Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: One of the best mobster movies Comment: Great cast, one of the best mobster movies ever made. Would reccommend this for every one. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Mob Movie Made - Ever! Comment: The quintessential New York City mob film, in a class by itself, my only five-star review to date (and I'd give it more if I could). Based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, Martin Scorsese's brilliant masterpiece introduces us to Henry Hill, as enacted by Ray Liotta, a disarming, likeable sort who can never be initiated into the Mafia because he's only half Italian (his father is Irish). Nevertheless, the "boys" who hang out at the neighborhood cabstand have taken a liking to him and use him to run various errands. As he grows older, Henry forms a close association with Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and the violent, trigger-happy Tommy De Vito (played to the hilt by a terrifying Joe Pesci). This film has the audience in its grip beginning with the opening sequence and doesn't let go until it ends almost three hours later. Frank Vincent has a brief but memorable role as the ill-fated Billy Batts, and all of the supporting characters come across quite credibly. In my opinion, the only weak point in this film (if you can even call it that) was the casting of Paul Sorvino as the local mob boss. I felt he brought very little to his role. A much better choice (again, in my opinion) would have been someone like Robert Loggia. De Niro's performance is flawless, as usual, and Pesci dominates every scene he's in (he won a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor). "GoodFellas" was released in December, 1990, nearly eighteen years ago, and, as far as I'm concerned, there isn't a single movie produced before or since which even begins to approach its cinematic perfection. Customer Rating: Summary: What a difference Comment: The Blu-ray really enhances the picture quality of the movie. I bought it primarily to see if the blu-ray was worth it on older movies, and I believe it is. Customer Rating: Summary: THE BEST IN THIS GENRE Comment: This is the best of the best films in the contemporary gangster/Mafioso genre. I have watched it so many times that I think the FBI has put hidden cameras in my house and wiretapped my phones. Henry Hill WISHES that he looked as good as the young Ray Liotta. It's hard to watch Lorraine Bracco as the serious, but slightly neurotic, Dr. Jennifer Melfi on "The Sopranos" after repeatedly watching her flush tens of thousands of coke down the toilet. But the real star in this film is the psychotic Joe Pesci. There was no way of predicting what would set him off. I'm not going to give the surprises away here but, no matter how many times I watch the movie, I still get sucked in!! Customer Rating: Summary: The Ultimate Mob Movie!! Comment: This is one of my favorite mob movies of all-time. The acting is great, as well as the direction. Martin Scorsece is a genius! As for the blu-ray release of this movie, I find that the picture and sound have greatly improved from the DVD version. It's also nice to not have to flip the disc over to finish watching the movie. I would definitely recommend this release to any new or old fans of the movie. Enjoy! More Reviews

And it earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performanceas veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway.
