I'm looking at you, Disney songs. Anyways, Goodfellas is a classic by this point and if you haven't seen it, then go get it. There's a reason people love it."

Well, The Godfather was really a good gangster movie, but then the Goodfellas showed the life of an organized crime, which was new to me. Bravo to the direction and the outstanding performance of the actors. "
