This was an excellent movie about organized crime, but let's make no mistake, the fellas in this movie were not good....they were all bad. There's nothing good about being a gangster or mobster. That's right, there were no good fellas in this movie. Badfellas is what this movie should've been titled, it makes perfect sense because that's the kind of people these characters were. Mobsters and gangsters are criminals....bad people committing horrible crimes!

"Goodfellas" was a term of endearment that they used when talking about each other. They would introduce someone as "one of us", a "Goodfella". It was explained in the movie right before Tommy was killed.

You're obviously not familiar with the concept of irony.

They use the term Goodfella, or Wiseguy, as a way to say that someone is involved with the mob in some form of business. That he is one of them.
