goodfellas is a great movie, love that crime film
I love that movie too, when did it come out anyway?
Goodfellas is a 1990 movie
Hmm I would've definitely guessed that it was older!
Well its based off the 1986 book wiseguys but yea
I wonder why they didn't just call the movie Wiseguys then.
Sometimes titles like Goodfellas just fit better or make more money than something like Wiseguys
That makes sense, though maybe some people wouldn't know that it was based on Wiseguys and it would therefore lose that appeal.
Goodfellas
Goodfellas (stylized GoodFellas) is a 1990 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is an adaptation of the 1985 non-fiction book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese. The film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill and his friends and family from 1955 to 1980.
