[RedSon91]

theres a hell of a lot of em, whats yall's favorite?

ine ties between Casino and the Departed

[dennisv]

Raging Bull.


The Departed is getting up there.

[Pulp_Joker]

It's probably a tie between Raging Bull and Goodfellas.
But for further reference RedSon, this kind of thread belongs in Best, Worst, etc. forum. No biggie, just letting you know.

Here is the popular thread for your favorite Scorsese films: http://www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=96325

Taxi Driver for me, though.

[The FamilyJulas]

GoodFellas

[chinton]

After Hours

which never get enough love

[Shockwave]

Taxi Driver or Bringing out the Dead, it flips from day to day.

[Scorpio24]

Goodfellas

Departed doesn't make top 5.

[RandalGraves]

I've seen all his movies but Cape Fear and The Age of Innocence

Top 5:
1. The Departed
2. Gangs of New York
3. Goodfellas
4. The Aviator
5. Taxi Driver/Casino

[JackassFan]

1. Goodfellas
2. Gangs of New York
3. Taxi Driver

[cocksmokinclerk]

winston, where are you?

gangs of new york!

[chinton]

nobody ever mentions After Hours

[SheLizard]

Sorry to Gangs of New York, which I flipping LOVE, but it's getting bumped out of first place by The Departed, which I *finally* saw last night, and really is as good as everyone says it is. Awesome.

[FilmKing2000]

From what I've seen...

1. Goodfellas
2. Raging Bull
3. The Departed
4. The Aviator
5. Taxi Driver
6. Gangs of New York
7. Casino

[Gordon]

My top ten favorites of his. I'm not going to give them all ratings but they're probably all almost 10's or 10's.


1. Taxi Driver
2. Casino
3. Raging Bull
4. Goodfellas
5. The Aviator
6. Mean Streets
7. King of Comedy
8. Cape Fear
9. No Direction Home: Bob Dylan
10. The Last Temptation of Christ

I've seen The Departed. I just wouldn't put it up with those tens - due to my Hong Kong bias.

[Derek237]

Bringing out the Dead, but followed very closely by The Aviator. But all of his films are great. I'm rarely dissapointed by Scorsese.

[chinton]

honestly is it just nobody has seen After Hours or Im the only one who thinks it's great.

[Lazy Boy]

I've seen After Hours, and I think it's one of his more underrated films, a perfectly tuned Kafka-eque journey into the dark SoHo district, with some pretty funny humor for a Scorsese flick.

I would actually put it after Raging Bull and The Last Temptation of Christ.

[blankpage]

I dunno, these days it's a pretty close race between Goodfellas and Taxi Driver. So yeah, those two are definitely at the top of the list.

1. Goodfellas 10/10

I still have to see Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, The Age of Innocence and probably a few others.

I've seen it too and I think it is great. It is one of his better and more original films.

[Hucksta G]

Goodfellas

Scorsese's my favorite director but I still have yet to see The Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, The Age of Innocence, King of Comedy, The Departed, Cape Fear, No Direction Home

[kubotakhan01]

All of them. Scorsese can do no wrong.

But if I had to Pick it would either Casino, Goodfellas, the departed, or raging bull.

[PSU80]

Gangs of New York. Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting is my favorite film character of all time. He represents every violent fantasy I've ever had.

[notchreturns]

I can't really rank the big 3. GoodFellas, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. All 10/10.

After that...

Mean Streets - 9/10
The Departed - 9/10
Casino - 9/10
After Hours - 8/10
The Last Waltz - 8/10
The King of Comedy - 8/10
Last Temptation of Christ - 8/10
Bringing Out the Dead - 8/10
The Aviator - 8/10
Cape Fear - 8/10
Gangs of New York - 7/10
The Color of Money - 7/10
Kundun - 6/10

[Sh8dy Milkman]

Departed
Gangs of New York
Goodfellas

[Brando @$$ Fat]

Sounds typical, but there is no way I can find one movie. The man has done so many great things it's impossible to come up with a favorite. The only movie I didn't like of his was Casino, which was a good movie by most standards but for Scorsese it was disappointing.

[slapshot63]

Taxi Driver.

Casino was my first gangster film and the baseball bat scene with Joe pesci at the end is so intense....So i'll say Casino with Goodfellas second
