In honor of Ray Liotta, who recently passed away, the Rafael mob presents a special screening of this modern classic, which has emerged as one of Martin Scorsese’s finest and best-remembered films. Ray Liotta stars as Henry Hill, on whose story this film and Nicholas Pileggi’s book Wise Guy are based: “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” Through Hill’s eyes, this gangster epic tracks his rise through the ranks from the 1950s through the 80s and his partnership with two armed and dangerous associates, memorably played by Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci. Fast-paced, violent, profane and sometimes terrifically funny, Goodfellas is an unforgettable experience, anchored by Liotta’s remarkably sympathetic performance. Rated R for violence and plenty of language. (US 1990) 145 min.
