Its Official: Goodfellas is the greatest movie of all time!

MARTIN Scorsese's mobster masterpiece Goodfellas has beaten Citizen Kane and any number of Hitchcock classics to be named the finest film ever made.

It tops a "definitive guide" to the 100 greatest movies, pushing Orson Welles's 1941 classic into sixth place.

Total Film magazine, which compiled the list, said: "Goodfellas has it all - story, dialogue, performances, technique. It is slick, arguably the slickest film ever made. But it is also considered, layered and freighted with meaning."
