City of Films

One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', Whadda ya want from me?

If you’re new to The City of Films (hi there), then you may not know how obsessed we are with Goodfellas.  It’s a perfect film and deserves daily recognition for everything it’s done for influences on just about everything considered entertainment today.  Too much?  I don’t think so.

GoodFellas based on the bestseller ‘Wiseguy’, by Nicholas Pileggi and directed by Martin Scorsese (also known as the man) is turning 20, to mark the film’s anniversary, GQ interviewed nearly sixty members of the cast and crew, along with some noteworthy admirers of the picture.  It’s an extensive look back that worth the read, have fun everybody!  Now go home and get your fuckin’ shinebox.  [Check it out]

Liotta (Henry Hill): I think I was the first person that Marty met, but it took maybe a year. It was a very long process.   I was new. I’d only done three movies at the time. All I heard was that the studio wanted somebody else—”What about this?” “What about Eddie Murphy?”

Isiah Whitlock, Jr. (Doctor): If I start watching it, I’ll be up all night. Sometimes I hate to put the movie on because it’s like, I’ve got shit to do.
