While this film has received a lot of well-deserved praise it does feel like it's overshadowed by it's bigger and crazier predecessor Pulp Fiction and that's a shame because this is the film where Tarantino shows signs of maturing as a director and I would say it's next to Reservoir Dogs as my personal favorite of his. The Blu-ray transfer supervised by Tarantino is leap years above the now aged Special Edition DVD in terms of clarity and color and the audio is no slouch either. Extras are about the same as the previous releases but the DVD release was already loaded and at the Blu-ray's current price the lack of a lot of newer extras can be overlooked.

After a rocky history of home video releases Goodfellas has received the release it deserves with this new 4K restoration by Scorsese and sporting a new HD audio mix which is a huge improvement over the previous Blu-ray's DVD-era 5.1. mix. Extras are the same as the previous release except for the new documentary on Scorsese's mark on the crime genre and the hardcover booklet featuring plenty of great photos as well as words on the influence of the film.
