We all love the pure escapism you get from a great movie, with a great story. This one comes very close to the ideal. I knocked off a star just because it doesn't quite hold up to super classics (Like "Godfather" for example).
The DVD of Goodfellas has got to be one of the very first DVDs ever released by Warner Brothers because they make a critical error in the release. While many films offer widescreen on one side and full screen on the other, this film offers only one version -- a widescreen film broken into two sides. Viewers have to flip the DVD over to watch the second half of the film; 19 chapters are on side A and the last 15 chapters are on side B. Goodfellas is a classic film, and the DVD offers a great video transfer and excellent Dolby Digital 5:1 Surround, but no DVD fan will accept the two-sided format. In terms of extras, there are very few, limited only to theatrical trailers, production notes, and cast bios. For many, this Martin Scorsese classic is a must-have for any collection, but those who can wait for a future, corrected release of this film are better off watching the widescreen VHS tape. Language option in English and French and subtitles in English, French, and Spanish.

This is a movie to own, and revisit at least every year or 2! Great drama, even seeing it the third time I picked up little nuances of this all involving story.

I don't want to give anything away, but the action is compelling, the story is the same, and the actors at times are riveting.....I just found myself losing interest for very short periods of time, probably just me.

Nice CD to play in the car on the way to work, or listen at home for a few tries. Nothing dramatic, offensive or even particularly poignant. Worth the investment, but this is not one you are going to commit to your personal musical memory, unless you are a huge JM fan!

From the celebrated director of Sideways (Alexander Payne) comes a wonderfully warm and witty film. Experience a bittersweet drama about a detached fathers (George Clooney) attempt to reconnect with his two daughters and their often-hilarious quest for the truth.

I am willing to skip over a few OBVIOUS challenges to the actors to make this thing work to say the story rules! I mean my family really enjoyed the story and thought hard and long about what it means to us as a unit.

Lovely story about being a teenager where you must ask yourself, would you have done it that way or done that? So do plunk down and pick up this disc and watch it with you teenager(s) and ask the important questions. You will thank me later. The kids will chat for hours (if you can stand it).

Do watch this yourself, either before or after you watch it with your family or significant others(s). It is a riot and funny and has a bit of action. I can see how this did so well in the theater.
