One movie I can always count on to entertain me no matter how many times I watch it is Goodfellas. What a film!
I saw it years ago around 1990 it was a crime film, I am pretty sure directed by Martin Scorsese
Oh that's right! I had forgotten Scorsese directed this one. Man, 1990 was a long time ago. Who was one of your favorite characters in the film?
i never had a favorite, it was not very memorable, the movie was made from an actual non fiction book called Wiseguys
Now that's a book I'll have to check out sometime. Do you happen to know where any of the scenes in the film took place?
I dont, intersting to note the author of Wiseguys also co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese
It definitely sounds like the film should be similar to the book then. Do you know who the composer was for the movie? Some of the scenes were fantastic in my mind.
the rise and fall of the mob is always an interesting story to watch
Yeah, I think I remember that scene as well. I really need to go rewatch it now!
in the film, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta often spoke with Pileggi, who shared research material left over from writing the book. According to Pesci, improvisation and ad-libbing came out of rehearsals wherein Scorsese gave the actors freedom to do whatever they wanted. The director made transcripts of these sessions, took the lines he liked best and put them into a revised script, which the cast worked from during principal photography.

I Am Cuba
I Am Cuba (; , "Ya Kuba") is a 1964 Soviet-Cuban film directed by Mikhail Kalatozov at Mosfilm. The film was not received well by either the Russian or Cuban public and was almost completely forgotten until it was re-discovered by filmmakers in the United States thirty years later. The acrobatic tracking shots and idiosyncratic mise en scene prompted Hollywood directors like Martin Scorsese to begin a campaign to restore the film in the early 1990s.
The film is shot in black and white,
