The real Henry Hill used to call the Howard Stern show sometimes. He was a tortured miserable awful person in real life who died an addict and unhappy. The guy "Spider" they killed was never found and his family still has no closure. Hill knew where they put that poor guy and never told anyone. Spider's sister would call the show when Henry was on. He was a bad person but the calls to the show were entertaining.

I remember on the drive home, he told me “Don’t tell your mother I let you watch this,” but I thought it was awesome. Even to this day, it’s one of my desert island top 5 flicks.

Henry Hill never admits to killing anybody, because he couldn't get immunity for that. I read the book years ago (before the movie came out), its an interesting read.

Another movie you might want to check out is Mean Streets. Its an early low budget masterpiece by Scorsese that is both his first gangster movie and his first movie with Deniro who frickin knocks it out of the park. This movie sets up the iconic collaboration between Deniro and Scorsese that is actually still going on today. And then of course theres Taxi Driver, which is not gangster so much but does show us the seedy underbelly of life on the streets with gangsterism in it.

I like that this was the film where we finally get to see Paul Sorvino as a badass. For 2 decades before, he was always cast as the “frustrated supervisor” type role. Usually, he was a police commissioner or a bureaucrat who had just had too much and was praying for just a few stress free days. Although, he did shine in the early 80s in the film adaptation of the play “That Championship Season.” That play was his passion project. He was in the Broadway cast, the film, and even directed the remake in the late 90s. Both versions of the film adaptation are awesome, btw.

Scorsese does other non-gangster films. Two of the best are Taxi Driver-written by the brilliant Paul Schrader-and The Age of Innocence, based on the Edith Wharton novel. It’s worth mentioning, too, that the unique look of Goodfellas is due to the cinematographer Michael Ballhaus, who worked with Scorsese on many of his films.

Further shout outs to Taxi Driver (1976) and The Departed (2006). If you become tempted to watch Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear (1991), please watch the original (1962) first!! It'd make for a great side by side comparison.

Some of the scenes in this film are some of the most iconic of all-time. Such a masterpiece in terms of first person storytelling and pacing. I love Godfather 2. It's a much slower paced film but the two different story lines paralleling each other is and always will be a classic.

9:52 I always loved that death stare he was giving the guy across the street.

There were a lot of good movies in this era, late 80s/early 90s. Platoon, Wall Street, Goodfellas, JFK, Born on the Fourth of July

No Jenny, Jimmy Conway, whose real name was Jimmy Burke, died in prison in 1996, 7.5 years before he was eligible for parole. Henry Hill left the witness protection program and was a frequent guest on the Howard Stern Show before he died in 2012. He struggled with alcoholism and was often drunk when he was calling into Howard's show. You can find some of the clips here on KZfaq.

I've read Wiseguy and it's a great book. Scorsese has made lots of films .... certainly not all of them are Mafia films but lots of his films are tough subject matter. Watch "Raging Bull" that came out in 1980. The American Film Institute declared it the greatest film of the 1980's. And "Taxi Driver" is perhaps Scorseses most controversial film. A must see!

Fun fact: Tommy's mom and the old lady in the grocery store in Casino were played by Scorsese's real life mother.

One of my absolute favourite films ever. I love Scorsese. Great reaction. You could watch. The colour of money, Hugo, the wolf of wall Street, the departed, the aviator, shutter Island, taxi driver, cape fear, casino, raging bull.........

A film filled with some greats, De Niro , Liotta , Sorvino , Pesci and last but not least Murray as Jenny Stacks ! You are one of the stars when you do these Jen . If you like Ray Liotta you should check out Field of Dreams ., but I really wanted to thank you for another great beginning to the weekend . You're a good habit to have !!

My suggestion is not a gangster movie. In fact, it's the side of the equation - police corruption. You should check out Al Pacino in an Oscar winning performance as real life whistle blower cop Paul Serpico in 1973's "Serpico."

The scary thing about Tommy is that the real-life gangster he's based on was even more pyscho that in the film. Dude shot a random stranger on the street just to test out his new gun.

Henry Hill at first would call the Howard Stern Radio show & then later would show up out of the blue . He was ether drunk or high & would answer phone callers questions & even talk shit with gangsters who called to threaten him . Spiders sister once called in to beg him to reveal where spiders body was , so the family could bury him . Many of the shows are on KZfaq & you can listen to them now
