Watched Goodfellas again, great movie.
I always remember the ending wrong though, because Maffia has more or less the same ending but at the end the guy gets shot mowing his lawn.
In Goodfellas Henry actually makes it.
It's funny though, the only guy that the Italians could've send after Henry was Tommy and they wacked him. I also got the sense that Jimmy was always working against the Italians without anyone realizing it. He keeps busting Tommy's balls and helps with the killings. He wacks all the goons after the heist, to make sure no one talks (which is the one thing the bosses fear). He knows Henry is a wreck and just lets him fuck around. That's the hidden plotline I didn't catch before. Tommy wants to fit in, be respected. Henry is just in it for the thrill has no real agenda. Jimmy however is trying to take over.
