Goodfellas
Goodfellas is simply one of the best gangster films, alongside The Godfather movies. Let’s not forget about the excellent cast! We had Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco, and Jose Pesci together in a single flick. The best bit of improvisation was from Pesci who played Tommy. “Do I amuse you?” No comeback has ever been as tense!
The Silence of the Lambs
Anthony Hopkins is a great actor who has proven himself time and again. However, nothing can quite beat his performance as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. Several of the character’s mannerisms were actually coined by Hopkins himself! Case in point? That terrifying hissing sound he makes is now one of the most well-known traits of the cannibal.
