Gangsters never refer to themselves as gangsters. They are made-men, wiseguys or Goodfellas. Martin Scorsese exposes the fascinating, mysterious and violent underworld of New York’s Mafia families through the life of insider Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) as he rises from smalltime thug to mobster under the guidance of Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) in this searing, epic crime drama based on the chilling true-life best seller Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi.
“Complex, volatile, ironic and disquieting, Scorsese’s Goodfellas is a masterly achievement in intense observation.”
—Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Goodfellas (1990) is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. Among other accolades, it earned Scorsese Best Director at the Venice Film Festival and garnered six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, with Joe Pesci winning for Best Supporting Actor.
