"Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas" are untouchably sublime films.
"After Hours" is simply my favorite film of all time.

I've posted a couple of these movie-music Zooms I've been doing with a friend (we're getting close to 50, but I've tried to post sparingly). The first half of this one, and then the last 10 minutes, is on Goodfellas and Scorsese; there's 10 or 15 minutes on Jonathan Kaplan's Heart Like a Wheel in the middle.

Links are preferable to embeds anyway IMO.
It's probably endlessly repeated but on the Talking Sopranos podcast Michael Imperioli was telling the story of how he was taken to the emergency room for a cut on his hand when filming the scene where Spider gets killed and the staff called "code blue" and were cutting his suit open to treat gunshot sounds.

Racing through the Glenn Kenny book...Confirming something I took notice of and always wondered about: at some point (Kenny doesn't know when), GoodFellas became Goodfellas. And at one point, somebody involved in the earliest stages wanted Tom Cruise and Madonna as the Hills.

A rep theatre close by is screening this three times in the next few days. "In memory of Ray Liotta"--I suspect it's more a case of "In memory of when people saw movies in theatres." I don't blame them at all.

Goodfellas sighting: The Office, S6, the episode about the insurance salesman: immediately recognized the salesman--and possible Mafia soldier--as Frenchy. ("Security? You're looking at it. It's a joke. I'm the midnight to eight man.") Mike Starr is the guy's name. Didn't realize he was also in Miller's Crossing--can't get an image to confirm, but I think he's the goon who feels so bad about having to pummel Gabriel Byrne in the warehouse.

There's actually quite a few points of similarity between "GoodFellas" and "Miller's Crossing":
- Gangster drama released in late September of 1990
- Gangsters all primarily delineated as Irish/Italian/Jewish
- Mike Starr as a character named "Frankie" and "Frenchie", two names that could both be considered slang for "Francophone"
- Irish protagonist with Jewish love interest
- Murder of a character known for his toupee
- "Oh Danny Boy" is heard, either sung or played on a Victrola
- Corpse left in wooded area, and later revisited by protagonist, who succumbs to vomiting
- Both Tom Regan and Lois insist on retrieving their forgotten hats
