Except of course when a gangster is strangling you with a phone cord.

Charles (Chuck) Low, who played Morris (Morrie) Kesseler in the famous flick “Goodfellas” alongside his good friend Robert De Niro died on Sept. 18.
He was 89.
Low — a New York City real estate developer — got into the acting business after De Niro became one of his tenants in a Tribeca loft. Their friendship later blossomed into Low’s most exciting role as an actor, in which he starred alongside De Niro in “Goodfellas.”

Except of course when a gangster is strangling you with a phone cord.
That snowflake DeNiro is still alive though?
What am I? A Schmuck on wheels!?
I never thought he’d shut up.
“I want my money....”
RIP Mr Low
(but the movie was OWNED by Joe Pesci)
I don't think that classic was "owned" by anybody.Every major character...including Morrie...was portrayed incredibly well.
I agree.
The scene when Henry takes Karen to the Copa and they walk through the restaurant to me is a cinematic gem. Having worked in the hustle-bussel of a well known restaurant in my youth, it is spot on. And I suppose if your name in an vowel and your told in your ute about who the bad guys are and how they roll and to stay away it might ring home more than you know.. ;-).
Indeed. Try to imagine Goodfellas without Paulie. Or Billy Batts. What a classic.
If you got enough money for them _____ing commercials, then you got enough money to pay me.
If your name ends in a vowel you could be Japanese.

You’re a funny guy.
“Gimme my money! Today! Today! TODAY!”
He had some great lines! I sometimes use some of them for fun. Goodfellas doesn’t overtake Godfather but it’s in the top of all-time gangster flicks.
Wadda ya mean, funny? Funny? Like a clown? Am I here to amuse you?
I had a mouthful of coffee when I read that and about blew it out my nose.
Man, that could be an argument that lasts all day. Which is better.... Goodfellas? Godfather? I or II? (We’ll ignore that there was a III....) How about Casino? And, “A Bronx Tale” usually sucks me in when I find it on TV, as well.
