Goodfellas

Goodfellas (1990) is an old style gangster movie with wonderful actors and lots of violence, fancy suits and swearing. The movie is based on a book written by Nicholas Pileggi, who started his career as a journalist specially interested of mafia. Characters are based on real people and it is said that actors had real life mafia guys helping out with scenes all the time during filming. Many of the scenes were improvised and the movie itself seems easy going, perhaps because of real expressions of surprise or anger while filming. Goodfellas is number 17 at Imdbs list. ****/*****
