'Goodfellas' was a waste of my time; wife and I walked out of it.

Just as you said, I considered it a waste of time.

A lot of my favorite movies will never make a 100 Best list.
Fer instance... 13 Ghosts (the original William Castle version), The Haunting, Poltergeist (again, the originals, not the useless remakes).
Or Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan . Or The Caine Mutiny .
Or Hope and Glory, Excalibur, and Deliverance , all from director John Boorman.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

Maybe Excalibur a bit... less so.
I'm (very slowly) reading a book on Goodfellas that's fairly interesting.
It's a fantastic movie, but one can get burned out on any film.
EXCEPT... Patton.

Supposedly, Goodfellas is much more realistic than The Godfather , which was pretty much invented out of Mario Puzo's imagination.
Some of the dialogue in Goodfellas was taken directly from FBI surveillance tapes.

There's such a huge disconnect between most books and the films made from them.
Deliverance is an exception (great on both counts) and so is The Godfather which was a VERY mediocre book at best, but made a GREAT film.
Book I'm (very slowly) reading is this and it's good, I'M... slow...

And Willie treats his girlfriend like shit. At the end of the book, it's not certain they'll get back together.
I loved The Godfather novel, but again I read it long before I saw the movie. My mom read it to us (except for Page 26). We weren't little kids, but she liked to read to us anyway. When we found out about the movie, there was much speculation in my family who would play Vito Corleone (our choice was Anthony Quinn).
