Goodfellas (1990)

Director: Martin Scorsese
Writers:  Nicholas Pileggi, Martin Scorsese
Cast:      Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci 
Its the story of Henry Hill and his friends working their way up through the mob hierarchy. Its an adaptation of Pileggi non fiction book 'Wiseguy'.

One of the best mob film of all time, Goodfellas, sits somewhere between Godfather and City of God in terms of the glamorization of the lifestyle. The characters are great the narration style is excellent. There are some great single tracking shots and the story moves really  fast.

Rating: 5/5
