F**k You! You Mother F***er You Son of a B****...... uh, you get the idea.....

Let me just say:  Goodfellas.  Kick.  Ass!!!!!  I have seen this film many, many times and it never ceases to disappoint.  The unbeatable combination of Liotta, DeNiro, and Pesci is pure movie gold.  They are without a doubt the most believable mobsters to ever grace the silver screen.  They are gritty and frightening and refuse to take anyone's BS.  Needless to say these are men that no one would want to get in the way of, especially crazy wild card Tommy DeVito who will 'whack' anyone who crosses him without hesitation.


Scorcese did a fantastic job of juxtaposing the glamorous side of the gangster life with the horrendous.  One minute Liotta and his wife are getting star treatment at the local Copacabana show, the next Liotta, Pesci, and DeNiro are inserting a shovel into a man's face.  That's normal........   right?  Not so much for the average citizen but for a New York gangster?  Anything is possible, no matter how gruesome or highly illegal.


Also, has anyone ever noticed how awfully fake and obnoxious Ray Liotta's laugh is????  You will now.......
