Best Martin Scorsese Film

Firstly I've been a huge fan of Scorcese since I can remember being a fan of anything , he was probably the first director that a really got into. Well I can't say what his "best" film is but I can tell you my favorite of all ; Taxi Driver.

I first saw Taxi Driver when I was about 9 or so, I'm 26 years old now. I remember watching the film then very well, and I remember wasn't able to understand a lot of the themes of the movie. One thing I did remember was the final shoot out scene. Seeing that as a kid, quite honestly changed my life. Sounds dumb, but I think that scene de-sensitized me towards movie violence -- and mildly traumtized me.

As said before, I saw this movie when I was about 9 or so and I probably watch it at least 1 once a year . Watching Taxi Driver now, I look at it in a different light, basically I've grown up with it. Still everytime I watch it, it holds my attention it has everything you can want in a movie really. I really can't say that about many other movie, this movie is nearly perfect to me. Taxi Driver to me is not only Scorsese's best, but one of the best films of all time-- to me of course.

BTW: Yes, I had a lot of time on my hands today.

Reviving this one; having rewatched/watched more of his films as of late, I would say my rough ranking goes something like this:

1) Taxi Driver
2) Goodfellas
3) The Departed
4) Raging Bull
5) Shutter Island
6) Casino

I still need to see all of his filmography and rewatch the ones I don't remember that well.

goodfellas all the way

Maybe switch Casino and Shutter Island.. hmm...

Casino was great but it felt like GoodFellas 2 just set in Las Vegas

Yeah, but I didn't have a problem with that!

Casino is my favorite. Of the three I've seen probably in this order:

1.Casino
2.The Departed
3.Goodfellas

Mean Streets

Cape Fear is my favorite.

😮‍💨 I have only seen Taxi Driver once and it was a few years ago,but I remember seeing it and not knowing what the big deal about it was,but I may rewatch it someday,to refresh my mind

🙂 Anyway,Out of that list,I would go with ''Goodfellas'' at the moment,I actually started watching ''Casino'' for the first time last night,only about half an hour into it,but so far it's been good

My favorites are Goodfellas and Casino. Raging Bull was also great. Never saw the big deal about Taxi Driver. It's a pretty cool film, but Goodfellas is much better, imo.

I hated The Departed. That movie was so overrated. Jack Nicholson was good as always (the best part of that movie), but Leo was annoying as hell (and slept with another man's wife. I know it's just a movie, but stuff like that makes me hate a character)

Taxi driver, my favorite movie of all time.
