Goodfellas (1990)
Apparently I love gangster movies. Of course this one was shot back in the day when we didn't have to see all the gory details. Most were just suggested. They were well understood. Ray Liotta plays Henry Hill, a quiet young boy who gets involved in the mob and works his way up through the ranks. When drug addiction and a couple of mistakes torpedoes his career he decides to not be so quiet.
Goodfellas is a movie that typecast so many actors as mobsters for the rest of their acting careers.
