Product Description

When Martin Scorsese one of the world's most skillful and respected directors reunited with two-time Oscar-winner Robert De Niro in GoodFellas the result was one of the most powerful films of the year. Based on the true-life best seller Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack critics and filmgoers alike declared GoodFellas great. It was named 1990's best film by the New York Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. And it earned six Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway. And as the volatile Tommy DeVito Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Academy Award nominee Lorraine Bracco Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. You have to see it to believe it - then watch it again. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 085391163121 Manufacturer No: 116312

Good Gangster Movie - Reviewed on 2008-09-20

Robert De Niro is one of my favorite actors and I especially like him in anything criminal. He's so cool in this movie. It's an excellent DVD whether or not you like De Niro.
Fantastic movie, crummy DVD - Reviewed on 2008-08-08

This particular item is, unfortunately, one of those early DVDs that you have to flip over halfway through the movie, which is the pits. I thought I did my research thoroughly enough to avoid that, because I was certainly aware that this annoying product was out there, and I really wanted to avoid it.

But no such luck. My advice--look very carefully before you buy to make sure you get a good quality MODERN DVD. It turned viewing one of my favorite movies into an irritating exercise.

Goodfellas is one of the best of its genre. Based on facts, it is violent and graphic, with excellent acting throughout. At times, the storyline becomes muddled with too many characters, but it's still entertaining. Definitely NOT for children; the language is excessively (and unnecessarily) obscene.
