Goodfellas (1990)
Martin Scorsese's Magnum Opus
Goodfellas in my opinion is the best mafia film of all time and it is definitely Martin Scorsese's best work so far. Goodfellas has a worldclass cast with the likes of Robert De Niro,Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta, who all put out an iconic performance in the film. The film is adapted from a book from Nicholas Pileggi's book titled 'Wiseguy' which keeps the viewer engaged by the books realism and memorable moments. The film is very gruesome at times but it has many comedic scenes to make up for that like the 'funny how' scene. Scorsese uses many different techniques in directing which makes the films very unique and captivating. The film definitely gets a lot of recognition and respect which is shown in its wins and nominations in different award ceremonies.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
One of the best films ever made
2007 was an outstanding year for cinema and There Will Be Blood is definitely the best film released in 2007 , in fact I think it it one of the greatest films of all time. The performances from Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the best performances in all of film shown by his outstanding commitment , intensity and passion for the role which gave him his second Academy Award for Best Actor. Paul Dano is also a superb supporting actor in this film. The film is very cinematic and beautiful with the cinematography done by the amazing Robert Elswit. The film's soundtrack is very good and it perfectly captures the atmospheric mood of each scene. This film is definitely Paul Thomas Anderson's magnum opus which is proven by the film's wins and nominations at the Oscars,Golden Globes and BAFTAs.
