Goodfellas: Is there a better gangster movie than this?

There are a lot of articles on the internet about the best shows to watch during the lockdown. Heck, BookMyShow sends me updates everyday on the best movies and web-series. It’s getting cluttered and even your friend provides you with a list of recommendations. What do you do when you’re being bulldozed by so many recommendations? If you’re like me, you’d go and watch a timeless classic from your favorite genre and forget about the recommendations.  Goodfellas  is that kind of film for me! It has the signature of a masterpiece written all over it. The “funny-how” scene helmed by Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta, and even the murder of Billy Batts was directed so well that you can watch it any number of times. It features some iconic imagery and is certainly quotable. To this day, the film is worshipped by fans and film-makers alike. It’s the holy grail of fun, energetic and stylized cinema packaged in a timeless classic.
