Film Appreciation Night: GoodFellas

Considered one of the best films of the 90s, one of the best films about gangsters, and one of the best films of a great director’s career, Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas is an exhilarating and terrifying look into the life of a mobster who wants out before he ends up dead. Scorsese’s film interweaves brilliant technique and breathless storytelling with tremendous performances by its leads (Liotta, Bracco, DeNiro, Pesci, Sorvino) and many recognizable faces in smaller roles (including many who’d go on to big careers, such as Samuel L. Jackson, and many, many others who’d appear on The Sopranos). Always gripping,
