When I worked at a video store during college, I would watch Goodfellas in half hour increments during my lunch break on the tape repair set in back. I probably watched it a dozen times a year. I can still sit down and watch it over and over again. It's simply jammed with fantastic editing, acting, camera shots (the long take from the outside of the club to the inside is *amazing*) dialog, scene juxtapositions... I could go on and on. It's never boring, or trite, or predictable, it's just an amazing film.Dances with Wolves was a very good movie, but I can't fathom how it could beat Goodfellas for best move, AND best director. Then again, I lost all respect for the Oscars when I found out Oliver beat 2001 for best picture and director in 1969. Ugh.
