors of all time.

😂

Hands down! 👍

Times change and generations grow old. I don’t think it’s a lack of quality actors, but this era was a long time ago. You can’t expect a new crop of actors who grew up in neighborhoods like this. When Goodfellas came out, 1955 was 35 years ago. Today, 35 years ago is 1988. New eras, new stories, and so on and so on.
