P.S My disappointment cannot be put in words. The long awaited Goodfellas SE does not have any
Deleted Scenes . Everyone is aware of the fact that a longer version exists. I will have to re-consider buying this. Yes the commentaries are tempting, but I won't be surprised to see another edition re-released in near future. Like Gangs of New York.
