5. Goodfellas is one of my all-time favorite films, but it's also one of the very few Scorsese films I've ever seen. If you like Goodfellas that much, I definitely recommend watching Casino. It's basically the same thing but set in Las Vegas instead of New York |

1.
2. Hunger Games
3. Cars? Because I have to say, the story of the hotshot young kid on the way to the bright lights and big city who is forced to stop and learn small-town values is not exactly a new plot.
4.
5.
