Top Ten Martin Scorsese Movies

The Top Ten
Goodfellas

Goodfellas is even greater than The Godfather films. Martin Scorsese perfectly depicts how there was a lot of mob business in Brooklyn during the 1970s.

Best mob film of all time. De Niro and especially Pesci at his psychopathic best! The use of the song Layla is amazing!

This is not only the best Scorsese movie. It's one of the best movies of all time.

Taxi Driver

Martin Scorsese has created many masterpieces, and Taxi Driver is his greatest work. With Robert De Niro, he captures the very essence of crazy. A cabbie in a depressing city, where drug dealers and traffickers roam every street, slowly descends into darkness.

Travis Bickle is one of the greatest characters ever to be put on screen. He gets more and more interesting with each viewing and is portrayed perfectly by De Niro.

"You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here..." De Niro says in one of the best films ever made. Truly one of cinema's best, and definitely Martin's best!

The Departed

This movie epitomizes Scorsese's excellence in understanding how both a criminal organization and a police department function. The climax is second to none.

Liked the Leo-Damon-Nicholson trio. But the credit for this masterpiece surely goes to the showman himself.

This should be the best of Martin Scorsese, followed by Raging Bull and Goodfellas.

Raging Bull

Of course, De Niro's splendid performance. Scorsese also succeeds in depicting the psychological states of a human. How rage and paranoia can destroy our life.

It should be No. 1, one of the ten best films ever made and the ultimate '80s masterpiece, as well as Scorsese's.

The Wolf of Wall Street

That movie is so funny! I will never forget the phone/kitchen scene. An Oscar now for Leonardo! Now! Now! His performance was awesome, at least! Congrats!

DiCaprio and Scorsese are the best team! Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, and now The Wolf! Just all masterpieces!

Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed, Taxi Driver... All masterpieces.

Casino

For me, this and Goodfellas are the best. Both are just a little better than The Departed, and I love The Departed!

Has to be my favorite one, but damn, so many good ones here!

Shutter Island

Everyone says that the new movies of Scorsese are not so good! I disagree. Shutter Island is a classy movie with the best DiCaprio. It's my favorite, along with The Departed and Goodfellas.

The best masterpiece of Scorsese, mixed with a remarkable performance by DiCaprio, resulted in an epic, classic movie.

A classy movie that teaches you what directing, acting, music, cinematography, and atmosphere mean. A classy movie.

Mean Streets

Mean Streets is Scorsese showing the world the world he lived in. It's his breakthrough film and one of his best. The characters are fantastic, the plot, etc. It's all great.

Hugo
Gangs of New York

This should be at least in the top ten!

A superb film. Daniel Day-Lewis gives the performance of a lifetime.

The Newcomers

? The Irishman

It is great. Don't listen to people complaining about it being so long. I don't remember people complaining about how long The Lord of the Rings was. I only remember them saying they were great films. Well, of course they are!

? Boxcar Bertha
The Contenders
The King of Comedy
Cape Fear
The Aviator

The Aviator is such a great film and yet so underappreciated. Come on, let's give some love to this one, which just happens to have Leonardo DiCaprio's greatest performance to date.

It's the best movie on planet Earth, the most inspirational, motivational movie in the whole of the cosmos.

The Last Temptation of Christ

This film should be in the top ten. It shows Scorsese's creative genius and features a very honest depiction of Jesus Christ.

Well-handled low-budget movie depicting a more human Christ. Wouldn't call it his best, though.

The Age of Innocence
After Hours
The Color of Money
The Last Waltz
Bringing Out the Dead
Silence

Just saw this, and it was a brilliant, thought-provoking masterpiece. It definitely deserves a spot in the top ten. Andrew Garfield gives his best performance to date, the cinematography is gorgeous, and Scorsese's direction was flawless as always.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Excellent and always underrated!

Kundun
No Direction Home
New York, New York
Who's that Knocking at My Door - Martin Scorsese

"The End" by The Doors was used in this movie before it was used in Apocalypse Now.

It wasn't as good as that Vietnam classic, but it's close to what we'd call a masterpiece. This was Scorsese's first motion picture.
