Date: May 28th, 2022 12:43 AM Author: umber mewling set There’s at least 5 perfect, iconic scenes
What an amazing movie |
Date: May 28th, 2022 12:44 AM Author: Vigorous death wish Best scene? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5118658&forum_id=2#44587830) |

Date: May 28th, 2022 12:45 AM Author: umber mewling set My favorite is the Pesci “why am I funny scene” . Pesci stole every scene he was in
The scene tracking liota and bracco down into the restaurant is amazing
The scene where Pesci is whacked is still shocking
Also the scene where liota’s arrested where he breaks down his whole day hour by hour
The Michael imperioni scene is memorable but it didn’t hold up as well as I remember
When liota beats up bracco’s neighbor and when bracco flips out on liotas girlfriend and points a gun in liotas face also all stood out to me

Date: May 28th, 2022 1:07 AM Author: Bisexual vivacious plaza i think Liotta made the movie. he was very appealing in the role. without him, it would have turned into another formulaic edition of 'The DeNiro and Pesci and Scorcese Goombah Hour', like Casino, which is kind of a lame movie compared to Goodfellas.

Date: May 28th, 2022 12:29 PM Author: aqua self-absorbed gaping cuckoldry two things that jump out in my memory:
- the opening titles that move like traffic to the sounds of traffic
- the final scene where liotta answers his door in the bathrobe in arizona and talks to the camera
Both just masterful, amazing cinema. And that's just the first and last things you see.
What is the oscars story? That it wasnt nominated for MOTY or was and lost to some piece of shit? lmao. It's one of the goat movies ever. lol at "academy awards". even more egregious than the metallica losing grammy to jethro tull thing |

1. goodfellas 2. departed 3. casino 4. taxi driver
and i genuinely liked taxi driver but all those other films were his brand of fast moving cinema and were a huge step beyond having people walk around nyc in the 70s faking brooklyn accents. |

Date: May 29th, 2022 3:43 PM Author: Bateful Degenerate Rewatched today. My favorite bits aren’t the killing and violence stuff or any of the scenes with the oft-quoted lines. I like the scenes where they’re just hanging out and talking shit. Just bros hanging out with their bros, drinking and laughing and fucking around. I’d watch a two-hour recut of the movie with only those scenes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5118658&forum_id=2#44594020) |
