No mention of Napoleon Dynamite. I think this poll is rigged! :)

Like anyone could even know that!

NO way. It doesn't come close to the Godfather I or II.

The best mob movie of all time, that's for sure.

I had been thinking about making making pasta lately and now the memories of Goodfellas triggered by this article seals the deal. *Goes off to peel garlic...

Any list that doesn't include "Raising Arizona" is a BS list. :)

Jaws????? tops the greatest movies list???? For this alone, all else is suspect. (Besides, as animals-gone-crazy movies go....The Birds is masterful and IMO Hitchcock's best.)

I love Goodfellas but having again seen The Godfather (I) this past weekend there's no way it can be called "the greatest" film, even if you limit it to the gangster genre. The only problem with the latter film series was the casting of "Annie Hall" as Michael's wife and love interest. But eccentric casting for female roles seemed to be a constant for Ford Coppola.

Goodfellas is in my collection, but so is the best-ever movie out of the UK:

"Well, I got A note...."

"They'd have to have it on a line or something."

"I'm invincible!"

"What...is your favorite color?"
