Goodfellas (1990) is a masterful crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the true story of Henry Hill, a mobster who rises through the ranks of the Mafia before his world unravels. The film, known for its dynamic storytelling, long tracking shots, and sharp editing, offers an unflinching look at organized crime's allure and brutality. Ray Liotta delivers a gripping performance as Hill, supported by Joe Pesci’s terrifying portrayal of Tommy DeVito and Robert De Niro’s cool yet menacing Jimmy Conway. With its fast-paced narrative, dark humor, and violent realism, Goodfellasremains one of the greatest gangster films of all time.

The Goodfellas soundtrack is an essential part of the film’s energy, blending classic rock, doo-wop, and jazz to reflect the shifting moods and eras of the story. From Tony Bennett’s "Rags to Riches" setting the tone of ambition to the eerie use of Derek and the Dominos' "Layla (Piano Exit)" during a montage of bodies, every song enhances the film’s emotional impact. The use of The Rolling Stones’ tracks, including "Gimme Shelter," amplifies the tension, while the final sequence set to Sid Vicious’ "My Way" adds a rebellious, ironic touch to Henry Hill’s downfall. The soundtrack is as meticulously curated as the film itself, making it an unforgettable part of Goodfellas’ legacy.
