While Ray Liotta was overlooked in the lead role and Robert De Niro gave a usual class act performance, it's Joe Pesci who really stands out from the crowd in Scorsese's 1990 classic as short-fused Tommy DeVito.

His "funny how?" scene went down in history as one of the most shocking moments of dark humour ever put on film. Pesci walked off the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. This next wiseguy got Best Actor nearly 30 years before.
