re: Boogie Nights… Goodfellas ripoff

And the iconic voice over narration... oh wait.

I don't see how this description applies to Goodfellas:

quote:

4. Seemingly fun, entertaining, movie on the outside is actually a dark cautionary tale at it's core. "You want this life, this is what happens."

It was pretty dark from the outset..

I also don't see Goodfellas as a huge period piece. Not like Boogie Nights, which goes so far as a blank screen to introduce the 1980's.
