Goodfellas a movie about Henry Hill and his quest to become a asshole and gangster, A character who is the exactly the same at the beginning of the movie as he is at the end. Truly the greatest movie ever made. Fuck You, Dances with Wolves for having character growth and shit.

I like both Wolves and Goodfellas but don't think either is particularly Best Picture worthy. But 1990 was a weak year for films all round... it belongs among the lame 80s rather than the largely more memorable 90s imo.

Dreck? This film is a classic, and will be remembered 100 years from now. Goodfellas has already aged a bit and I loved it when I first saw it.

The Oscars. They always like to give their awards to movies involving minorities, handicapped people, LGBT, etc etc
