goodfellas

Marlon Brando wanted to make Don Corleone look "like a bulldog", so he stuffed his cheeks with cotton wool for the screen test. For actual filming, he wore an appliance made by a dentist. [...] Brando's mouthpiece is on display in the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York.

Goodfellas is amazing, I've never been able to get into Sopranos. Everytime I tried to watch it all I got were scenes with Tony talking to a Phsyciatrist. zzz..

A former co-worker saw one of the Reel One kids from the movie on the subway once, and when he exclaimed "You're that kid from Goodfellas!" the yute said "Hiya, Hendry."

JIMMY (laughs, turns to Henry): Forget about tonight.

You can see Vincent with very short cropped hair in about two different bar scenes during the 70's sequence. You can see him clearly in one scene playing cards in the background when Henry Hill (Liotta) takes Morrie the wig guy in the back to calm him down about asking for his share of the Luftansa heist. The scene where Liotta pushes the door open and tells him to go ahead and tell Jimmy to give him his share. There's another scene, a quick one, in the same bar a little earlier but I forget. Anyway, there he is.

Let's see, who am I leaving out...?

CHRISTOPHER- Spider
DR. MELFI- Karen
PAULIE- Guy who sticks postman's head into pizza oven.
BIG PUSSY- Guy who pushes rack of furs even though it's the middle of summer.
LARRY BOY- But it's seven g's, Tommy.
FURTADO- Billy Batts

That's still a lot.

^^^^best scene in any movie ever

That scene makes me laugh every time I see it. Last night must've been about the 20th time.

totally agree, was it scripted? seems improvised.

De Niro saying "Hoof?" gets me every time.

Now I got "Jump Into the Fire" in my head now.

Thread's gone on this long and no mention yet of the head-in-vise scene in Casino? Good God that scene is FRIGHTENING. I literally had nightmares for weeks after I saw that.

And then of course Scorsese totally blows the rest of the movie. Look DeNiro, nobody cares about your stupid attempt to get a gambling license or your marriage troubles. Just give us guns, blood, and bodies getting thrown into cornfields.

that's because it's a goodfellas thread, genius

Yeah, but they're both pretty much the same damn movie.

Mr. Snrub rides again

De Niro saying "Hoof?" gets me every time.
