intotheshit: 15 Best Scorsese Films

intotheshit 04.17.13	Deleted any comments posted before I was done. And King of Comedy wasn't that great
ButteryBiscuitBass 04.17.13	1 is 1. Cool list.
Mike08 04.17.13	The Last Temptation of Christ? On The Ranking: I like Casino less than you do, and like The Last Temptation of Christ more than you do. I cannot find the King of Comedy on dvd, and Alice doesn't live here anymore is very good too. Also Hugo kinda sucked, was pretty disappointed for being a Scorsese
intotheshit 04.17.13	How did Hugo suck? That comment baffles me.
Inveigh 04.17.13	Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are the only acceptable answers for #1 in my book also I apparently like Gangs of New York a lot more than you do
GuanoBumbershoot 04.17.13	"How did Hugo suck? That comment baffles me." Some people just can't get past the idea that it doesn't start with Joe Pesci stabbing someone to death.
NorwichScene 04.17.13	I loved BIG PUN, the one and only son of Tony. The Departed was good
peaks40 04.17.13	casino blows dude. taxi driver should be second. hugo rules. The Aviator was really good
intotheshit 04.17.13	The Departed isn't terrible. It's very close to ingenious. And I didn't think Casino was even top 5 forever until I suddenly saw that it is Scorsese's "epic.". It's a soap opera without the cheese. It's so much more delicately layered then all of his other films, and it peels back those layers very slowly. I used to despise the pacing, until.I finally realized that it is basically Scorsese's "Godfather." Deliberate, self indulgent, and fucking gritty as fuck.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Lol Casino blows. It's one thing to say it's not your favorite, but to say it blows? You must have the attention span of a jack Russell terrier.
peaks40 04.17.13	what about the age of innocence?
JackSparrow 04.17.13	The Departed sucks? You must be a fucking retard. Pretty awesome ranking but I would put Departed, Goodfellas, and Last Temptation higher
peaks40 04.17.13	sorry casino doesn't blow but to scorsese standards it does, i found it to be a lot like goodfellas, i wouldn't rank it top 5
intotheshit 04.17.13	Age of Innocence is ruined by some terrible acting. And Casino is nothing like Goodfellas. The narrative is different, and it doesn't play off as a biopic at all. It's still a gangster movie, but the style is completely different.
MO 04.17.13	top 5 is pretty much spot on very nice, scorsese is amazing I have bringing out your dead sitting on my ps3 waiting to be watched, may do that today
intotheshit 04.17.13	The only reason The Departed won the Oscar was the Academy owed Marty a pity fuck.
JackSparrow 04.17.13	Have you ever seen the first episode of Boardwalk Empire that he directed? It's incredible.
BigPleb 04.17.13	Cape Fear is in Top 10.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Out of the mainstream directors, Scorsese and Tarantino are at the top by a mile.
Zeneren 04.17.13	cape fear and hugo should be higher decent list though, i'd put taxi driver first personally
ButteryBiscuitBass 04.17.13	Kubrick all the way.
MO 04.17.13	^^ and cronenburg bro
NightProwler 04.17.13	Awesome list, Scorsese is a amazing. My fav is probably the Departed, followed by Goodfellas and Raging Bull. At the moment, that is
intotheshit 04.17.13	Really Lebowski? It's a remake that doesn't hold a candle to the original.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Kubrick is dead, and Cronenburg has been so inconsistent of late.
BigPleb 04.17.13	I loved it, one of my fave De Niro performances.
ButteryBiscuitBass 04.17.13	DeNiro is a nasty bastard in that film.
BigPleb 04.17.13	I mean that scene where he rapes that girl and bites her face is so disturbing. Like TRULY disturbing.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Deniro is fantastic in it, no doubt, but have you seen Mitchum's performance in the original? Holy fuck...
NightProwler 04.17.13	De Niro is the best actor of all time. Of cause he rocks in Cape Fear!
peaks40 04.17.13	@intotheshit Casino was saved by the acting for me. here's my scorsese rank top 5: Raging Bull Taxi Driver Mean Streets Goodfellas Gangs of New York I haven't seen the color of money yet or king of comedy
peaks40 04.17.13	as far as mainstream ya scorsese is my fav along with kubrick
intotheshit 04.17.13	I love DeNiro, but he's nowhere near the best of all time. I honestly think that title belongs to Brando or DDL.
DominionMM1 04.17.13	7 and 15 are way too low.
peaks40 04.17.13	I love DeNiro, but he's nowhere near the best of all time. I honestly think that title belongs to Brando or DDL.(2)
intotheshit 04.17.13	Nope Dominion.
DominionMM1 04.17.13	yep pit
peaks40 04.17.13	also Jack Nicholson is one of my favorites. as far as a-listers
intotheshit 04.17.13	I love The Departed, but please give me any reason or reality where it outshines the top 6. And if you haven't seen the original Cape Fear, then I wouldn't expect you to realize that Scorsese's version isn't even in his top ten
BigPleb 04.17.13	The Departed is basically a remake of Internal Affairs. Very good movie.
NightProwler 04.17.13	" love DeNiro, but he's nowhere near the best of all time." That's fair enough, everyone has a favorite actor - mine is just him.
intotheshit 04.17.13	The Departed deserved the awards it received, but those awards should have been given to Marty at least 5 times before, and for better films.
ButteryBiscuitBass 04.17.13	Infernal Affairs is very good.
peaks40 04.17.13	^ de niro is up there for me with DDL
BigPleb 04.17.13	Internal Affairs is superior though, if you haven't seen that I suggest you do.
peaks40 04.17.13	I have to watch the original cape fear
DominionMM1 04.17.13	raging bull and casino never really did as much for me as something like the departed. as for cape fear, yes i've seen the original, but to me scorcese's version is so different that i really don't compare the two.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Favorite actor and best of all time are two different things. Pacino is my all time favorite, but he doesn't even touch Brando's work.
peaks40 04.17.13	^ have you seen Brando in last tango?
intotheshit 04.17.13	One of his best roles. The movie itself was a bit too much for me, though.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Anyone notice how DiCaprio went from being an overrated shitty actor to near phenomenal after The Aviator?
peaks40 04.17.13	yep
peaks40 04.17.13	great directors can make average actors look good though
BigPleb 04.17.13	Goodfellas is so good, Pesci steals the show.
intotheshit 04.17.13	Yeah, but DiCaprio has kept on improving, although I'm.not expecting much from Gatsby.
peaks40 04.17.13	^^yep
intotheshit 04.17.13	Pesci steals everything he's in. Hell, he's the only reason to watch Gone Fishin'
Killerhit 04.17.13	Goodfellas. Never seen a better.
NightProwler 04.17.13	"Favorite actor and best of all time are two different things. Pacino is my all time favorite, but he doesn't even touch Brando's work." This is Sputnik. I pretty much say "best album ever" to every Rush or Radiohead album. But I get your point
intotheshit 04.17.13	Should I make my Nicholson list one or tomorrow?
NightProwler 04.17.13	As long as you make it
Trebor. 04.17.13	D'you fuck my wife?
eleventhsun 04.17.13	Cool list. Scorsese is one of my hero's.
Trebor. 04.17.13	The hardest part of being a filmmaker is not ripping him off
peaks40 04.17.13	This is Sputnik. I pretty much say "best album ever" to every Rush or Radiohead album. But I get your point (2)
intotheshit 04.17.13	There's a very distinct difference between ripping off and paying homage. That's why I like Tarantino so much. Each one of his movies are definitely an homage to his inspirations. Django, for example, has Leone written all over it yet Tarantino takes the style and breaks it down to give you something that is all his own.
theacademy 04.17.13	goodfellas > casino goodfellas > everything tbh
intotheshit 04.17.13	I used to think the same thing, bit the more I watch it, the more the end drags....
BillTheButcher 04.17.13	this may be a shock, but i really really like Gangs of New York...
peaks40 04.17.13	^^^ lmao
EyesWideShut 04.18.13	ahh man i loved The King of Comedy.. damn it.
GodLovesUgly 08.06.19	15.Gangs Of New York 14.Cape Fear 13.Hugo 12.Bringing Out The Dead 11.Alice Doesn't Live here Anymore 10.The Last Temptation Of Christ 9.The Aviator 8.The Departed 7.After Hours 6.Mean Streets 5.Casino 4.The King Of Comedy 3.Goodfellas 2.Raging Bull 1.Taxi Driver
Rik VII 08.06.19	He did a ton of really great films but I don't love any of them. I'm also very sour on Departed but not because I think it's not good. It didn't deserve a lot of what it got, especially the freaking AA for the script which copies Infernal Affairs, pretentiously adds three hundred curse words and robs the characters of every inch of ambiguity (which was the point of the whole original movie). Gah. Like I said, not a bad film, but a disservice.
