2) Goodfellas – 1990
Gross: $46,836,394
If The Godfather is about the king, Goodfellas is about the soldiers. Taking a street-level view of the life of a mobster (and notably giving almost equal time to his wife), Goodfellas showed the grit under the grandeur of The Godfather and even 25 years later it is a breathtakingly exciting celebration of cinema.
