Storyline

Henry Hill might be a small time gangster, who may have taken part in a robbery with Jimmy Conway and Tommy De Vito, two other gangsters who might have set their sights a bit higher. His two partners could kill off everyone else involved in the robbery, and slowly start to think about climbing up through the hierarchy of the Mob. Henry, however, might be badly affected by his partners' success, but will he consider stooping low enough to bring about the downfall of Jimmy and Tommy? Written by Colin Tinto <cst@imdb.com>

Alternate Versions

A television version of the film was prepared by director Martin Scorsese, which retained a good portion of the film's graphic violence. It also retained much of the profanity, minus the F- and S-words, which were dubbed over. Scorsese did a televised introduction upon the film's network premiere. See more »

"We always called each other good fellas."

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."

"Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut."

Rewatchable at anytime for any reason

The cast is brilliant , and i really love Robert De Niro .

The soundtrack is everything and the best was rosses are red by bobby vinton but I do remember reading that actually his son robert vinton who portrayed his father in that role , Plus Life is but a dream by The harptones
