Goodfellas - 1990

Now this was a great movie. The acting is great, the story is great, the filming is great. The music is very good all through out.
This movie starts in the 50's in New York with a kid who wants to be a gangster. They can do anything they want, go anywhere they want and have anything they they want. The only trick is that they must follow the rules of the mob. This leads to many of the complications in the latter parts of the story.
The story says that it's based on a true story. This is movie lingo for 'we've made this up but parts of it resemble reality'. But the movie has the ring of authenticity. It's easy to get pulled in to what's happening to the main trio. Even if many of the scenes have that eerie 'someone's about to get it vibe'. Maybe especially because of that.
A great movie.

Uh, let's see 1998, I should get to it in October or November. And my guess is that it'll stand up fine.
