I just saw Goodfellas for the first time, and I enjoyed the raw energy that rudeboy mentions. The freeze-shots, quick closeups and the great labyrinthine entrance that Henry and Karen make through the kitchen in one shot are outstanding. The contemporary soundtrack was also great.
Joe Pesci's performance, I could see how it could be grating, but I thought it was a blast: maybe not Oscar-worthy, and it might not hold up over time, but it was hilarious. I didn't find it all one-dimensional though. There was a lucid moment as the camera pans across the people in the Copacabana in slow motion, and Tommy is in a pensive state, a calm and human look on his face.
Sadly, I watched it in reverse: the DVD split the movie into two halves and I unknowingly watched Side B, thinking it was a strange and truncated movie. I anticipate watching it in proper running order soon.

Funny I, too, saw this film on Christmas day (in New York) and the audience clapped at the death scene.Big Magilla wrote:Godfather III I liked excpet for Sohia Coppola's godawful performance. SPOILER ALERT. I did feel bad for her when the Christmas Day audience I saw it with applauded when she's murdered at the end, but I was happy to know if there was going to be a fourth installment it would have to be without her.
I haven’t sat through GoodFellas as a whole for quite some years, but I do occasionally catch it in bits and pieces. Parts of it I still find incredibly compelling – there’s a raw energy which I like, and the art direction, costumes and cinematography are terrific. I really like Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco’s performances, too.
But it is an overrated film, always was. And Joe Pesci’s dreadful performance – nothing but one-note yelling and sneering - may be my least favourite supporting actor winner of the 90s – which is really saying something.
For the record, my favourite movies of 1990 include Europa, Europa (which was eligible for the following year’s oscars), most of Dances With Wolves (the crushing detriment being Costner’s blank lead performance), Edward Scissorhands and the lovely, underrated Men Don’t Leave. But I agree with Magilla that this year was overall a real low for movies.

If there was ever a year I wanted to pass over it would be 1990.
The two films I really liked were Reversal of Fortune and The Grifters, but I admired GoodFellas more at the time, though I haven't watched it in years so I may be over-rating it in my mind. Dances With Wolves bored me silly, but there were moments from it that have stayed in my head all these years. Godfather III I liked excpet for Sohia Coppola's godawful performance. SPOILER ALERT. I did feel bad for her when the Christmas Day audience I saw it with applauded when she's murdered at the end, but I was happy to know if there was going to be a fourth installment it would have to be without her.

Me three. It's certainly well-made, but it's never struck me as the masterpiece others claim it to be (I much prefer Scorsese's earlier films). I, too, prefer The Godfather Part III (ever the contrarian, I actually enjoy this installment more than the first two), as well as Ghost and Dances With Wolves; and such unnominated fare as Europa, Europa; The Grifters; Postcards from the Edge; Internal Affairs; Reversal of Fortune; and Wild at Heart (a film that has rather special memories for me). Wow, I really need to do my 1990 shouldabeens....

You are not alone, Daniel. It's beautifully made but essentiallly it's a film about nothing -- which is to say, it has no subtext.
