Goodfellas is unbelievably good. Joe Pesci's performance in this film is as good as any I have ever seen. The first time I seen the "Why I am I so funny?" scene, I was on the edge of my seat. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is that is is the antithesis of the Godfather, showing the mafia at a lower level, the tracksuit and blowdried hair level, as oppossed to the top.
