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

Goodfellas is a movie about gangsters. The kind that kill and rob and kill again. A very unglamorous movie, it tells the story about Henry Hill, who becomes a gangster, and his slow decay as he is exposed to the culture. Eventually he becomes an FBI informant and a price is set on his head.
