Henry Hill, whose life inspired the movie GoodFellas, was born.
Henry Hill becomes involved with the Lucchese crime family, which is the basis of GoodFellas.
In 1978, the Lufthansa heist at JFK Airport, one of the largest cash thefts in U.S. history, occurs and is a central event portrayed in GoodFellas.
Henry Hill turns state's witness, testifying against his former associates in the Mafia, which shatters the organization and features prominently in the film.

Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.

Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
