Goodfellas(Updated) Screenplay (Faber and Faber Screenplays) by MartinScorsese, Nicholas Pileggi Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2000 by Faber And Faber ISBN-13: 978-0-571-20249-2, ISBN: 0-571-20249-7
"Hill's story of crude hierarchies, casual murders and collaboration with the police was adapted by Martin Scorsese and became one of the most outstanding films of 1990."
"This account of American films is balanced between subjective enthusiasm and objective analysis. Scorsese starts from his own childhood love affair with the cinema, when he discovered King Vidor's "Dual in the Sun" as a boy. The book is not an orthodox film history, but rather a genuinely personal voyage of discovery. Scorsese recalls from his youth the kind of films that had a strong influence on him: not only the prestige titles from ..."

Casino by MartinScorsese, Nicholas Pileggi Paperback, 150 Pages, Published 1996 by Faber & Faber ISBN-13: 978-0-571-17992-3, ISBN: 0-571-17992-4
"With the intensity of a Jacobean tragedy, Casino unfolds its tale of a love triangle between a gambler, his wife, and his henchman amid the glittering, festering Babylon of Las Vegas. The film makes daring use of voice-over and rapidly shifting points of view and time frame, leaving conventional film language far behind."
" From Hollywood's legendary Cocoanut Grove to the pioneering conquest of the wild blue yonder, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator celebrates old-school filmmaking at its finest. We say "old school" only because Scorsese's love of golden-age Hollywood is evident in his approach to his subject--Howard Hughes in his prime (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in his)--and especially in his technical mastery of the medium reflecting his love for classic ..."
"1993, trade paperback edition, with corrections, Faber & Faber, London, U.K. 137 pages. Stills from the film throughout. One of the triumphs of the 90's was the film based on this script / book."
"Welcome to the world of New York organised crime; of heists, extortion, family, gambling, molls and casual violence. This is the book that inspired the film, written by Nicholas Pileggi in 1985 and originally entitled Wiseguy. Martin Scorsese read it, contacted Pileggi who apparently "had been waiting for this phone call all my life", and between them they wrote the screenplay for the hugely popular 1990 movie. The resulting blend ..."
"Martin Scorsese's powerful drama tells the story of J.R. (Harvey Keitel), a typical Italian-American boy who has grown up in a comfortable middle-class urban environment. But in that same environment he encounters the decisive split between tradition and his Catholic faith, in addition to the realities of modern life. Out of work but not in need of cash, J.R. carouses with his buddies in the bars and social clubs of Little Italy. He dra ..."

""Rien ne va plus, il y a quelque chose de pourri au royaume de l'Amérique", semble chuchoter la caméra démiurgique de Martin Scorsese. Proche des Affranchis, dont il reprend le procédé de la voix-off et la structure ascension/destruction – les deux films sont coécrits par Nick Pillegi – sans oublier les figures de la famille scorsesienne, Robert de Niro et Joe Pesci en tête, Casino laisse KO debout. Tel un tourbillon enivrant, ce flambo ..."

"Martin Scorseses 1990 entstandenes Meisterwerk GoodFellas verewigt das maßlose, erschreckende Leben des tatsächlich existierenden Gangsters Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) und zeichnet dessen Weg von seiner Teenagerzeit auf den Straßen New Yorks bis zu seinem anonymen Exil im Zeugenschutzprogramm nach. Der energische Stil des Regisseurs ist für die Nacherzählung von Hills rücksichtslosem Aufstieg zur Macht in den 50ern genauso ideal wie für die ..."
"Based on the riveting bestseller by Richard Price, this 1995 crime drama was directed by Spike Lee with such authority and authenticity that it has the hyper-real quality of a stylized documentary. Fully capturing the thoroughly researched detail of Price's novel, the film focuses on Strike (newcomer Mekhi Phifer), a young, ambitious "clocker"--or drug dealer--who works the streets of his New York housing project, selling drugs for a lo ..."
"His music has provided a prototype for several generations of blues and rock musicians, his songs remain current in countless new versions, and his own brief but astonishing output of recordings has earned gold records a half century after his death. Yet bluesman Robert Johnson remains among the most elusive figures in 20th-century art, the details of his life as shadowy as his music is brilliant. Johnson's personal obscurity make ..."
"With a new Introduction by Martin Scorsese.If Stanley Kubrick had made only 2001: A Space Odyssey or Dr. Strangelove, his cinematic legacy would have been assured. But from his first feature film, Fear and Desire, to the posthumously released Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick created an accomplished body of work unique in its scope, diversity, and artistry, and by turns both lauded and controversial.In this newly revised and definitive edition of ..."
"From the cinema verité of the sixties to softer fare like Splash, New York has provided some of the most iconic moments on film. Beginning with a survey of such classics as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Scenes from the City captures how the changing face of New York, as well as the founding of the MOFTB, have contributed to a particular school of film characterized most emphatically in the street-style work of directors as diverse as Martin S ..."

"Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, known collectively as "The Archers," wrote, produced, and directed nearly 20 films, some of the most opulent and imaginative movies of all time. And though the makers of The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, I Know Where I'm Going, and A Matter of Life and Death deserve to sit in the pantheon of great filmmakers, they wallow in relative obscurity. Moving effortlessly between biography and analysis, Ian C ..."

" From the moment he captured the film world's attention with Mean Streets (1973), a portrait of life at the fringes of the Mob, it was clear that a dazzling cinematic talent had arrived on the scene. With Robert DeNiro, one of the most talented young actors from this film, Scorsese went on to make some of the greatest American films of the postwar period, including Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), and Goodfellas (1990). A Scorses ..."
