'GoodFellas' 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Art and Details

DateTuesday, October 27, 2009 at 6:07PM
Has it really been 20 years since GoodFellas? Wow. Just think: Sam Jackson played Stacks in that film for a fleeting moment, and has appeared in 108 productions since. I'm not sure where I'd rank it all time, but GoodFellas is in the upper tier. In terms of crime films/mob movies, I don't think you can have a reputable top five list that excludes it. It's Scorsese at the peak of his powers, vintage De Niro, the perfect role for Joe Pesci, and somehow, an overlooked tour de force by Ray Liotta. And I haven't even mentioned "Layla" yet.

Warner Home Video will unveil the 20th Anniversary Blu-ray on February 16th. A cast and crew commentary is among the highlighted features. You'll also get a Henry Hill commentary, which features a former FBI agent, and three featurettes - Getting Made, Made Men: The GoodFellas Legacy, and The Workaday Gangster. On top of that, the Blu-ray will have gangster-themed cartoons from about half a century ago. Not bad for 35 bones.

As is the case with a lot of these anniversary Blu-rays, GoodFellas has a booklet loaded with photos and production info. DVD Active has the artwork:

I still can't believe Dances With Wolves won the two major categories over this film. Just astonishing.
