This is my Nineties Friday blog for 1/9/26, and today I’m writing about Goodfellas (1990). When people talk about the greatest films ever made, this movie isn’t a debate point, it’s a benchmark. Released in 1990, Goodfellas didn’t just define gangster films for the decade, it set a standard that most movies still can’t touch. The film follows Henry Hill’s rise and fall inside the Italian American mob, starting as a…More

My wife is Italian, from Sicily. Syracuse to be exact. Apparently she has extended family that are "in the life" but she doesn't know any of them, and has never met them. But that hasn't stopped me asking her loads of questions about it. I am fascinated by organized crime. Ever since I saw the film Casino, I've been on the rampage to watch as many gangster films from the old life as I possibly can. I must have seen…More
After watching the 1990 movie Goodfellas, if I were to summarize the movie in one sentence, I would say that it is a production that focuses on the passions of the young Henry Hill character. source Ray Liotta, who gives life to the character of Henry Hill, who adds value to the movie with both his narration and acting, does an excellent job. Of course, the contributions of a master like Robert De Niro, who plays Ji…More

The good guys in the mob. Hello dear friends of the cinephile community, today I return to share with you my impressions of one of those unforgettable classics of cinema, one on the favorite theme of many and that is revived by great actors, in the midst of a special story of simple things , made by characters taken from real life; this makes it a more interesting and unforgettable production. I am referring to the…More
I've always enjoyed the crime genre, but never really been all that invested in the gangster and mob subgenre. Or really been much of a fan of Scorsese's films for that matter. I've found many entries, as well as from Scorsese, to be quite similar and almost repetitive, particularly ones that are centred around New York City crime syndicates. I've often found that such films don't have much leverage to propel themse…More

Goodfellas, despite being a 30-year-old film, will go down as one of the most iconic movies of all time in American history of cinema. Now, this movie is based on actual events. In the 1950s, the USA was infested with the mafia and organized crime families. They were so large by then that even in the '50s, their crime was causing tangible losses in Billions. As a criminologist, I have a little bit of extra insight i…More
The most common (and in many cases the only) complaint against Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece *The Godfather* is glamorising of Mafia, which is presented as an institution guided by ancient tradition and virtues like honour, loyalty and solidarity more suitable for some gentler, kinder ages. Martin Scorsese, another Italoamerican moviemaker, confronted that perspective with his own, more down-to earth visio…More
