goodfellas was hands down a great movie. but thats just what alot of it was a movie. there are things in the movie that never happend. and yes i know hollywood has to add this and that to make it flow like a good movie should but they took the life of a glorified errand boy and made him out to be one of the top wiseguys of that time. and the time it is set in was a time period of some of the most legendary wiseguys ever.
