Goodfellas
Overview
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." Henry Hill gets his wish and then some, rising through the Lucchese crew in Scorsese's funniest, scariest crime film. Pesci's Tommy is equal parts hilarious and horrifying, and the Copacabana one-shot remains pure cinema. The final stretch — Hill wired, paranoid, unraveling — is as tense as anything Scorsese ever shot. Essential viewing, full stop.
