Goodfellas: Special Edition (Dbl DVD)

Description

Product Description Goodfellas: Special Edition (Dbl DVD)Based on the best selling biography, Henry Hill is a small time gangster, who takes part in a violent robbery with two ambitious gangsters. As his partners start to climb through the hierarchy of the mob, success eludes Henry. How far is he willing to go?]]> Set Contains: Finally, GoodFellas gets a worthy DVD release, with the feature presented in a new anamorphic digital transfer, accompanied by two separate commentary tracks. (The first DVD release was a two-sided "flipper.") Scorsese, Pileggi, and other collaborators are present on a patchwork and partial track that's too disjointed to be really satisfying; fortunately on the second track, Henry Hill himself is joined by ex-FBI agent Edward McDonald to chat about their own memories of the events depicted in the movie. On the second disc there are four new documentaries that look back at the making of the picture, its effect on other filmmakers, Scorsese's creative process, and the true-life background to the film. A gold-plated essential item for every DVD collection. --Mark Walker
