However, there is one example though that I just don't get: the people who watch Goodfellas and then say they want to live that life. WTF? The movie is like one long "don't become a gangster" public service announcement.
Agree, it deglamorized the mob life in a big way, especially for the bottom feeders. Also, the "Kiss of Death" film 1947 with Tommy Udo is a perfect example. I remember reading about colleges around the country setting up Tommy Udo fan clubs. There was nothing likable about the character.
