The scene where Jimmy is telling Karen to go around the corner for the dresses, but she knew that he was going to kill her, I grew up down the street from where they were in Brooklyn. I remember when they were making this movie, all the kids would stand around, watching them. I was just a kid, as well, and I thought it was so exciting, plus my father was a huge De Niro fan (Rest in peace, Dad).
Our condolences to you Johanna. Thanks for sharing this with us! Much love to you
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ Thank you so much, BJ and Asia. I really enjoy your channel. Such a wonderful couple.
That's Smith and 9th st in Bklyn I know that spot very well too.
The scene when Henry was geeked out in the strip mall was Richmond Ave. Staten Island.
I don’t think he planned to kill her or Henry personally, I think he was paying to have a third party kidnap her to lure Henry to a discreet location… to kill both of them. Jimmy of course would know nothing about it
Believe it or not, Tommy actually did those things and was more of a psychopath in real life than depicted in the film.
The theory on why the real Tommy was so “crazy” was supposedly his brother was an informant so to make up for someone in his family being a “snitch” Tommy was an out of control tough guy
I know how he felt about the brother. but you can't put a whole antisocial psychopathic personality and tendencies like he had on the will to proove yourself
One time tommy bought a gun off the streets.. to test it he walked up to the first person he saw.. some random lady.. and shot her in the back of the head. Wtf
@@joshythehand2960 Yea, I've read about his insane antics. He was bound to wacked sooner or later.
@@yayocowboy It wasn't just to prove himself. Actually he's probably a sociopath.
The creator of the Sopranos called this movie his handbook for creating the perfect Mafia story. It's not coincidence that so many actors from Goodfellas appeared in the Sopranos.
Even the foot shooting scene is in The Sopranos. And funny thing is.. Michael Imperioli is the one shooting the foot this time :D
They occasionally paid homage too. For instance, it's no coincidence that Christopher makes the guy in the pastry shop dance and shoot him in the foot.
@@11DNA11 I just made the same comment without reading this first. You beat me to it.
I always thought it was cos there's just enough Italian actors to pull it off but not quite enough to be different actors in mob movies and shows
Tony Sirico (he plays Paulie Walnuts in that show) is seen early on in the movie; the last you see him is when Karen gets out of the car, yelling at Henry about getting stood up.
That look in DeNiro's eyes when he finally decides to whack everybody else is so chilling... especially with that song playing.
For real. It reminds us all why DeNiro was an absolute beast as an actor during this period. Roles in classics such as Raging Bull, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver. Before he sold his soul taking parts in hack movies over the last 15 years.
Its kind of comical the way hes staring at Morrie when the Eric Clapton song starts. You know what hes thinking but its kind of funny and he makes deciding to kill someone look really cool lol
You always go out in one way or another to or by the people you love and trust the most. Whether you hear a song or nothing at all. You flash, you're there, if just for a moment in everyone else's lives.... When you go your whole life is there just for that moment.
🧠: "... I could just kill everybody..."
*cigarette*
🧠: "I should just kill EVERYBODY"
Its like ok motherfkr I have a surprise for you keep talking
"For as far back as I remember I always wanted to be a gangster." has got to be one of THE best opening lines of any movie ever.
Or the Ironic first word from "YesMan"....."No" 😂 followed by "No means no".
It was the theme of the movie too. I've watched this movie from VHS to Blu-ray and never get tired of it. Even though the end always bums me out.
@@thinkman2467They're all terrible people they don't deserve a happy ending. That's the point of gangster movies
As soon as Asia said "I'm okay with Gangster movies unless they get too crazy" I was like "Oh boy here we go!"
😂😂😂😂😂
yeah those first 90 seconds are like getting punched in the face
@@binkymagnusI played GTA Vice City when I was little and saw that Goodfellas was gonna come on TV and that Ray Liotta would be in it too. I thought it’d be an action movie with chases and shootouts but boy was I in for a surprise
The point of movies like The Untouchables, or Goodfellas is to show these people for what they are: a bunch of psychotic thugs who'll pat you on the back one minute, and kill you the next for being a liability; or just for disrespecting them. (R.I.P. Spider) 😔
Tommy is menace, but guys like Jimmy Conway you have to watch out for too.
"I thought they were GOODfellas!" One of the best lines ever haha
They ARE good, they're good at their jobs!
Just not at holding their temper 😅
@@GhostWatcher2024 Asia point still stands, they're not a'ight. They killed a made man, they sold drugs when the boss told them not to, and they screwed over other guys of their take.
She said no violence!
@@svenpoletka5236 why she so squeamish watching goodfellas lol
Lesson of the Day: just cause you wear a good guy label don't mean you a good guy
I wanna say that the Lufthansa Heist is still the biggest cash robbery in US history. This is an amazing movie. RIP Ray Liotta.
I think it was at the time (roughly $8 million in cash and jewels) but was passed by the Loomis-Fargo armored car robbery in 1997, which was turned into the 2016 movie Masterminds (with Zach Galifinakis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudekis)
@Lawrence Dockery, you are correct, sir. It was a woman who worked there and her boyfriend. They got away with about 16 million dollars if remember correctly.
@@lawrencedockery9032 Yes! I had forgotten about that! I remember watching the ridiculous movie.
There's one not to long ago that's unsolved as well.. 3 guys hit the armored car picking up the cash from a giant casino near Detroit. They got over 3 million in cash. Most of it was in 20s.. so they brought a jack to get it in their van.. about 800 lbs in cash lol.. it hadn't been solved yet to my knowledge
@Lawrence Dockery there's one they won't talk about.. at least they won't say how much. In Sacramento there. Was
Ray Liotta, the actor who played Henry Hill, went to high school in union, nj with my mom. my mom was friends with his girlfriend during their junior and senior year. So sad that he passed away, he was a terrific actor.
If I remember correctly, Joe Pesci was also from Union City, as was the Genovese Caporegime wiseguy in The Irishman, Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano, who was the Teamsters president of that area in the 50s-60s
That was the director's, Martin Scorsese, mother playing Pesci's mother. Martin told her to just be mom in the scene, it was mostly improvised.
A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE!! 🔥…..
- “DONNIE BRASCO” - (1997)
- “A BRONX TALE” - (1993)
Once upon a time in America directors cut 😉👍 one of my favorites ✌️
@@johnboydTx Yes! Another classic! 👊🏽
A Bronx Tale is EXCELLENT!
THE DEPARTED
Casino 1995
Paul Sorvino, who played Paulie, was apparently one of the nicest people you could meet. When he got the role, he didn't know how to play someone so ruthless. One day, at home, he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. The look he saw scared him and that's the cold stare you see in the film. An incredible actor. His daughter is Mira Sorvino.
In the 1970's he played a cop on television named Bert D'Angelo. He was one tough and mean cop. His favorite line was "If you're lying, I'll break your arm in three places." He knew how to play Paulie. And he was the nicest of people. May he rest in peace.
I remember watching 'good morning America' the day after his daughter won an Oscar, they were still up partying till the morning and he was on the show from home haha he was so happy and buzzed from celebration. He was so happy for his daughter. Bless his heart I never seen or heard of him like that ever.
Thanks Mr IMDB
@@clarencewalker3925
The man could sing too, as he demonstrated in "Repo the Genetic Opera". Very weird movie but some amazing music in it.
I remember reading that Paul Sorvino is super nice. He also had a penchant of playing cop characters back then.
Fun fact, the "funny how?" scene wasn't in the script. It was a complete surprise to everyone but Joe Pesci. That's why everyone's surprise and confusion is so genuine.
People who knew the guy Joe Pesci was playing said while the scene is fictional, this is exactly the kind of shit the original enjoyed doing.
not true entirely, they worked the scene out in rehearsals
Misconception
Time stamp?
This was my favorite scene in the movie. It held the suspense of Tommy's insanity so well that you didn't know whether Henry was actually going to die or not. Such a great scene.
It’s nothing less than a masterpiece. Roger Ebert called it: “The Best Mob Movie Ever.”
Reel talk! I grew up in NY. Studied Italian in school. We had a career day and a female FBI agent spoke to my Italian class to show how foreign language studies helped her get the job. She was a substitute teacher but was fluent in Italian and Russian and got hired. She would go undercover as a mob member's girlfriend and listen in at dinners and gatherings and translate their activities.
Yes Asia. "Stax" is Samuel L. Jackson. Glad to see you two enjoying this classic. It's one of my favorite gangster movies too. Enjoy.
Asia: 'That is Samuel L. Jackson'
Me: Not for much longer it ain't
You guys never seen Goodfellas? “Now Go Get Your Friggin Shinebox!” 😂🤣💪
"what do you mean? I'm funny how?" "I'm a clown? I'm here to amuse you?" 😂
You know, the way you tell the story, what?
Remember this line for the Sopranos
So many classic lines! 😂
Yeah yeah c'mon c'mon feel strong....
This movie, along with The Godfather 1&2, are undoubtedly the pinnacle of gangster movies
Can add Casino to that aswell. Scarface too.
And why not Donnie Brasco. Considering those movies the keen essential mob movies.
The Funeral too.
A Bronx Tale is up there as well.
(Not so) fun fact, the real Tommy (Thomas DeSimone) was even more of a psychopath in real life but the one person he actually liked was Stacks Edwards and was a close personal friend. But because Stacks messed up so bad, Tommy was ordered to kill him and it is said this is the one murder that he had any remorse over.
My favorite line in the movies, when they’re being rounded up: Whoever sold you those suits had a wonderful sense of humor.
“He tap dance on his head. He’s tap dancing.” You guys had me rolling watching this. Well done!
“They mopped him with the floor” 😂
Yeah, that part had me laughing too!!.😂😂😂.
Would love for you guys to do a Bronx tale. Robert deniro but this time instead of the gangster he’s the father who’s son is involved with the mafia. It’s also a love story when the son falls in love with a black girl from another neighborhood. So good
Deniro directed that, too!
That's a great idea. A Bronx Tale is such an underrated gem.
The actor that plays Sunny wrote the story. It's based on his life. Calogero is his real name.
Really good movie ᥫ᭡
Goodfellas is such a great film. Glad you both enjoyed it.
The scene when he walk s up to his mother's (irish) yo mom. Wearing silk suit and slick back hair... she said" you look like a dago."
Whacking Spider, on impulse...turns out he was the nephew of a made man... that was another nail in his coffin ...or wherever in some landfill.
@Joseph Hickman Henry Hill's Mother was from Sicily. His father was Irish. When he showed up in the suit she said, "You look like a gangster!"
@Joseph Hickman Tommy DeSimone was a very violent guy. Unfortunately, his snap decisions and disregard for those around him is what got him clipped.
Paulie’s slap to Hill’s face when warning him against drug dealing was improvised by Paul Sorvino, hence Ray Liotta’s surprised expression was genuine.
Also Tommy was based on Tommy ‘two gun’ Desimone who stood 6’2 and over 200 lbs. According to Henry Hill he was every bit the psycho he was in the movie, sometimes shooting people just to test out new guns he’d obtained to see how well they worked.
Interesting bit of trivia about Tommy's character. The guy that actually pulled the trigger and took him out in real life was John Gotti.
@@naelar13 really??
@@drewt5217 Yeah that's the common rumor, Paulie clued him in on what Tommy did to Bats.
Allegedly, Tommy was really close to Stacks and maybe the one person he felt bad about killing.
The real Henry Hill said the movie guys "Made Tommy look _nicer than he really was."__ "He was a real homicidal maniac." (then uncomfortable laughter).
RIP Ray Liotta. You are truly missed.
R.I.P., Ray Liotta.
My favorite mob movie EVER. One of the greatest movies EVER. Glad you two enjoyed it!
Great reaction guys. Recommend A Bronx Tale
Mine too! Great movie
This and The Departed, both mob movies!
Both Scorsese films too!
@@tysonthomas7094 Godfather and Godfather Part 2 will always be in the conversation as being the best mafia films ever made alongside Goodfellas. All are absolute classics! Casino and Mean Streets are up there as well.
"I said no violence" Poor Asia 😂😂😂😂
Lol I laughed at that. I guess she forgot she was watching a based on a true story Mafia movie
The Copacabana scene is one continuous shot. Probably the best scene in the movie. Scorsese is a genius.
The elderly lady who played Joe Pesci's mother, was actually the director's mom, Mr Martin Scorsesee.
And the kitchen scene was improvised
You guys should react to a Bronx tale!
Whenever Joe Pesci plays a hothead in a mob movie he usually dies. While people like that could usually be useful as enforcers they had a habit of bringing unwanted attention to themselves. In this movie he killed a “made guy” without getting the appropriate approval. What’s worse is it was a Gambino member one of the five families. I don’t think it’s explicitly mentioned in the movie but Paulie’s character was a caporegime for the Lucchese family another of the five. Which is why Henry told Karen he was a union rep for construction/waste management as that was a “legitimate” they had a controlling interest in.
It’s not explicitly mentioned in the movie but there’s subtle references to the fact Karen was having an affair with Paulie. Like him sending Henry to Florida after their big fight saying he would talk to Karen. That relationship is what would allegedly be the reason Tommy was killed as Karen told Paulie about Billy Bats and after Tommy tried doing something to Karen Paulie told the Gambino’s. (At least according to the real Henry Hill which isn’t actually that reliable a source)
Henry wasn’t actually that important in real life which is why he survived being kicked out of witness protection. It was a turbulent time for the mob and everyone that would’ve wanted him dead was already locked up or dead.
Karen never knew about Bats, though? Henry told her it was a skunk or something while washing the trunk of his car
According to Michael Franzese, who was a boss in the Colombo family, Henry Hill, who passed away back in 2012 was a troubled sole, with a serious drug and alcohol problem. He said the real Henry Hill had nowhere near the status portrayed in the movie. I think it's one of the best movies ever made.
Henry probably was as big of hitter as Franzese was. There was a lot more ways to earn back then. I respect Michael Franzese, but I take what he says with a grain of salt. After all Scorsese never made a movie about Michael Franzese.
@@laudanum669 Because Franzese didn't get interviewed for Pileggi's book. ;) That said, Franzese is a true BS artist. He likes to pretend he's a reformed criminal who found religion, but if you listen to what he says, he's still deep into that criminal/conman mentality. So what he said about Hill can't be trusted. Neither can what Hill said about Hill, though.
@@shadowfaxcrx5141 Yeah that is for sure. Any Wise guy is going to say whatever he has to.
If you notice he's not really portrayed as a heavy hitter in the movie
@@smithblack100 That's true.
As an Italian American, from NYC your accent was too darn funny, in a sweet way though. My hubby is from the deep South, and he tries an Italian accent all the time, sounds just like u too!! You guys rock!🤟
The Italian American accent isn't an Italian accent either. It's an American one with affectations.
@@chrisellis3797 absolutely 💯!
@@chrisellis3797 it’s a strong New York accent
This movie is a classic that must not and cannot ever be redone.
This reaction has the single best line ever from a reactor thanks to Asia, "I wonder if Paulie ever found out about the Gambini", still making me laugh.
Coincidentally Joe Pesci plays someone named Gambini in My Cousin Vinny.
@@introvertboricua787it's from the show "fugget bout it" too
😂😂
Asia: “Don’t try me.”
**Literally any fictional character in any film threatens violence and gives a command to someone**
Asia (before the character can read their own lines): “Ok.”
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
My dad, long time deceased, actually grew up in Rockaway Point with Jimmy Burke (the DiNiro character). He was a tough kid too.
Love this film. So glad you reacted to it. RIP Ray Liotta
It's such an entertaining flic. Most movies sag a little in the middle, but "Goodfellas" holds my attention and charms me all the way to the end!
As a gal from
Brooklyn originally, I felt like that could have been my family. We got Tonys, Frankie's, Annette, Joannas, Paulies and Carmines. Just to name a few. Lol I love this movie I. So glad you all did too. 🩷
I’m so glad you liked it 🫶🏽 This is my favorite Mob movie besides The Godfather 1&2 and Casino 🖤🖤
Donnie brasco
The name of the book was “Wiseguy” by Nick Pileggi. There was a TV show by that name and Martin Scorsese had to call the movie something else, so they came up with “Goodfellas.” Mob guys are called Wiseguys in New York.
Omg I was so in love with Ken Wahl (Vinny Terranova.)
He was one handsome dog.
I love when asia says " they didn't even wait 5 minutes" that's how you know the movie is action packed, scary or violent 😂😂😂
Two fun facts:
1. My dad was friends with Lorraine Bracco’s (Karen) cousin for most of his life, they were best friends but he sadly passed away.
2. The scene where Jimmy tried to whack Karen was actually filmed in my neighborhood.
Carroll Gardens! My daughter and son-in-law lived in that neighborhood for many years. I used to look for the diamond window above the door that Lorraine Bracco walks by as we drove by.
@@diane39istockphoto Yes, that’s the place. My family on both sides has lived in this neighborhood for over 65 years! I’ve grown up here all my life. It’s become heavily gentrified unfortunately, and most of the old timers are almost completely gone now. Really sad to see that gentrification is driving out the people who have lived there for generations unfortunately.
@@kadijasummaya3885 Yes...I know it's becoming ridiculously unaffordable now. My daughter moved to the suburbs and has a house and a yard for way less than their apt in Carroll Gardens. Sad.
What I love about this movie is the timing. At the beginning, it's kinda slow moving, in the middle it moves along well, by the end, it's frantic and gritty... Absolute brilliance. Oh, and the sound track, especially Into The 🔥 Fire.....
Ray Liotta passed just recently at 67... he will be sorely missed.
I actually saw Goodfellas in the theatre in Oct 1990, we were in the next theatre over watching "Mr. Destiny" when we decided to walk out 10 minutes into the film...went next door thinking this can't be worse than what we almost sat through. I never heard of Goodfellas until I was in the theatre seeing it. You should've seen the people's reaction seeing the "you're a funny guy scene"...I will never forget the experience of seeing this in Hawthorne movie theatre which doesn't even exist anymore. I think it's now an Audi dealership.
A lot of people say this is the best movie ever made. It's hard to disagree. It's truly incredible. The suspense and the way they depict paranoia when DeNiro is telling Henry's wife to look around the corner for the dresses, was subtly and through just inflection and dialogue, insanely suspenseful. Absolutely one of my favorites
oh Asia, I was squirming when you said "no violence" at the very beginning because I knew you were not going to get your wish. Such a great movie, and I really enjoyed both of your reactions.
Fun Fact: in Goodfellas, director Martin Scorsese brought his parents Catherine and Charles to play both the mother of Joe Pesci's character and as the cook from the prison scene.
So happy to watch this with you. I love this movie!!!! Hi from Bklyn, NY. ✌
In terms of quality of output, Joe Pesci is a sheer GOAT at delivering a character. Just a GOAT. 😎🥃
In terms of playing mob guys Pesci is the undisputed #1 ever. Most real mob guys from that time said Pesci played them the most accurately. Not for being a maniac, just the way he'd talk and his mannerisms, he absolutely nailed his role as Tommy and he did an amazing job as Nicky in Casino, basically the same character but maybe slightly less crazy
Goat how, Rocco ? You think I bleat like a damn fuckin' horny lawnmover ?
character???
that's him.
he doesn't even know he's in the movies!
BJ right when he said it is waste management clearing all the bodies lol glad you guys enjoyed it!
I’m new to your channel and I just want to thank you both for keeping it real and not deleting the scenes like so many other people that do reviews on classic movies ! I enjoyed your reviews !
Thank you !
THIS is a reaction channel. I’ve been watching for awhile and I truly wish you two the MOST success ever. You both have worked so hard and put out sooo many movie, show, and song reactions! You seem like really amazing people..with Really beautiful souls. ❤ I wish you two the best and then some. You TRULY deserve it. Thank you.
RIP Ray Liotta. ❤
“He’s tap dancing on his head”! “Babe why you gotta say that?” Killed me 😂😂😂😂😂
This movie is so much fun, the soundtrack really makes the film zip along as well. There isnt a dull moment in it
THANK YOU for this!.. Goodfellas is one of my top-5 all time favorite flicks. Watching you guys enjoy it (and so many other great movies) for the first time is so much fun! There is so much about this movie that is top-notch film making. If not for The Godfather, this would be the greatest gangster film made.
4:48 when you mentioned sopranos, literally right when your screen cuts away and the dude gets up out of the car, that guy getting out of the car is the actor who played Paulie walnuts on sopranos. So many reoccurring actors in sopranos who either got their start on goodfellas or stuck around throughout the crime drama genre.
Ray Liota, one of the actors in this just died not too long ago. May he RIP!
Asias laugh is the best! Love this movie such a classic
Love Goodfellas! Love gangster movies! Next, you gotta do the Godfather! I'm glad to hear you been watching the Sopranos! ♥️✌️
Hearing Asia say "they didn't even wait 5 minutes" is awesome, every time.
You two crack me up after they got married & she was at a hostess party 🎉you both said “what’s up with her hair?” 😂😆👊👍
@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ The thing about this movie is it's not far off at all from how things were. I grew up in NY at that time and it truly was like the wild west. All kinds of crime was rampant, you really didn't want to wander too far from your own 'hood or be out at night, the subway was a total nightmare 24/7; and the mob did have a hold on waste management and construction and few other industries. (Ironically, one of the US Attorneys back in the '80s to try the mob on RICO charges was Rudy Guiliani!) The daily papers would actually print crime scene photos of hits on the front page. The Luftansa heist happened too, my mom always had the radio on in the morning while getting us ready for school and I remember her hushing us so she could hear the report, then later on it and the hits that followed were something all the adults were talking about.
9:36 This scene became a popular meme of Ray Liotta's character laughing.
Oh man, I’m so glad you two finally are watching this…what a great movie. The real life events and characters are so fascinating as well….cheers 🍻
The helicopter sequence is one of the greatest in film history. So well done. I can’t not watch this when it’s on tv.
"It's just part of waste management, Asia!" made me laugh.
You might enjoy that a cartoon from back in the 90s called The Animaniacs had a segment called The Goodfeathers based off of this movie and 1 of the pigeons was just like Joe Pesci 😆
Great reaction, Asia and BJ! “Tap dancing” and “waste management” 😂😂😂😂
My favorite movie of all time. I think many would agree that it's one of the best movies ever made. Glad y'all enjoyed it!
Easily in the top 5 of all time. Newest Scorsese film is also incredible
You two are the absolute best reaction channel ♡ Between the charm and fantastic editing reaction choices, you both are leading the game. Thank you both for reacting to this gem of a film. I genuinely can't wait until you both react to the spiritual sequel to this, Casino.
These 2 held hands, when Henry went on the Copacabana date.
I'm amazed at how many reactor never show any feeling or reaction to their spouse/partner, even if the person is crying.
For the NY circa 1970s,80s Italian accent, watch Eddie Murphy's Raw when he talks about Italians and Rocky. I'm half Italian and grew up in NY before moving to TX. He nailed it! No joke. Even Italians didn't know they were talking like that before he pointed it out. Classic. Thank you Eddie Murphy 😊
Great reactions guys 🤩 Another classic is The Godfather with Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and Talia Shire who also played Rocky's wife. Godfather part 2 & 3 complete the family story, well worth checking out.
It's Scorcese. He pulls no punches. This movie is one of his top three ever, along with Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. It is easily one of the top 10 movies of the 1990s. The change in tone as the movie moves along in time from the early 1960s to the 1970s is subtle but engrossing. It becomes increasingly more frantic and disjointed as things become unraveled in Henry's life and among the mob members. Joe Pesci manages to convey sheer terror with his insanity just below the surface of Tommy's character. That this masterpiece didn't win Best Picture at the Oscars was a joke.
"It's just part of waste management, Asia" Hilarious
One of my all time favorite movies!!! Such a great cast…and to think it is based off a true story
Y'all are adorable together! I enjoyed your reax to one of my all time faves.
Another movie I think you'll like in the true life mob/crime genre that explains the structure of the mob "families" (although still enhanced for Hollywood) is "Donnie Brasco" from 1997 starring Johnny Depp. Depp also did a scary-good job portraying real life Boston Irish mobster James Bulger in 2015's "Black Mass". And, just to round out the unbelievable Johnny Depp real life criminal movie lineup, you can throw in "Blow" from 2001. Make a day of it .
Black Mass is very underrated. Fun fact, Whitey Bulger actually took shelter for a time in my town - Budd Lake, NJ. The FBI came looking for him but he was long gone.
Loved Black Mass. Don't forget Public Enemies where he portrays John Dillinger.
"F**k" and its derivatives are used 321 times, an average of 2.04 per minute. Joe Pesci says about half of them. The script called for the word to be used 70 times, but much of the dialogue was improvised during shooting, and the expletives piled up. At the time of the film's release, it had the most profanity of any movie in history. As of 2020, it's #15.
I'd have to check the current leader board, but last I knew 'Wolf of Wall Street ' (also by Scorsese) was the new champion.😃
I believe the film that first took that title away from Goodfellas was Casino (yet another Scorsese movie) The fact that both films prominently featured Joe Pesci was probably not a complete coincidence as well.
@@brettschacht4183 for a while, the leader was "Casino".
@@brettschacht4183 - I think the movie "Swearnet" is number 1. Remember Trailer Park Boys?🤓
I thought the winner would be Scarface.
I know what I'm doing tonight. Watching you guys react to this glorious movie!! Definitely a classic. 10 out of 10 for me. You guys should do Casino if you haven't seen I yet. A lot of the same characters are in Casino as this one.
1:16 "Just as long as it don't get crazy."
You might want to install a seatbelt on that couch. Cause they are opening with the car trunk scene and that's just the start. 😆
This movie is where Ashanti got her “Foolish” music video from. From the beginning to the end.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time I’m so glad you 2 enjoyed it, you guys have to watch “Casino” and “Donnie Brasco”now, Love you guys keep up the great content all the time much love and support!!!
Yes with the iconic mob movies! Love love love! Now pls review “ Casino” , and “ A Bronx Tale” ……. Soooo good!

@@APC3370 casino may be the top mob movie for me lol Sharon Stone acted her ass off in that movie…
@@amgirl4286 couldn’t agree more !
Since you enjoyed this you will definitely also enjoy A BRONX TALE.
u a fool fool
my favorite movie
Finally
I love the doo-wop vocals around "C" 's high school when he meets his girl Jane, it just sets the emotional, romantic and sadly dangerous tone of their involvement with each other. It's the first thing that hits me when anyone mentions A Bronx Tale, as you just did. A special film.
When Jimmy was urging Karen to go into the dingy storefront for the free dresses, notice how the camera lifts over the ONE WAY sign pointing to DON'T WALK, a subtle indicator placed by the director that Karen would be killed.
One of the best scenes is definitely the restaurant scene "Funny? Funny how?..." ...finally, you Gotta watch "A Bronx Tale" soon!!
Possibly the greatest movie of all time in my opinion
It's honestly hard to argue against.
One of the greatest movies of all time! Based on actual events! Tommy(Joe Pesci) was as crazy in real life as he was in the movie.
The one shot walk through the restaurant if one of the greatest cinematic scenes in history
I love the beginning of this movie in how it shows just how alluring the mob was for young people growing up in blue-collar neighborhoods. In other organized crime films I'd seen, I always questioned why anyone would want to get involved in that kind of life in the first place. This movie really shows how they drew people into the life, and how impossible it was to get out once you were in.
If you enjoyed this one, you should definitely check Casino sometime. They are without a doubt my two favorite mob movies.
The best! Now you have to do The Godfather 1&2, Raging Bull , Casino and Donnie Brasco.
What a movie, I went to see this as a 17 year old back in the day then stayed in the cinema to watch it again..
RIP Ray Liotta. Acting genius.🙏
"I thought you said 'I'm alright Spider'"
"Alright, so he got shot in the foot. What is it a big fucking deal?"
So many quotable lines in that movie. Top 5 ALL TIME
Did they know Spider in Goodfellows played Christopher Moltisanti in the Sopranos? The inside joke is that Spider gets shot in the foot in Goodfellows and later in The Sopranos Christopher Moltisanti shoots the pastry guy in the foot and says, "It happens" hahaha 😆 😂 🤣
Asia: " that girl won't bust a grape" i burts out laughing!!!!
