Goodfellas - Martin Scorsese [DVD]

Martin Scorsese directs this violent crime drama which follows Italian-American Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) as he rises through the ranks of the Mafia. Upon becoming an FBI informant, Hill recalls how he got started in the Mob at a young age in the 1950s and went on to take part in the multimillion-dollar robbery of a Lufthansa vault at JFK Airport. Hill and his partners, Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), went on to rise through the ranks of the Mafia over three decades, eventually eliminating Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino), the neighbourhood godfather who originally took Hill under his wing.
