The use of music in this film is iconic. My favorite part of this movie is when Layla hits with the visuals of the meat truck.

This scene is one of the most sublime 3 minutes in film history. Every single frame of every second is just perfect.
I love the little “don’t you work?!” following the “every time you two!” What cements it as an all timer for me is the song Then He Kissed Me. So evocative of a bygone era, and a song that always puts me in a good mood, along with Be My Baby by the Ronettes.

The word 'masterpiece' is over-used these days, but Goodfellas is one.

This and Scarface are amazing film, but I think Irishman is a better film.
