Goodfellas - 2-Disc Special Edition


As far back as he could remember, Henry Hill had always wanted to be a gangster, until three decades later when his life comes crashing down around him. Based on a true story. Ray Liotta plays narrator, Henry Hill, and Robert DeNiro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway. And as the volatile Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Based on the true-life best seller "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, and directed by Martin Scorsese, "Goodfellas" explores the criminal life like no other movie. Also starring Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino. Screenplay by Nicholas Pileggi.

Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film.
