#3 Goodfellas, 1990

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."
"Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I'm free the next morning"
"I said, no more shines. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore"
"And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like: I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers"
"Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody"
"And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook."

Scorsese's best film

Called it.

What do you mean I'm funny? Funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you?

This movie is legendary for the 296 f-bombs... that's staggering.
