No way! The way Henry Hill breaksdown what the mafia really is the simplest way possible and he breaks 4th wall at the end plus his unrepentanted stance is just.
Goodfellas is probably the BEST crime drama ever....

One I like about Goodfellas was that it told by some who wasn't in the mafia (He was half Irish and could not officially be MADE).

They actually did his character justice. I real life the guy Samuel L Jackson potrayed in Goodfellas as killed while eating a plate of fried chicken.
Black man killed while eating fried Chicken? That's a stornfront Wet Dream...
Godfather better than Goodfellas?! . . . Hell No!
Godfather was in the grand scheme of things, more grandiose and operatic, it was a romanticized portrayal of the mob, it was regal, and pushed the honor and loyalty thing heavy throughout the film.
Don't get me wrong, i like the GF, but to me, Goodfellas set the stage for realistic, no p*ssy footin, real life portrayal of the real mob.
Goodfellas not only gave legendary lines, it gave the audience a realistic view of the mob, the mob is not made up of ultra fancy, ivy league educated guys, these are vicious killers that are capable of some really sick shyt.
loyalty and honor is a lie, wise guys stab each other in the back all the time.
its a dirty, murky, extremely violent world full of cut throats, high on drugs. Goodfellas had that world down cold! Scorsese didnt need to travel to sicily or cali to make his movie grandiose, he made it a classic because he
captured the everyday wise guy and he succeeded.

Look at it like this:
Godfather was about the criminal aristocracy. Goodfellas is about the blue collar gangsters. The ones that ever get to see the big bosses. Goodfellas is 1st person and Godfather is a fly wall perspective. Yes Godfather is better. But Goodfellas is very good and about something total different.

Goodfellas is in my top 10
The Godfather was about the immigrant experience, crime, family, love, betrayal, loyalty, change, internal conflict and so many other things.
If you can't see this, you should watch it again.
