It is 25 years since the release of
Goodfellas.
After "The Godfather" and the romanticizing of gangsters, "Goodfellas show them to be what they really are:violent murderous guys who kill at the drop of a hat, who shoot people in the leg just to make them dance for fun."
Better than "The Godfather"?
