Well let me start off by saying that Good Fellas was definetley my favorite becasue of all the action that took place. The Bronx Tale had a very good story line, but not enought action. i did not like the Godfather because the story was very hard to follow.
The Bronx Tale and Good Fellas are similar in many ways. The Godfather is not similar like these two movies are. In both movies, the parents tell their child not to be involved with mobs. In The Godfather, the whole family is invovled in the mob. Only in Goodfellas is their drug business because in The Godfather, the Don refuses to go into the Drug business/trade. Both Goodfellas and A Bronx Tale take place in the 60's while the Godfather takes place in the 40's. Joe Pesci is both in a Bronx Tale and in Goodfellas, having two completely different roles. DeNiro also acts in Bronx Tale and Goodfellas.
In both Bronx Tale and the Godfather, there are ethnic/racial groups. Goodfellas is a true story and incorporates different races. The Godfather was a decent film but a Bronx Tale and Goodfellas were absolutely amazing, following a very good story line. Recommend all films.
*I think we should get into the war genre next like Saving Private Ryan and so on*

Citizen Kane
This movie teaches a very important life lesson. Money cannot buy happiness. THis movie follows a rich man who owns a newspaper company. He has all the money in the world and is very famous. He has no real friends. He finally meets a girl who has no clue who he is and takes advantage by not telling her who he is. he finds out she likes him for who he is and not for his money. In later years, his wife leaves him and he dies shortly after.
Vertigo
Vertigo is mind-blowing. THis is one of the films ive seen that has such an in depth and confusing story. When the main character is fearful of heights, the "Vertigo" effect happens. THis is one of the first films to have this visual effect. THe cliffhanger at the end just finishes the movie off with a bang. Great movie!
Notorious
Notorious is one of Hitchcocks films. It is one of his only films that has famous actors starring in it. It was about a Nazi spy's daughter who was hired to spy on the Nazis so you had a father on one countries side and his daughter on another. This was not one of my favorite films because it lacked the suspense of a normal Hitchcock film. I am not really into romantic movies but an Alfred Hitchcock finatic may be interested in this film.
