Top 5 Martin Scorcese movies

Raging Bull
Taxi Driver (which was oringinally was supposed to be directed by Brian DePalma and staring Neil Diamond)
Goodfellas
Casino
Mean Streets

After Hours
The one about violence
The one about the tortured soul

Neil Diamond would have torn the shit out of Taxi Driver.

Doesn't really matter, he's never won an Oscar. The 36 Mafia on the other hand...

Yes, and Hitchcock never won an Oscar either, it doesn't mean much!

The number of times I've seen them could be considered revealed preference, so here goes:

1. The King of Comedy (although the reason I've seen the the most may just be because it's generally underrated and way underseen -- so I keep showing it to people)
2. GoodFellas
3. The Last Waltz
4. Taxi Driver
5. New York, New York

mean streets
raging bull
alice doesn't live here anymore
goodfellas
the last temptation of christ

his top money grossing movie is "The Color of Money", and that just so happens to be my favorite movie of his.

1) The Color of Money

2) Goodfellas

3) Raging Bull

4) Taxi Driver

5) Casino

ugh casino is terrible


Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
Cape Fear
Mean Streets
Kundun

Casino is great. So there.

its boring, de niro is miscast, the cinematogrpahy is amteurish, pesci's hair and performance are hideous. Sharon Stone is boring.

Nor has Altman; nor did Kubrick.

In any event:

1. Raging Bull
2. Goodfellas
3. Taxi Driver
4. Mean Streets
5. The Big Shave (the poll wasn't expressly limited to features )

If you're stealing jokes, get the name of the band right.

Yes.

No.

Probably.

No.

Absolutely De Niro is miscast. The book and the character are basically a nebishy jew with alot of power behind him. orignally kevin pollak was suppsoed to do the role whcih would have been perfect. but when de niro made time for it he got it. it was so bad seeing him trying to act weak in that fashion. such a joke. he looked so uncomfortable in those awful 70's clothes it was hilarious

I beleive this is because michael chapman couldnt do the film so scorsese used robert richardson for the first time. It seemed like RR was trying to "do" scorsese style instead of letting the film dictate the style. Also for the casino shots they had to load late at night and load out every morning, so they couldnt create consistency

Probably. NO DEFINITELY

She was so boring, and bad, shes barely been good in anything

You mean like, they are so good? or like "there are only five good scorsese movies at all"

cape fear was his top grosser until The aviator beat that

i stand corrected

Spice World
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Grease 2
Drop Dead Fred
Weekend at Bernies

If it were boring, horribly acted, or badly shot, I probably wouldn't have bothered to watch it seven times.
