I asked my friend who also is a big fan of old movies what movie I should watch this week and he told me to watch Goodfellas. This movie was so good. Some people say it is even better than the Godfather because it has more action. That is just what I've heard because I haven't actually seen The Godfather. So, if you liked The Godfather then watch Goodfellas!


Goodfellas was directed by Martin Scorsese. Scorsese is an amazing director who has directed some great movies such as The Wolf of Wall Street and Taxi Driver. Goodfellas was released in 1990 and is also widely know as arguably Scorsese's best movie. This movie was based on real life events from the gangster Henry Hill but because his crime resume was so long, the movie didn't show all of the crimes that he actually committed. This movie takes place in New York, New York from the 1950's to the 1980's.


Robert De Niro is a great actor that has had many roles in his career. Scorsese must like him because he is in a lot of the movies he's directed. Jimmy Conway is the name of his character in this movie and he is definitely the boss. He is not afraid to get down and dirty with the jobs aka crimes he commits. Nobody messes with him that's for sure. De Niro makes this movie great.

If you haven't given this movie a try then I recommend you do. Especially if you are into gangster/ mobster movies!

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! My name is Rhyan Cropper and I am creating a blog revolved around reviewing classic movies. I am a huge movie fan and that is mostly because my family loved and still loves to watch movies together. I have seen a lot of really good movies and a lot of really bad ones so I feel as though it'd be interesting to try and put my feedback on certain ones in this blog. There are lots of things you could potentially get out of reading my blog such as you can find some good ideas for movies to watch or you could just get some entertainment out it. I am super excited to start this blog because I get to do what I love and post my opinion about it as well! Stay tuned.

Alrighty guys I have another movie for ya'll. This weeks movie I will be talking about is Top Gun. Wow I really love this movie. It has an amazing cast and a great plot line to it. This is also one of my dad and my step mom's favorite movies so of course as a kid I was forced to watch it. Top Gun never gets old. I 100% recommend watching this movie if you've never seen it! Top Gun was released in 1986 and directed by Tony Scott who also directed many other great movies including The A-Team and Crimson Tide. In my opinion the best movie he ever directed however, would have to be Top Gun. 80's was just Scott's peak because he did so many great movies during that time. Like I was saying earlier, the cast in this movie was an all-star one. Tom Cruise is an incredible actor and was perfect for the role of Maverick. His friendship with Anthony Edwards known as Goose in the movie is one that everyone would want. They weren't only partners when they flew toget...

Okay so for this blog post I'm going to talk about one of my favorite movies of all times because to me it definitely is a classic. Fried Green Tomatoes. If you haven't seen it, go watch it because it is just a feel good movie. It is also one of my step mom's favorite movies. To me, it's just one of those movies that will never get old because if it's on TV I'm going to watch it. The film was produced in 1991 and directed by John Avnet. Personally I've never heard of Avnet but he's directed some hits such as Risky Business starring Tom Cruise, The Mighty Ducks (which hopefully must of y'all have seen) and George of the Jungle which I thought was a cute movie. Ultimately I think that Fried Green Tomatoes was his best work however. So Fried Green Tomatoes has some stars in it such as Kathy Bates and Mary Louise-Parker. Kathy Bates plays a middle aged woman going through her mid-life crisis and she meets a cute little old lady at a nursing home who ...
