I like that this was the film where we finally get to see Paul Sorvino as a badass. For 2 decades before, he was always cast as the “frustrated supervisor” type role. Usually, he was a police commissioner or a bureaucrat who had just had too much and was praying for just a few stress free days. Although, he did shine in the early 80s in the film adaptation of the play “That Championship Season.” That play was his passion project. He was in the Broadway cast, the film, and even directed the remake in the late 90s. Both versions of the film adaptation are awesome, btw.

Another movie you might want to check out is Mean Streets. Its an early low budget masterpiece by Scorsese that is both his first gangster movie and his first movie with Deniro who frickin knocks it out of the park. This movie sets up the iconic collaboration between Deniro and Scorsese that is actually still going on today. And then of course theres Taxi Driver, which is not gangster so much but does show us the seedy underbelly of life on the streets with gangsterism in it.

Unfortunately, if you only learn about movies from KZitem you'll only ever hear about his gangster movies.

10/10 In one word: perfection Needs to be seen to be believed; in one word: perfection. Every frame, every voice-over, every song - it all comes together at the exact right moment to create the perfect film experience. This film makes you really understand and feel what makes the American mafia so compelling; in the eyes of a kid, who was unfortunate enough to grow up in a tough neighborhood, those gangsters are rock stars. Live fast, die young - but when you die, it ain't gonna be of a glamorous suicide or drug overdose - the ending will be brutal, ugly and sad. And it may very well be one of your best friends that will blow your brains out. I'll never get tired of watching Goodfellas; the entertainment value of this film is just amazing. It doesn't happen very often that every person involved in the process of making a film is at the peak of his/her game. And rarely do art and entertainment come together the way they did here. Storytelling with impeccable pacing, this is what it's like when a master composer conducts his masterpiece. All hail the king; the most versatile and talented filmmaker of his generation: Martin Scorsese. My vote: 10 out of 10

He struggled with alcoholism and was often drunk when he was calling into Howard's show. You can find some of the clips here on KZitem.

Hi Jen, another gangster movie I highly recommend for you to react to is: The Untouchables (1987) set in 1930's Chicago and also starring Robert De Niro as the legendary gangster Al Capone & Kevin Costner as the Treasury agent Elliot Ness, who has sworn to bring him down. Sean Connery co-stars as an Irish cop who teams up with Ness. Please react to asap :)

Fun fact: Tommy's mom and the old lady in the grocery store in Casino were played by Scorsese's real life mother.

There are tons of Scorsese movies that are legendary. In particular, I'd recommend Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) for his earliest award winner, a drama starring the mom from The Exorcist, plus Silence (2016), a religious drama starring Andrew Garfield, and Gangs of New York (2002), which will give you a hard taste of Americanism lol. Further shout outs to Taxi Driver (1976) and The Departed (2006). If you become tempted to watch Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear (1991), please watch the original (1962) first!! It'd make for a great side by side comparison.

When I was a kid, my mom decided to go back to school to finish her degree. So on Tuesday and Thursday nights, Dad had us, so our Tuesday ritual was going to the local second-run dollar theater. It was a small 3-screen theater, and sometimes all the flicks would be R-rated. That was the situation the night he took me to see this. I remember on the drive home, he told me “Don’t tell your mother I let you watch this,” but I thought it was awesome. Even to this day, it’s one of my desert island top 5 flicks.

The scary thing about Tommy is that the real-life gangster he's based on was even more pyscho that in the film. Dude shot a random stranger on the street just to test out his new gun.

Henry eventually got kicked out of witness protection because he wouldn’t stop committing crimes. For whatever reason, the mob never came after him. He made some money off of his notoriety from this movie after he went public. He died a few years ago. Jimmy Burke (Conway in the film) died before he could be released from prison. If you read the book, you’ll see that Tommy is actually 2 or 3 real life characters combined into one, including one of Paulie’s own sons. The book is literal transcripts of interviews with Henry and Karen, and most of the narration from the film is lifted from their own real words.

This one was great. But remember Rats can’t be on top of the food chain on the Gangster life style. My favorite gangster movies are Hoffa(1992) The Departed, Dick Tracy(1990) and American Gangster(Denzel Washington).
