Goodfellas is also a good movie. Won Oscars as well. Just isn't quite as quality as GF 1 or 2. I'd say GF 3 and Goodfellas are comparable flics. It's like comparing baseball in the 50's to baseball now, same sport, just played a little differently. Donnie Brasco is also worth mentioning here.

In case anybody cares. The Corleone compound that is featured in the second two films is on Lake Tahoe and has been remodeled into about a dozen condos. It's a pretty spectacular place to see. From the road it's all walled in and hidden, but from the water it's friggin amazing. It was built by the guy who started Kaiser Permanente.
