I love "Goodfellas," but it's kinda flawed. "Mean Streets" redux. The character of Henry is a bit of a cipher, actually. But I love it anyway.

― eddie hurt (ddduncan), Thursday, 19 August 2004 02:12 (8 years ago) Permalink

"Goodfellas" is indeed a fucking masterpiece, it's true.

....but it's still all about "After Hours". Stop living in denial.

Alex, you know, I normally agree with you, except for about the Greenpeace people, but you are so wrong right now.

Well, I'd agree with you if you weren't wrong, Ally.

I mean, I applaud your civic pride and everything...but man, even Trading Places is better than After Hours.

Actually, Trading Places is great!

"Trading Places" is a great, great movie, but it has no place in this debate.

I don't think there's any point, in talking about after hours, at this point.

GOODFELLAS IS OUT ON DOUBLE DVD

All I'm saying is that "After Hours" is a perfect film, and that you're all eating boxfulls and boxfulls of Twinkies that fell from the Wrong Tree.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 19 August 2004 02:27 (8 years ago) Permalink

I KNOW , I OWN IT ALREADY.

xpost After Hours is ok but it's not as good as:

Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
GOODFUCKINGFELLAS
etc.

But it is better than Gangs of NY.

Alex, you are unwittingly eating baby food sprinkled with misguidance.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 August 2004 02:29 (8 years ago) Permalink

"Gangs of New York" is an ambitious albeit deeply flawed film.

"Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas" are untouchably sublime films.

"After Hours" is simply my favorite film of all time.

Sorry for the poor metaphor...but it's really all I'm capable of right now.

It has some great Stones tracks on the soundtrack so yes - especially for Sweet Virginia.

wanted to add something about how P Kael was a clueless fool re this film, but I gotta get the papers get the papers

― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 6 November 2011 12:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

For what it's worth, Kael didn't slam Goodfellas the way she did Raging Bull. She clearly recoiled from Raging Bull; with Goodfellas, it was like she recognized a lot of what people loved about it, and dutifully acknowledged those things, but didn't have any enthusiasm for the film herself. There's an odd tone to the review, something close to resignation. I think she was wrong both times (think the reviews are excellent, though, and have read them many times), but I think she was more conflicted about Goodfellas.

― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Sunday, 13 November 2011 01:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

Agree with clemenza re: Kael's review. Its like she couldn't work up the lather to dismiss it like you could tell she wanted to; there's almost a feeling of her heart not being in it anymore. Can it be a coincidence that it came only weeks before she announced her departure from TNY?

― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 13 November 2011 07:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

My mistake. I was thinking it was weeks rather than months since Goodfellas is one of the last reviews in Movie Love. It was basically at the end of her New Yorker run, though.

The oil of the two dogs was painted by Nicholas Pileggi's mother, and is based on a photograph from the November 1978 issue of National Geographic. Pileggi was the author of Wise Guy, a treatment of the life of gangster Henry Hill, on which Good Fellas is based. As chance would have it, Pileggi was present in 2006 when friend and casino developer Steve Wynn accidentally stuck his elbow through Le Rêve, a Picasso painting that Wynn was about to sell to hedge funder Steve Cohen for $139 million.
