| modern gangster flicks...Goodfellas.... |
|
I think this has to be one of the best gangster flicks out there.
I grew up in a Chicago neighborhood in the 1960s that was alot like the world depicted in Goodfellas, and I think this movie really rings true.....

| 7. read the book it was based on... |
|
Wiseguy. by Nicholas Pileggi
it's a good read, and i was happy when they made the movie.
also- if you haven't seen Casino, you gotta see that one too- it even has a chicago connection, with joe pesci playing a character based on one of the spilotro bros.

| 9. Casino is also very good |
|
Scorsese just knows how to make ganster films.
Sharon Stone was actually rather good in Casino.

| 11. When the hell is Scorsese going to win the Oscar |
|
It's about fucking time he wins. He could direct two leaves blowing in the wind and it'll still be a masterpiece.

Terrific, terrific film based on Chazz Palminteiri's (sp?) autobiographical play.
