Martin Scorsese’s landmark gangster classic tells the true story of Henry Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian Brooklyn man who was adopted by neighbourhood gangsters at an early age, climbing the ranks of a Mafia family before violence, drug addiction, and the long arm of the law changed everything.
Led by an incredible performance by the late, great Ray Liotta in his first major lead role, Goodfellas also features memorable turns from Robert De Niro, Paul Sorvino, Lorraine Braco, and Joe Pesci, who would deservedly win an Oscar for his terrifying performance as psychopathic mobster Tommy DeVito.
