Rumor has it that the REAL Henry Hill thank Ray Liotta for not making him look like a douch-bag, and Liotta just said "Did you see the movie?" Haha.

I love this quote from Roger Ebert: "This is movie about a man who sells his soul, and the truly terrifying thing is that, in the end, his only regret is that he has no more of his soul to sell."

"As far back as I remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." One of the best opening scenes ever.

fun fact: Tommy's mother is actually played by Scorsese's mother. Her and his dad had cameos in loads of his movies.

RIP Tony Sirico. Was just a minor character in this but went on to play one of the best television characters ever in The Sopranos

RIP Paul Sorvino and Ray Liotta. Two great actors that really shine in this film, especially Liotta.

One of the greatest films ever made. Scorsese knocked it out of the park and delivered a truly fascinating look into the glory days and fall from grace that happened to the New York Italian mafia.

Love how the waiter Joe Pesci shoots in the foot is the actor of Christopher in the Sopranos, who then goes on to shoot a character in the foot in that show and say "it happens" 😂

It's crazy that just after watching this movie along with you I learn that the actor for Pauli just died, 2 months after Henry's actor who also died! May the both of them rest in peace. They made one hell of a movie.

Yes, please keep having this type of segment: "POPULAR MOVIES THAT THE CREW NEVER SEEN (especially Aaron)"!

Now that they understand the references, I hope one day Eric and Aaron re-watch the Community episode "Contemporary American Poultry".

Joe Pesci filmed Home Alone the same time as Goodfellas and he had a hard time not cussing on the set. To cut down the swearing while on the Home Alone set, he started shouting incoherent ramblings when he got hit over the head and injured. Pesci is an absolute legend.

Echoing everyone's comments that Sopranos needs to be reacted to someday, as well as other Scorsese movies. And Eric needs to watch Heat, maybe some of the crew haven't seen it yet either.

One of my favorite films of all time. R.I.P. Frank Vincent. 💐👏🏼 R.I.P. Ray Liotta. 💐👏🏼 R.I.P. Paul Sorvino. 💐👏🏼 If u guys haven’t seen Donnie Brasco, I recommend seeing that film also. 💯

Joe Pesci ad libbed the 'I'm funny, I amuse you' scene. Ray Liotta's reaction is genuine as he didn't know what was happening.

26:29 The silent "Is that Samuel L. Jackson?" :D. In full length they had an instant reaction when he walked into the scene, but then it was never brought up in the discussion =)

It's just unbelievable how much better Martin Scorsese is than the rest. His hit to miss ratio is astounding, and the hits are just some of the best movies of all time that I can't believe from one director.

The guy playing the FBI agent who puts them into witness protection is actually the real FBI agent who agent who handled Henry.

Yes eric now you can appreciate the community ep a little more

I lost it when Eric looked disgusted at the idea of tiny plates at a fancy restaurant 🤣

"One day some of the neighborhood kids carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You wanna know why? It was outta respect." One of the greatest lines EVER!

now they've watched Goodfellas, we NEED to get The Sopranos on a poll.

I think Heat (1995) with De Niro and Pacino would be a great movie to react too. I hope you will do it someday!

Fun fact the scene where Joe and Ray were in the restaurant laughing about how joe was funny was actually adlib it wasn't part of the script but the director liked it so much it was added to the movie and I'm so glad

Joe Pesci won the best supporting actor oscar for this movie. For his speech he said, "It's my privilege, thank you". It's the shortest ever.

The scene where Paulie smacks Henry in his back yard was improvised by Scorsese. Notice Liotta’s reaction, he wasn’t expecting that shit.

Rest in Peace Ray Liotta

Not a movie but I want them to react to the Sopranos

Would love to see them react to Taxi Driver and Raging Bull someday as well

To this day I still prefer Casino, but Goodfelllas has tons of classic lines and scenes it’s hard not to love it as well. 2 masterpieces from Scorsese.

Easily one of my all-time favorite movies! It's hard to describe but it has a sort of rhythm - it just easily flows from scene to scene almost like a piece of music or something. I also notice how fluid the camera is - almost every shot has movement either within the frame or the camera itself moves. (One other movie that I feel the same way about is the Coen brothers' 'Fargo'. It has that same sense of rhythm and flow.)

I really wished these guys had watched this masterpiece before they saw the Community episode “Contemporary American Poultry” aka the Mafia Movie episode.😂😂 Also I still can’t believe why this movie lost Best Picture at the Oscars to Dances With Wolves. Don’t get me wrong, I love that movie, but it does NOT have the legendary film status that this movie does. RIP Ray Liota and Paul Sorvino

It was always wild to me that Henry Hill used to be a frequent caller and guest on Howard Stern. Also, one of the gangsters he mentions in a voiceover early on, Michael Franzese, has a big KZfaq channel now where he talks about how real mob movies are, etc. It's interesting to hear his side/inside stuff on this movie, The Irishman, etc, since he was literally there for that stuff.

Every time I watch this movie I'm taken aback by how well it captures the shifting mood, just so much truly perfect filmmaking. Incredible script and performances too, and some of my favorite (and the most iconic) editing of all time. Man, what a film.

One of the all time classics and one of my favourite movies.

Eric: "I thought that was going to be worse honestly " Calvin: " It was pretty bad". OMG I can't with you guys 😂. Love the channel btw.

Im so glad you guys watched this! Love that you guys are watching some classic mainstream movies especially with the perspectives of people who have never seen them before.

The movie "My Blue Heaven", starring Steve Martin, is an incidental sequel to "Good Fellas". Martin and Ray Liotta both play Henry Hill, the former played his experience in the witness protection program.

The "Funny guy" scene was completely improvised including Henry's reaction. The director loved it so much he had no choice but to keep the scene.

Yes, this was really based on a true story. Henry was such a character. He was a frequent guest on the Howard Stern Show through the 90's and 2000's.

SOPRANOS REACTION BY THE END OF THE YEAR PLEASE. The bartender kid who got shot in the foot and later gets murdered was Uriel from Lucifer. He also plays a really important character in the THE SOPRANOS. PLEASE GET TO THAT SHOW THEN WATCH THE WIRE AND Oz, HBOs best shows imo

Ray Liottas laugh is legendary. RIP. Love this movie. A masterpiece and in my top 10 movies of all time. So glad you're finally watching it. Reminds me of the times my father grew up in Philly at literally the exact same time as far as the years and their ages. Crazy. So many stories. He was a great guy though and I don't mean all the brutal stuff if that makes sense. It's just crazy how different things were back then. The shot with Deniro smoking at the bar was always his favorite scene. Wish you didn't cut it out. I lost my father early this year to covid, unexpectedly obviously. Double pneumonia. He battled for 5 weeks. Love you dad. Miss you everyday. I hear time heals all wounds, but so far that hasn't been the case. And today is one of those bad days. Thanks for the reaction,. Hopefully it starts getting easier. This helped

Based on this reaction, they’ve never seen The Sopranos

"Gangs of New York" is by far my favorite Scorsese film it's like a Grimm's fairy tale about the early gangsters of New York in 1863.

Joe Pesci should have been paid for two jobs with this picture. One for playing the wise guy Tommy, and the other as a wise guy authenticity consultant. He grew up surrounded by real connected guys in NJ and mirrored a lot of his improvised dialogue after things he heard as a teenager.

That was a fun watch with y'all, thanks for that! To this day, it has the number one image+sound brain-burn in cinema for me; hearing Layla, I instantly see garbage bags tumbling over each other in slow motion. What a sequence. I remember reading somewhere that Henry Hill went to see the movie and actually wrote a review of it for either GQ or Details mag. Fun fact: talk about influences... when Danny Boyle was making Trainspotting, he wanted to homage Scorsese's use of song/soundtrack to denote the time/era.

One of the main reasons that the real life Tommy was killed is that he approached Karen Hill for sex. When she refused, he tried to rape her. Karen was having an affair with Paulie at the time, and when she told him what happened he was enraged. He went to the Gambino family and told them that Tommy had killed Batts, as not turning him over for killing a made Gambino family man could risk a mob war. Tommy’s violent temper was also bringing unwanted attention. It was believed that John Gotti, who was a close friend of Billy Batts, personally murdered Tommy, and contrary to the film, his death was slow and torturous. His body was never found.

Growing up in NYC, every neighborhood had a cabstand that had no cabs, and/or a barbershop where they didn't cut hair. And also there was an Italian American Social Club that would throw the greatest 4th of July block parties. I miss those days.

The FBI agent who talked with Henry Hill and his wife about the witness protection program is the actual agent who dealt with the real Henry Hill.

I can't hear Layla anymore without thinking about dead bodies being found all around Queens.

I would love for them do do a re-reaction the the Community Chicken Finger episode after this

“ Donnie brasco “ next please!

that scene of the music playing over the pink caddy and dead people, has stayed with me for 30 years. every time I hear Layla by Clapton, it instantly brings me back. Surreal

R.I.P. Ray Liotta, Tony Sirico, and, Paul Sorvino.

My favourite Movie from my favourite Director. Glad you guys enjoyed it!!

Easily one of my favourites of all time. Lost count of the amount times I've seen it...and never gets old. Just perfect.

Damn honestly can't believe you haven't seen Goodfellas, but this is a welcome surprise to my morning!

RIP, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino.

52:07 Heat is Michael Mann and is one of the all time greats, I pray it makes it onto a poll or you guys choose to watch it real soon.

My Blue Heaven, staring Steve Martin.was also based on Henry Hill after witness protection. It was actually released a month before Goodfellas.

I’ve seen Goodfellas so many times but I never realized The guy who played spider was also Uriel from Lucifer

Big props to the person that edited this reaction. Great job.

Micael Franzese, who was mentioned in the bar scene is a real ex mafia Captain….huge KZfaq channel now….awesome man

Goodfellas is a top 5 movie of all time for me. It's just such an up and down emotional ride. It's grounded and gritty. I'm gonna miss him.

Shoutout to Eric for noticing something I’ve never noticed before. He’s always smoking a cigar, except in the scene where he picks Tommy up to get made. Nice foreshadowing from Scorcese

*An absolute certified classic.*

Of all the films these guys havent watched, I'm glad this was one of them. The reaction was gold

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE! So happy to see this reaction!

Blind wave crew now has to watch Casino. 10/10

I swear to god, the first big reaction channel to watch the Sopranos is gonna make a killing

I know it’s not really the most hilarious or important of scenes, but I just love when he’s rattling off all the gangsters he’s working with and the nicknames. It just makes me chuckle and I don’t know why. Lol

This was fantastic. Thank you! Oh man, Eric you MUST see Heat (1995).

Henry Hill , while in the witness program would pop up in NYC & drop in on the Howard Stern radio show . Gangster would call in to threaten him & he would laugh it off & say “ you know where I am right now , so do something !” . But once day when he popped in , Spiders sister called in & begged him to tell her where spiders body was , so they could bury him . Hill pleaded ignorance

The Dinner in Prison scene is one of the greatest individual scenes in any movie ever.

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be in a Mafia Movie..."

The dialogue is so real

Regular people: "What have I seen? What haven't I seen?" Eric: "What have I seen? What have I haven't?"

Joe Pesci 5'4" 128 lbs played a guy Tommy DeVito in the film, in real life Thomas DeSimone was 6'4" 230 lbs and still made him menacing yet DeSimone was far more violent and psychotic than he is portrayed in this movie.

Would love to see blind wave react to the tv show The Sopranos!

what a timeless movie, one of the classics. great reaction!

Yes! Thank you! Can't wait to see it! I don't know if you brought it up in the full length reaction, but stacks is played by Samuel L Jackson

Oh and the music in this movie.. just great

Two Rules of Goodfellas: 1. Never bust your friend's balls 2. And always avoid busting balls.

That one shot... good lord it amazes me every time I see it.

My favourite film of the '90s. Good reaction, guys.

Marty Scorsese's mother played Tommy's mom in the movie. She also was in Casino, Godfather 3, and I think Who's got mail.

When I watched this I wondered if you guys had seen Heat, which is a Michael Mann movie, and then when I heard Eric say he had not seen it, I had to comment...you should make that one you watch and react to boys, ASAP, it is INSANELY great...thanks for the great content as always.

"Now your spare is a flat." LOL good point!

All the movies you see today where they put in snippets of songs to illustrate a scene come from the concept of scorceses' "Needle Drops" in this movie. is something som ubiquitous now we take it for granted.

This is one of the best things I have ever woken up too. Let's go

Certain movies you can watch over and over and not get tired of this is one of mine

Guys Late Paul Sorvino aka Paulie Cicero was worrying about the role for Paul Cicero (real Paul Vario) because he wasn't sure he is intimidating enough for role. Because Paul Sorvino done comedies, singing and artworks. Paul developed the intimidating stare

You will see Goodfellas a few times over the next few years pop up on tv, and it will be around the 3rd viewing when you will realise how amazing this movie truly is.

It's also just moral cowardice and the inability to love. They all act like best friends, but they all also fear and despise each other, so that as soon as its convenient, or necessary to off one another, they have no compunction at all. They give each other the freedom to do whatever they want, but at no point is there any acceptance of self-sacrifice to help each other. You can do whatever you like as long as you don't ask me to put you before me. Not being bound by the law also means not being bound by common decency or loyalty or friendship. And in the end they have no freedom, either because they live most of their lives in jail, or because they live in fear of each other and the feds. They can do whatever they like, except build up a real life on real relationships and real love, which would require moral backbone, self-control and self-denial.

I like how when naming 90s mob movies, he named Goodfellas, then one from 1973 and one from 2007.

Fun fact. Right before Morrie is killed he mentions a point shaving in Boston. That was a reference to a real point shaving scandal with the Boston College basketball team that the real life Deniro and Liotta characters were a part of. Watched a documentary about the scandal on ESPN and they even had the real Henry Hil talk about it. Great watch.

Lol every time I watch this movie or see a reaction it reminds me of film school getting assigned this film in my Scorsese class 😂

One dog goes one way, other dog goes the other way.

Famously Fargo (the movie, not the tv show) begins with a "based on a true story" title card when it is entirely fictional.
