A Representative Set from the master - By: S J Buck, 14 Apr 2006 
This set only contains one of Scorcese's great films - Goodfellas, more of that later. I haven't seen Alice doesn't live here anymore, but it is supposed to be very good.
After Hours is an entertaining black comedy with Griffin Dunne trapped in a yuppies nightmare worthy of 4 stars.
Whos that knockin' is effectively a dry run for Mean Streets. However, Scorcese was still learning his craft in the 60's & whilst there are cinematic references to many classic films you do feel that Scorcese hadn't quite found his own voice at this stage of his career.
Goodfellas is a magnificent film. Only the first two Godfather films are on the same level in modern gangster films. This film has pace. It moves from one classic scene to the next. I remember Scorcese in an interview saying "you want it fast let's make it reallly fast" - this was his reaction to the 80's trend in fast cutting etc, but he does it with class.
The three lead roles are alll marvellously played, & for me if I had to pick one, Joe Pesci would just steal the acting honours. This is a 5 star film.
The box is just cardboard with four DVD's in it. Goodfellas is the special edition which is much superior to the early double sided edition.
