But Goodfellas had a proper director, proper co-stars (De Niro, Bracco), a proper budget and a proper production team. And it may have taken artistic licence, but it didn't glorify criminals and it wasn't a tacky love letter to the people it was based on.

And the Goodfellas production didn't renege on a contract with Pesci in order to drum up publicity for their shitty movie.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
