Not just one of the best Mafia movies but one of the best movies ever made period. This and The Godfather are movies I must recommend if you like gangsters, wise guys, etc. The movie is based on the true-crime memoirs of the real-life Henry Hill, whose novel with Nicholas Pileggi -- "Wiseguys" -- was adapted into a screenplay by Pileggi and Scorsese.. This movie expresses a lot of the gangster ways and how they really did things. This is pretty much a biography on Henry Hill, who as a kid always wanted to be a gangster, and he actually worked for them. It shows how a young kid grew up helping the mafia and becoming a mobster himself. Features masterclass performances from the entire cast and the blu ray of this movie is stunning
