GoodFellas

Liotta plays Henry Hill, a real-life mafioso, with De Niro as his mentor in crime.

And while the bullets, fists and carving knives fly, Scorsese brings us back to that unavoidable question -- yes, it's glamorous and lucrative to live this way, but can anyone really live with the consequences? Winner of BAFTA awards for best film, director and screenplay, and a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Joe Pesci.
