Flashback: Goodfellas

Recounting the life of Brooklynite Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from low level gangster to crime informer; Goodfellas covers the complexities of his relationship with his wife Karen and mob partners Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) as he advances through the mob ranks.  

Based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, Goodfellas goes down as both a narrative and technical masterpiece.
