Goodfellas
NO BULLS**T: Starring Robert De Niro
April 12 - 19, 2017
In the wickedly entertaining gangster saga that charts the rise and fall of wiseguy Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), Robert De Niro plays “Jimmy the Gent,” the suave but no less coldblooded mentor to Liotta’s Hill and Joe Pesci’s don’t-call-him-funny loose cannon.
Scorsese’s wickedly entertaining gangster saga charts the rise and fall of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a Brooklyn kid who dreams of being a wiseguy, as he works his way up through Murder, Inc., from parking Cadillacs to pulling million dollar heists alongside high-rolling Jimmy the Gent (Robert De Niro) and Joe Pesci’s don’t-call-him-funny loose cannon. Spanning 1955 to 1980, the film captures the changing eras and fashions via spot-on period detail and a golden oldies soundtrack that bounces from the Ronettes to the Rolling Stones. Between Pesci’s rage and Liotta’s coke-addled depravity, De Niro emerges as the most “restrained” goodfella. An outsider due to his Irish heritage—making him ineligible to become a made man—Jimmy hides a cold-bloodedness simmering beneath his understated suavity.
