Who’S It For?
My wife hasn’t seen Mean Streets, The Untouchables, Goodfellas or Heat. So while I would normally say this is the perfect gift for guys on Father’s Day, it’s really perfect for my wife. These are movies that must be seen by every adult. Not only to they showcase how the ugly side of society has evolved, but it’s also the evolution of gangster crime. Every one of these films is brilliant, and yes, I’m including The Departed. Jack Nicholson’s performance has someone gotten a bad rap. I’m convinced if it wasn’t for Martin Scorsese zooming in on the rat at the very end, everyone would still worship this film.

Chicago – Very, very few movies are as immensely rewatchable as Martin Scorsese’s masterful “GoodFellas,” now released on Blu-ray in a twentieth anniversary edition timed to coincide with the theatrical release of “Shutter Island” this Friday. One of the most influential films of the ’90s is one of those rare works that has lost absolutely none of its power.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
Can you believe it’s been twenty years since “GoodFellas”? Jon Favreau says it best in one of the special features about the influence of the film on the new Blu-ray release: when you stumble across arguably Scorsese’s best work on cable, it’s almost impossible not to watch the rest of it in its entirety. More than arguably any other film from its era, “GoodFellas” looks like it could have come out in 2010. It’s timeless.
GoodFellas: 20th Anniversary Edition was released on Blu-ray on February 16th,...

Has it really been 20 years since GoodFellas? Wow. Just think: Sam Jackson played Stacks in that film for a fleeting moment, and has appeared in 108 productions since. I'm not sure where I'd rank it all time, but GoodFellas is in the upper tier. In terms of crime films/mob movies, I don't think you can have a reputable top five list that excludes it. It's Scorsese at the peak of his powers, vintage De Niro, the perfect role for Joe Pesci, and somehow, an overlooked tour de force by Ray Liotta. And I haven't even mentioned "Layla" yet.
Warner Home Video will unveil the 20th Anniversary Blu-ray on February 16th. A cast and crew commentary is among the highlighted features. You'll also get a Henry Hill commentary, which features a former FBI agent, and three featurettes - Getting Made, Made Men: The GoodFellas Legacy, and The Workaday Gangster. On top of that,...
