Should be some interesting obituaries in tomorrow's papers, tomorrow's papers.

I put a link to it in the "Snitches" thread in the flame zone, I felt it was appropriate.

Greatest gangster movie of all time, bar none.

Just seeing the trailer makes that clear.

Come to think of it, why the hell is this in the TV forum?

 

[High_Gravity]

Just read about it. R.I.P

 

[BakshisMouse]

Here is a Goodfellas parody that actually was on TV exclusively for a long time.

It's listed as "Discussion for TV, movies, etc."

Gotcha. Henry Hill's life was like a big, long movie, so it fits here.

Not being sarcastic, by the way.

Great book -- Wiseguy. If you haven't read it, you should. Then, when you've finished that, read On the Run: A Mafia Childhood by Gregg and Gina Hill (Henry Hill's son and daughter).

Great movie -- Goodfellas. One of the few movies that is at least as good as the book.

 

[BakshisMouse]

The movie is probably going to be popular long after that book is out of print.

 

[J.E.D]

Probably, but the book is well worth the read.

Not to keep harping on about books; but, both the Casino and Donnie Brasco book were quite good as well.
