This movie ruined all other movies for me as nothing can ever come close to matching it's brilliance.
Fuck.
It's perfect.

Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore.
Why is Goodfellas considered one of the best films ever made? (self.TrueFilm)
submitted 1 year ago by consuela_concarne
I've seen Goodfellas three times now (admittedly it's been a while since my last viewing and don't remember much) and still I've failed to see why it's supposed to be so great.
I mean it does tell the story of a gangster in an engaging way to the point that it has been emulated in nearly every other gangster-type film. However, what else does Goodfella offer other than an entertaining story and a famous long take (I'm sure there are other iconic scenes, but I can't remember any)? The film seems to be lacking visually, there is no space for you to think where you have to absorb the scenario to get a deeper understanding of the situation or something to that extent, it's all very straightforward.
I have next to zero knowledge in film theory, so please help me understand why Goodfellas is considered to be one of the greatest films.

kek, knew it had to have a reply like this in here.
It's a good movie, even if it has an idiot or poser fanbase. That doesn't detract from a work's quality.
>>70452035
Overrated. Not even the best gangster film.
Pic related is MUCH better

Mah nigga
Better than the godfather too.

Please, if anything is overrated it's that. I swear people over compensate with their praise because of it's release history and length, like just existing makes it a masterpiece.

Dago confirmed
same here, I always keep coming back to it, every fucking scene and shot are perfect, it's so entertaining it hurts
I love Goodfellas and really, really like Casino
Is Sopranos worth watching?
It seems kind of too dark
>>70453163
nope, it's boring as fuck, it's like a soap opera disguised as a "mafia show", dropped it on the 1st season, just too fucking boring

That's what I feared, thanks senpai

Absolute mobkino. The only one that comes close is The Godfather Part II. OUATIA is still the greatest, though.
Every modern gangster film is a Goodfellas wannabe and they never come close.
