Amazon.com essential video
Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece iGoodFellas/i immortalizes the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program. The director's kinetic style is perfect for recounting Hill's ruthless rise to power in the 1950s as well as his drugged-out fall in the late 1970s; in fact, no one has ever rendered the mental dislocation of cocaine better than Scorsese. Scorsese uses period music perfectly, not just to summon a particular time but to set a precise mood. IGoodFellas/I is at least as good as IThe Godfather/I without being in the least derivative of it. Joe Pesci's psycho improvisation of Mobster Tommy DeVito ignited Pesci as a star, Lorraine Bracco scores the performance of her life as Hill's love interest, and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a miracle.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome movie!   December 14, 2008
I've seen this movie several times, but now that I have it on Blu-Ray, it's like watching it for the first time all over again. Shipped for free and arrived ahead of schedule. Amazon is my new favorite store!


2 out of 5 stars A classic...Something wrong with the Blu-ray disc transfer.   December 12, 2008
One of Martin Scorsese's best films. There is a flaw on the disc itself. There is a line running down the screen on chapter 27. The Robert DeNiro scene with Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino. Same problem on two discs. This may be a transfer process issue. Great movie, bad BD copies.


1 out of 5 stars F this, F that.   December 6, 2008

Goodfellas could've been a great Scorsese film but after 30 minutes I couldn't stand all the swearing. The violence I can handle but every other word these mobsters say is the F word. Ok I understand that's how these guys talk but jeez don't they know any other words, apparently not! I prefer Raging Bull or The Aviator instead.


3 out of 5 stars NEEDS REMASTERING. FILM: Wonderful. Transfer: Not so much...   December 2, 2008
  5 out of 6 found this review helpful

The transfer of this film appears to be the same MPEG transfer as the one used for the DVD version. It DOES NOT appear to be a new 1080p 4k re-mastering of the film. This is not to say that it doesn't look much better in Blu-Ray than it does on DVD. But it is not, evidently, a brand new 1080p 4k transfer made expressly for Blu-Ray release. This can cause some problems, depending on your display system and settings. You may have to select a different input palette or profile on your display, or adjust your settings. br /br /If your system is setup to show Blu-Ray films using the "Cinema" and "Movie" profile of your display, which assumes a low contrast, subdued display of a wide range source that takes full advantage of the display's capabilities, then this film may look washed out, have milky blacks and generally be displeasing. You may have to select a "Standard" profile, with a narrower contrast band, higher gamma and so forth, to bring the film back into the range for which it was originally transferred. Doing so with this film yields remarkable results, it suddenly "snaps to" and produces the sort of effect you were after with a Blu-Ray disc. br /br /As happened in past generations of video standards, VHS to LaserDisc, LaserDisc to DVD, standard definition 480i to "high def" 1080i, and now 480p progressive scan DVD to 1080p Blu-Ray, the studios are cutting corners and, with some titles, re-issuing transfers that were "pretty good" for the prior standard on newer media without re-mastering them for the full potential of the newer media. br /br /Many, if not most, of the Blu-Ray discs I have seen have been remastered at the highest levels with all the capability of Blu-Ray in mind. If you have a 1080p display, and have properly adjusted and configured it, then you are probably in video and film heaven.br /br /Sadly, some major film titles are being "shoved out there" with just their old 1080 MPEG transfers, re-issued on the new Blu-Ray format. This appears to be one of them. If you adjust your display properly, for what's on the disc, you will get very good results. But don't expect it to look great with the settings you would use for a properly made, new 4k transfer for Blu-Ray. br /br /
