It's hard to distinguish between good films critically - and "greatest film ever made" is always going to be a tricky one.<BR/><BR/>I almost expected Goodfellas to be nastier - I was suprised by the tone, which was actually quite similar to the warm nostalga of The Godfather. And it certainly sells gangster as an insanely attractive career (never mind ending up half-dead in a boot...)Unmutualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317682642911946981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538142.post-18160174927211100402007-05-15T06:18:00.000-07:002007-05-15T06:18:00.000-07:00As much as I love the first Godfather and have mid...As much as I love the first Godfather and have middling respect for the second, I agree with Total Film's assertion of GoodFellas being better than both.<BR/><BR/>Putting it as the greatest film ever is a tough call, but it's certainly up there. I've yet to find a more replayable enjoyable film, that honestly does get better everytime I watch it.<BR/><BR/>To be fair, I am a little biased towards Scorsese (GoodFellas, Raging Bull and the vastly underrated Casino all being in my top 20).<BR/><BR/>You're quite right on all points with Broken Flowers though. Dead Man is still my favourite film of his. I just have a thing for head crushings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
