If I said that all American films were Crap then I would expect a bit of rudness on this thread. I never understand anyone who even think's that British film are all rubbish. I judge a film by good plot, good acting, good direction, and the way it comes across on the screen. NOT on the nationality of the country it comes from. As Bob Hoskins in one of many favourite actors of mine, I really enjoyed this movie. Unfortunely it appears they are going to make a remake which is stupid !

The person who started this thread is a moron !



The best films are made in an intellingent format

Lets be honest here Peter-1931, you are the type of person who has never let the fact they have nothing to say stop them from talking aren't you.
With that in mind, may I suggest you stop talking like a Kunt?

Goodfellas is great ill say that,

but that dusent mean that all other gangster movies are crap, and too say that all english movies are *beep* well.. well the others put it correctly...IDIOT!

plus the ending is masterful, the look on his face and the music...

You evidently don't have a grasp on the concept of subtlety.

Oh, Goodfellas is great. But that is Martin Scorsese's best. The fast that this is, according to critics, up there with in in Gangster Film history should say something.

Oh, and British films are far superior to American films. There just arn't as many of them.

Idiot.

Can I just add, at the point, that I believe peter-1931 to be a complete idiot.

I could go into details, but I think "idiot" will suffice.

"British films are far superior to American films. There just aren't as many as them"

Agreed.

Dumb ass

ok,
i like all gangsta filmsm i can safely say that i like goodfellas, godfather etc... however lgf has a realism that the others dont. Simply put, godfather as good as it is in my opinion is overacted. Goodfellas is very good yet again overacted. Im not saying they are bad films, far from it. But LGF has surpased both films. Its gritty and very to the point. That is how it was back then. It was that bad lol.
and before you say that goodfellas etc... is to the point. yes they are. But for me LGf has pipped them both.

All English films are rubbish? Are you including the entire James Bond franchise in that ridiculous statement?

Nice input peter.

Idiot.

reply

Yeah, because everyone is allowed to watch only one gangster movie.

You're way out of your depth here...

Yes Goodfellas is a fantastic gangster movie but The Long Good Friday is a very good british gangster movie, probably a little dated now but still an enjoyable film, and as for saying every English film is crap is a bit harsh!
