"Goodfellas" was the best film of the 90s.
No redeeming characters, unceasing violence and murder for a "plot."
"Raging Bull,"Goodfellas," are ugly, pessimistic and amoral visions of the human condition. Yes, they may be "realistic" as far as the people they portray, but who cares about such scum? Really. They are "Schindler's List" without... Schindler. "Art" that paints such a hideous picture is minor.
