Warner Bros. | 1990 | 145 min | Rated R | Jan 16, 2007

From Nicholas Pileggi's true-life bestseller Wiseguy, GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie. Directed and co-written by Martin Scorsese, it was judged 1990's Best Picture by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics and named to the American Film Institute's Top-100 American Film List. Electrifying performances abound, and from a standout cast that includes Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino. Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. It "bristles with passion, wit and style" and endures as "an American classic" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone).

Special Features

Die-hard fans of Scorcese and his gangster classic will find no new content that isn't on the DVD version GoodFellas. Moreover, this now-familiar material is not in high definition. In those respects, the supplementary material is a let-down. But it shouldn't be, because the three documentaries, two commentaries and a storyboard to screen comparison all provide significant insight into the film.

One of the documentaries, "Getting Made", is worthwhile. Clocking in at nearly half an hour, "Getting Made" provides detailed interviews with Scorcese, De Niro and Pesci. Newer material with Liotta and Bracco is also included. The other two documentaries are not as interesting. The eight-minute "The Workaday Gangster" covers the central theme of the movie, but the subject is covered in far more detail in the commentary. "Made Men: The GoodFellas Legacy" attempts to place the Scorcese classic in its proper historical context and praise its vast influence on a generation of filmmakers.

The commentaries provide the bulk of relevant info, with input from Scorsese, Liotta, Bracco, Paul Sorvino, Frank Vincent, writer Nicholas Pileggi, producers Irwin Winkler and Barbara De Fina, cinematographer Michael Ballhaus and editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who went to film school with Scorcese. Another commentary, "Cop and Crook", features the real-life Henry Hill and former FBI agent Edward McDonald. Compared to the film, this is actually fairly boring, but it is important to understand that what is being packaged as entertainment by Warner is actually a dangerous lifestyle of organized crime.
