Great movie! Quite possibly my favorite of everything Scorsese has made.
I recall seeing “GoodFellas” first-run at the AMC Marina Pacifica 6 and saw it a second time in ‘91 at the GCC Galaxy 6 during a “Warner Bros. Day” grand-opening retrospective. However, my most vivid recollections of seeing it were from numerous laserdisc viewings during the 1990s. Oddly, I never have bought it on DVD or Blu-ray.
At the time of GOODFELLAS release during the Fall of 1990, gangster films had a surge in popularity – THE GODFATHER-PART III, MILLER’S CROSSING and KING OF NEW YORK were also released.
<<< it’s official 20th anniversary isn’t until September 21st >>>
Actually, in some U.S. markets it opened on Wednesday, September 19 (1990).
I saw it opening weekend in Westhampton Beach, Long Island on a very rainy Saturday evening.
