Best Martin Scorsese Film

Started by sithsaber4084 pages

I voted Goodfellas, but I'm a little miffed that The Aviator wasn't included.

It comes in 2nd I think, an awesome bio-pic of Howard Hughes, directed in a way that made that period come alive.

Of course, I've yet to see The Departed, and my anticipation for it is very high!

Taxi Driver's my all-time favourite, but it's still a tough choice when he's done so many other brilliant movies. Casino, GoodFellas and Raging Bull are all classics. Mean Streets could've been if it'd had a better ending.

I found Gangs of New York to be immensely overrated. The storyline was week, Di Caprio's an arse (Though he was excellent in Catch Me If You Can) and I thought Cameron Diaz was slightly miscast in that role.

Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant in it, though.

Tough choice. Its close between The Departed, Goodfellas, and Casino, but I chose Casino.

imho no contest: goodfellas

taxi driver in second
then casino and gangs of new york

Goodfellas
Taxi driver
Mean Streets

Just saw 'The Departed'.

New favorite Scorsese.

how come no one is sayin Casino that along with Goodfellas and Raging Bull is his best film

The Departed was ok but i guess i was expecting a bit too much with all the ghosts of these great films hanging over it it was good but didnt live up

Anyone who says The Departed is his best film is an idiot. Fact.

The answer is Goodfellas by a long way.

**** u

The departed and goodfellas are my favs

I watched "The Departed" last night, and my comments'll be up in the thread soon.

So did I.

Enjoyed the hell out of it.

After Goodfellas, it's my second fave Scorsese film.

In retrospect, I don't even feel as if a lot of these movies should even be included as "his" best movies ever. He didn't write most of his biggest successes, including "The Departed", "Taxi Driver", and "Raging Bull". He DID write "Goodfellas", and it's still my favorite. It just seems like he feels as if he needs to keep making gang movies until he gets it right, when he already did almost 20 years ago.,

he did strike gold with Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino

The Departed was good but i was expecting a bit too much

After seeing the Departed, I must say, Mark Wahlberg got the best part in that movie.

Classic overacting isn't Oscar worthy work.

tell it to pacino.

Of the list - RAGING BULL.

Not on the list - THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST.
