GQ has a terrific article on the making of Goodfellas.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this American masterpiece, the mag interviewed scores of people who worked both in front of and behind the cameras.
Lots of juicy bits. Some of it's news, some of it isn't (such as the revelation many extras were real wise guys) but it's all fasciniating.
If you appreciate Goodfellas you can't miss it. It's my favorite mob movie ever - exhilerating, virtuoso filmmaking.
