Scorsese was genius at incorporating current great music into the movie..!! I think the guy who did it first was the director of 'Coming Home'...but anyway it's a great touch👍
I had a bad first date that went even worse. Some how We ended back up together the next week and watched this movie in my parents living room. Celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this year 8/5/2020.
This is one of those rare movies where the stars aligned. The right actors, director, script, costume design, musical score, lighting, etc...all at the peak that combined to make magic.
I'm going to go out on a limb here. Maybe one of the single greatest scenes in cinematic history! I'm not sure, but...I think this was done in a single take, with a handheld camera. If so, even more amazing. The Crystal's "And Then He Kissed Me" was the proverbial cherry on the whipped cream. This scene captures, for Lorraine Bracco's character, the intoxicating lifestyle of Ray Liotta's character. No bad for a construction 'union delegate'! Martin Scorsese is a genius filmmaker.
steadicam. fortunately Garrett Brown invented it in 1975 so we got to see it in Rocky and films after that. In fact many of the famous Rocky scenes are due to Steadicam like running up the steps in philly and then getting a 180 turning view. Movie industry people were amazed as it would have cost $$ to dolly track it and even get permission to do it. Scorsese used Brown to film with steadicam in a number of movies. Think of how many shots, like opening to McHale's Navy could have benefited from Steadicam.
In a movie chock full of them, this is, for me, THE seminal moment of "Goodfellas." Pure genius on part of Martin Scorsese casting Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco, and for choosing The Crystals "And He Kissed Me" as the musical score.
The people waiting in line outside the restaurant at the bieginning of the scene are the same extras that are seated at the tables inside the place. They had to rush in and take their places and looked relaxed while our heroes were walking through the hallways and kitchen.
Phil Spector's instantly recognizable "Wall of Sound" recording technique was developed so the songs could sound epic even on mono AM radio stations of the time.
I Remember the First Time I Saw Goodfellas Back in the Summer of 1991 on Cinemax a Was Completely Impress With This Movie, Automatically Became One of My All Time Favorites Because of the Story, Narration, Time Periods, Music, etc. LOVE IT!
This is Scorcese at his best. You know how she felt, I know. When my son dominated at the city swim championships. Everyone suddenly knew him, they all wanted to shake his hand, we walked through the crowd, it opened up for us. Unbelievable pride, love and respect. The song is perfect. One of the best movies ever made. Tell me no!
Like "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), "Gone With The Wind" (1939), "The Godfather" (1972), Goodfellas from 1990 is a Movie that People will still be Watching and Talking About Decades & Decades Later.
mael nathan yea the movie came out in 1990 but the film was base around the 60’s and 70’s and that scene was based in the 60’s. Cause they got married in 1965
I remember seeing this scene in video production class in college. My professor showed the class how this consistent shot was done with one camera and how it came out so magical.
Martin Scorsese picked nothing but black and Italian singers for this movie and it was quite simply a masterpiece , this song by the black girl group “the crystals” is by far the best selected song I’ve ever seen … it just goes so well with the scene
I remember when Ray Liotta played Joey Perrini from 1978-1981 on Another World soap opera. He stood out in his performance and knew he was headed for bigger things in acting roles.
BOY Scorsese is such a genius for picking music for his movies ..... THAT SONG HAS sooooooo many memories first love - first kiss - we were all so young with soooo much life ahead of us ... this song does all that
The title reminds me of what they said of the famous italian mob boss Totò Riina. Some people interviewed were completely disgusted by him, others went on saying stuff like "he was a good fella, he always said hello when he crossed you. He built lotsa buildings, he went to church every sunday"
Enjoyed the interview with Phil Spector, when he got a call in the middle of the night from John Lennon telling him that the song Be My Baby was used in a flick called Mean Streets. Spector traced it and got ahold of Martin Scorsese threatening to sue and pull the film for copyright infringement. Spector realized that Scorsese was new in the business and let him get away with it. No one really knows what happened between the two of them behind the scenes, but Scorsese used several Spector tracks in his movies since then, making Spector money from royalties. If Spector would have continued to sue Martin Scorsese who knows, maybe this classic of a film would have not existed today.
TRIVIA From the alley of the restaurant up to when they get the bottle of wine, is the longest single take ever in a major motion picture. Watch it again can you imagine the rehearing to get it right?
One of the best inclusions of a song in a motion picture...ever...just a great combination.
Highlander ? Queen who wants to live forever?
@@no-knickers-emma1112 highlander is complete dogshit
Song fits into the story, although in the end they separated and later divorced.
60 years later we're still listening to music like this.
Without doubt the 1960s and 1970s were great times full of musical icons, some of whom are still with us and performing.
As a 16 year old this music just feels different than anything released today
Rest in peace, you gave us one of the most iconic scenes in cinema history
❤❤
THIS is cinema. THIS is ART.
Indeed
There isn’t a single wasted shot or scene in this film. It’s as close to perfect as a motion picture can be. The best film of the 1990s.
Scorsese was genius at incorporating current great music into the movie..!!
I think the guy who did it first was the director of 'Coming Home'...but anyway it's a great touch👍
Yes that part
Awesome scene for sure beautiful cinema.
I had a bad first date that went even worse. Some how We ended back up together the next week and watched this movie in my parents living room. Celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this year 8/5/2020.
Joe, second date: all the stars were shining bright.
Awesome!!
Hell yeah haha 🤣
Hey, Hey how ya doing Joe.
I dont care
Amazing song from one of the greatest movies ever.
This is one of those rare movies where the stars aligned. The right actors, director, script, costume design, musical score, lighting, etc...all at the peak that combined to make magic.
Amazing tune never gets old.
So true
Ray Liotta looks so great in this film. I met him decades later. Same eyes and essence. Great actor and hilarious sense of humor!
And now he is dead. Ruhe in Frieden
perfect soundtrack ... beautiful classic
This movie didn't win an oscar for best film, director and adapted screenplay. What a shame
Thats why awards are bullshit. Brilliant film.
How could it, they all shot each other...
Al Pacino never won the Oscar for that godfather too.
At least Pesci won Best Supporting Actor.
Dances with Wolves.

Fuckin... perfection
One of the best OneTake-Shots of the History of Movies. Martin Scorsese The Godfather of Gangster/Drug/Money Movies A Genius
yup - Hitchcock and Orson Welles rolled into one.
And shout out to Larry McConkey, steadicam operator on that movie, for having framed this masterpiece of a oner, still unmatched since then!
here here
I wonder how many takes they did.
one of the many great scenes in this masterpiece
The people waiting in line outside the restaurant at the bieginning of the scene are the same extras that are seated at the tables inside the place. They had to rush in and take their places and looked relaxed while our heroes were walking through the hallways and kitchen.
I never noticed that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Phil Spector's instantly recognizable "Wall of Sound" recording technique was developed so the songs could sound epic even on mono AM radio stations of the time.
The dialogue in this movie is so pleasant to the year. Such a masterpiece.
My favorite movie of all times. Martin Scorsese is a genius
I Remember the First Time I Saw Goodfellas Back in the Summer of 1991 on Cinemax a Was Completely Impress With This Movie, Automatically Became One of My All Time Favorites Because of the Story, Narration, Time Periods, Music, etc. LOVE IT!
This song really goes well with this scene
"I'm in construction, I'm a union delegate..."
Danny! watch out. There is a tsunami in your ocean. Wait. Youygay huh. I'm sorry

She was the devil😢😢😢

Ja absolut. Und Full Metall Jacket ( 1987 ).
The 60's and 70's wow!!!
1990
mael nathan yea the movie came out in 1990 but the film was base around the 60’s and 70’s and that scene was based in the 60’s. Cause they got married in 1965
Nah I'm sure this scenes at the very end of the 70's early 80's
@@SurajSingh-hr4tu Literally got married in '65 but whatever you say.
Classics song and film both
It's easy to forget that this entire scene is a single long cut. It was used in my film class as an example of one of the best. I have to agree.
no one forgets, it's kinda known for it
Amo esta pelicula!!!
“Always here you two!!! Don’t you work??”
I grew up with Italians in Boston. Great people,very normal when you study Western Civilization you realize the great ideas flowed out of Italy
I grew up around Italians too, in the Bronx and later Brooklyn. Love them. Best times of my life
That long continuous shot is incredible!
The Zeitgeist of this scene is so spot on.
Rest In Peace My Man Ray Liotta 67 years old today May 27th 2022
spector at his finest- one of the many picasso moments in scorse's career- just masterful
For what he did to the music industry it's sad the way Spector ruined his life.
Man, this one shot sequence is just a masterpiece. It says so much with very little words and that song selection by the Crystals is just 🤌
All time great scene with LA LA BROKS / Spector song
I remember seeing this scene in video production class in college. My professor showed the class how this consistent shot was done with one camera and how it came out so magical.

Excelente película.... esta escena es digna de algún premio o algo asi😊
Great Film. Danny Devito brilliant.
Uno de los mejores planos secuencias de la historia del cine, con una adecuación entre la imagen y la música insuperable.
I loved the soundtrack.
The most iconic, perfect marrying of video and song of all time.
I'm a go get the papers, get the papers.
Family guy has now brought me here
Parker Sandahl me too
“Parents of a failing student say ‘what?’.”
Ian's Show oh I get it you’re not gonna make me say it
Women are so easy when you’re a rich gangster. “I’m a union delegate” 😂
Ray Liotta has the greatest laugh, ever.
Love this movie
Thank you Jeff Barry and Elie Greenwich, the greatest unknown song writers in history

This movie is just one incredible scene after another! ❤
There no safe distancing here.
In 2017 this song can be broadcasted and you'll see girls dance to the tune.it was produced 40 years before their birth,though.
Watching GoodFellas 7/21/19

I remember when Ray Liotta played Joey Perrini from 1978-1981 on Another World soap opera. He stood out in his performance and knew he was headed for bigger things in acting roles.

RIP Ray.........
the song was used before in another movie in 1987 "adventures of babysitting"
classic. love martin
This song was in the opening of The Adventures in Babysitting
That's the first time I heard it too, loved this song ever since.
