I think this is one of Scorsese's best movies, it's just really quite incredible. Such an awesome script and a funny, yet dark and enjoyable feel.
My top 5 of his films would probably be:
1. Goodfellas
2. Raging Bull
3. Taxi Driver
4. The Departed
5. Gangs of New York
Honourable Mentions: After Hours, The Aviator, The King of Comedy
What do you think are his top 5 movies. Hard to choose, hard to choose.

I'm not a huge fan of his work, but I prefer his lighter movies, After Hours and The King of Comedy. Others I think are quite ok are Taxi Driver, Raging Bull (altough its been ages since I last saw it) and The Aviator. His most overrated movie must be Goodfellas, I barely finished it.
