Goodfellas - #15

This was the first of three movies I watched yesterday.

IMDB rating: 8.7
My rating: 9

Goodfellas was a gangster movie. I don't really know what else to say about it.

The biggest thing that set it apart from others in the genre was the storytelling. The frequent voice overs made this movie very enjoyable to watch. It wasn't as cryptic as The Godfather and didn't make you think a lot. Goodfellas might have been easier to watch than The Godfather, but I don't think the two movies are quite at the same level.

Martin Scorsese directed this, along with several others on the IMDB top movies list (#199 Casino, #74 Raging Bull, #49 The Departed, and #37 Taxi Driver). The only other one of these movies I've seen is The Departed and I loved it. According to IMDB, he has 4 movies coming out by 2010. I'll probably give these a shot when they come out.
