The guy is a genius! And Casino has the best of Scorsese, a true masterpiece and the master paints the film as if it were a biblical tragedy! It was for this film that he should have won the Oscar. This film should have won the Oscar for best film, direction, actress, adapted screenplay, editing and photography! You should make a video just talking about the importance of this film and Sharon Stone's amazing and iconic performance in this film!
Honestly, almost every Scorsese movie is a gem and are very rewatchable imo. The acting, direction, the camera work, the editing, the writing… it’s all just GREAT in his movies. He’s a master of his craft and easily is the GOAT
It's always Casino for me. I must rewatch every 6 months. I don't know why, lol. I couldn't be any further from a gangster and yet I'm obsessed with the films. Maybe it's what you said about female performances. In one film Sharon Stone shows us everything a woman wants to be and everything we're afraid of becoming
The Departed may be the most rewatchable Martin Scorsese film for me. It has only aged like wine, and is highly quotable with the best performance from Leonardo DiCaprio of his career. This is the film he should've won his Best Actor Oscar for in my opinion.
In my opinion, the irishman is very underrated. for me, personally, I think this movie is perfect. It does everything really good and the plot combined with Martin Scoresese's storytelling ability is nothing but amazing.
For me Casino is my favorite Martin Scorsese's film Sharon Stone is absolutely brilliant as Ginger and her chemistry with Robert De Niro is great. It should been nominated in Best picture, best director, best actor and best supporting actor, best adapted screenplay and costume design. Another movie that is also one of my favorite movies by Martin Scorsese is New York,New York I love it because I love musicals
Yes, yes yes! A thousand times YES. Casino is a masterpiece of cinema and Scorsese's best film. And as you say, Sharon Stone flawless & iconic performance seals the deal.
My Top 10: 10. New York, New York 9. After Hours 8. The Aviator 7. Shutter Island 6. Hugo 5. The Wolf of Wall Street 4. Silence 3. Raging Bull 2. Goodfellas 1. Taxi Driver
Honestly, you could have any variation of the top three and not be objectively wrong. Those are the most earth-shattering films in a filmography that has unparalleled depth.
I recently read Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence and realised how faithful Scorsese was to the novel. And Brian, you're so right when you said Martin Scorsese brings out the best in his female actors. That finale in New York, New York is still one of my favourite Liza Minnelli movie moments.
My top 10 Martin Scorsese films: 10. New York, New York 9. Shutter Island 8. The King of Comedy 7. The Aviator 6. Goodfellas 5. The Irishman 4. The Departed 3. Mean Streets 2. Raging Bull 1. Taxi Driver Scorsese should have Academy Awards for Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas in addition to his Best Director Oscar for The Departed. Those films should also have won Best Picture. Thank you for the video Brian, keep up the great work and take care.
Great top 10 list. Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Casino, Wolf Of Wall Street, and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore are among my all time favorites and I am so so excited to see Killers Of The Flower Moon in 11 days. Another cool video, Brian 😎
I'm honestly shocked that After Hours is not on here. After Hours is easily my favorite Scorsese film. It felt like the transition between the old and new Scorsese. It's so original and unique and tightly paced.
The Age of Innocence was my late mother’s favorite movie. I remember going with her to see it in the theaters twice. Then when it came out on DVD she bought it right away and watched it constantly.
In comparison between The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York as the DDL/Scorsese collaboration, The Age of Innocence is a better movie as whole (writing, directing, pacing, editing etc) whereas Gangs of New York has a better DDL performance
We have almost the exact same top 5. The only difference with mine is that my number 5 is The King of Comedy and number 4 is Casino. The main reason being I find Casino to be more watchable. But The King of Comedy is still an incredible movie, its easily one of the greatest satires ever made, even if it makes me squirm every time I watch it.
Gangs of New York - even for Daniel Day-Lewis' performance alone (and that opening sequence) - remains my all-time favorite; Hugo deserves to be at least a #6 or even #5...Raging Bull and Goodfellas to round out the Top 3
It's crazy to think that Leonardo DiCaprio has collab with Scorsese few times but never won an Oscar for being in a Scorsese movie. Atleast Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci each won an Oscar for being in a Scorsese movie, but Leo hasn't win any for being in a Scorsese movie? That's crazy
@@ChrolliForever Leo in The Wolf of Wall Street is on par with anything De Niro and Pesci stars in their respective Scorsese movies dude. Yeah he's that good 🤷
While this is a great list, I definitely would’ve put The Departed and Wolf of Wall Street up there in Top 3. The movies are insanely good and so rewatchable. Leo is just so so good in both!!
Scorsese movies are basically 70% classics and 30% underrated. Happy to see Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and The Age of Innocence as in my opinion, two of Scorsese's most underrated movie. Sure Ellen Burstyn won an Oscar for being in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore but barely anyone talks about that movie when it comes to Scorsese. I also wanna point out Hugo, another underrated flick of his which was his love letter to cinema and one of the greatest use of 3D I've seen. A great steampunk drama movie to watch with the whole family, there's just something unique inside that masterpiece
Kundun, Cape Fear, Silence, and The Last Temptation of Christ are masterpieces to me, too. I could also put After Hours and The Age of Innocence on here.
This video is utterly brilliant and I loved every second of it! I’d swap departed with Hugo (which you aptly gave an honorable mention) Love what you say about wolf of wall street he absolutely was showing the youngers how it’s done! And equally insightful on casino not being good fellas 2, but a maturing of the characters, surrounding and risks presented I’ve watched many of your videos. Please keep up your distinguished, insightful and thought-provoking essays! Cheers!
I don't watch Scorsese movies(I don't always like violent movies and he has so many) but I have always admired his filmography. Happy to know there are so many of them that explore other subjects than violent gangs. Maybe I should just woman up and give his movies a watch. Edit: Just remembered I watched The Departed and loved it
Very hard to argue with your ranking here Brian, and yes although not his absolute best film, I too find Casino to be his most rewatchable film. I've long admired The Kind of Comedy and always felt that it was his most underrated film, so was absolutely thrilled to pieces to see Robert DeNiro play that role in Joker with it's wonderful homage to Scorsese's masterpiece.
Martin Scorsese never disappoints with his movies. He has made one masterpiece after another. But my top 10 favourite Scorsese movies are: 1. Goodfellas 2. Casino 3. Raging Bull 4. Taxi Driver 5. The Wolf of Wallstreet 6. The King of Comedy 7. New York, New York 8. The Irishman 9. Shutter Island 10. The Departed
Old Martin is so holy and untouchable, he can talk bad about Marvel as much as he wants (as everyone else nowadays) and he still gets rid of it. Martin is a titan.
LOVE your 4th position, that's one of my favorite Scorsese's movie, it is too underrated and it is amazing you mentioned it! On the other hand I can't stand you put Raging Bull above Taxi Driver and Casino 🤣 I would also put The Departed higher on the list. Absolutely agree with n. 1
1. The Departed 2. Goodfellas 3. The Wolf Of Wall Street 4. The Last Waltz 5. The Irishman 6. Killers Of The Flower Moon 7. Raging Bull 8. Taxi Driver 9. Casino 10. Gangs Of New York
I think you pretty much nailed it. The only change I'd make is I'd bring The Aviator in for The Departed as that's my favourite of that "lesser 00's period".
Best (1-5): Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Departed, The Irishman Favourite (1-5): The Departed, Goodfellas, Wolf of Wall Street, Raging Bull, Killers of the Flower Moon
After Hours, Shutter Island and Hugo deserve to be in the top 10 for me. Top 3 movies are absolutely untouchable. I simply adore Marty and his love for movies ❤
Very roughly, my 10 are: 1. Taxi Driver (1976) 2. Mean Streets (1973) 3. Gangs of New York (2002) 4. Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 5. Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 6. The Departed (2006) 7. Goodfellas (1990) 8. Silence (2016) 9. Raging Bull (1980) 10. The Irishman (2019)
Here’s my big hot take, I don’t really like The Wolf of Wall Street. It’s not bad or anything, but I just can’t get into it. I’m not really interested in anything that happens in it, and I also don’t find it very funny (Jonah Hill is also so god damn annoying in it, in my opinion, I just wanted Brad to kill him). Anyway, here’s my list: 1- The Irishman 2- Goodfellas 3- The Age of Innocence 4- Taxi Driver 5- Mean Streets 6- Raging Bull 7- The Departed 8- Casino 9- Hugo 10- Gangs of New York I still have a couple left to see, including most of his 80s films, and Who’s That Knocking at My Door. Planning to get around to The Last Temptation of Christ this Christmas.
I need at least a top 15 when it comes to Scorsese. I would add, in no particular order: Kundun After Hours The Last Waltz Bringing Out The Dead The Last Temptation of Christ
I must be in the minority. I think The Departed is his all time best movie, with Goodfellas a close second. I've rewatched it numerous times and have never grown tired of it. It even made me check out the original film it was based on. Most of Scorsese's movies I feel are solid but overlong (Aviator, Gangs of NY, Wolf of WS, Irishman) or just tryig too hard (Shutter Island, Hugo) to be noteworthy. The Departed I think is a complex interesting story brilliantly interwoven through the whole cast, well written, brilliantly edited, with no weak performances, and it doesn't feel to full of itself or overlong.
Taxi Driver and Cape Fear are my favorites. Then Raging Bull. Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street suffer from weak endings in my opinion, but they follow Raging Bull.
While I admire The Age of Innocence it feels like a lesser Visconti (The Leopard) effort. Excellent acting, sumptuous production, a cutting atmosphere, but it feels…cool. Not cold. It pulses with life, just a low key life. The emotional cuts are surface. They don’t go quite as deep as they should. But it is a genuinely funny film. Meant to be funny. And Mean Streets at 7? Come on, that’s a top five film, easy. Wolf may be the best third act movie of any director in history. John Ford, Hitchcock, Hawks, none of them match Scorsese. Casino isn’t my top five, but it is so ferociously alive it won’t be denied. Top 7 for me. Glad to see King of Comedy in the top five. So fantastic, so prescient, such a fantastic experience from start to finish. And finally Taxi Driver may be the best film of the 1970s. A truly dangerous film. Crackling from first frame to last. Floors me every time.
My Top Ten Martin Scorsese Movies 1. Goodfellas (1990) 2. Raging Bull (1980) 3. Taxi Driver (1976) 4. Mean Streets (1973) 5.The King of Comedy (1983) 6. Hugo (2011) 7. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) 8. The Departed (2006) 9. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 10. The Age of Innocence (1993)
Martin Scorsese is one of my top 3 favorite directors. Goodfellas is one of my top 3 favorite movies. I actually think Lorraine Bracco should've won the best supporting actress Oscar for Goodfellas, but they had to make up for robbing Whoopi for The Color Purple.
10. Gangs of New York 9. The Aviator 8. The King of Comedy 7. Silence 6. Casino 5. Raging Bull 4. The Departed 3. Shutter Island 2. The Wolf of Wall St. 1. Goodfellas
I would pick Goodfellas number one as well. Such a great career of amazing movies - but Goodfellas should have won the Oscar for Best Movie. I like Dances with Wolves but holy shit - Goodfellas should have won!
Can you do a video like this for Michael Bay since he’s the greatest movie maker of all time. Pearl Harbour, Transformers The Revenge of the Fallen and of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to name but a few
No "New York, New York", huh? I guess Marty didn't like it either. They left it out of the movie clips for his Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award (but they did play the theme song as he walked to the stage!).
The Departed, Mean Streets, The King Of Comedy, Goodfellas, The Irishman, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver are the best. Can’t wait for Killers Of The Flower Moon.
Why didn't you wait to watch his latest film before making this piece? It's supposed to be a personal ranking but you included one that you have not seen?!?
he should have at LEAST 11,or 12 ...in all fairness ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💥✨✨ I hate that The Academy cheats ppl.out of👁️ their 😮💥❤️🔥👁️ award ,OVER 😮😖& OVER 🤨😒🫨& OVER AGAIN .....smh .

This film should have won the Oscar for best film, direction, actress, adapted screenplay, editing and photography! You should make a video just talking about the importance of this film and Sharon Stone's amazing and iconic performance in this film!
The greatest American filmmaker of all time. And we're just lucky to have him still here in good health and making films.
Honestly, almost every Scorsese movie is a gem and are very rewatchable imo. The acting, direction, the camera work, the editing, the writing… it’s all just GREAT in his movies. He’s a master of his craft and easily is the GOAT
It's always Casino for me. I must rewatch every 6 months. I don't know why, lol. I couldn't be any further from a gangster and yet I'm obsessed with the films.
Maybe it's what you said about female performances. In one film Sharon Stone shows us everything a woman wants to be and everything we're afraid of becoming
My Top 5 Martin Scorsese Films :
5. The King of Comedy (1983)
4. Raging Bull (1980)
3. Casino (1995)
2. Taxi Driver (1976)
1. GoodFellas (1990)
The Departed may be the most rewatchable Martin Scorsese film for me. It has only aged like wine, and is highly quotable with the best performance from Leonardo DiCaprio of his career. This is the film he should've won his Best Actor Oscar for in my opinion.
Leo above Forest Whitaker that year? No chance. Forest swept the award season for a reason.
In my opinion the actor should have been nominated for an Oscar should have been jack nicholson for best supporting actor more than Mark wahlberg
In my opinion, the irishman is very underrated. for me, personally, I think this movie is perfect. It does everything really good and the plot combined with Martin Scoresese's storytelling ability is nothing but amazing.
For me Casino is my favorite Martin Scorsese's film Sharon Stone is absolutely brilliant as Ginger and her chemistry with Robert De Niro is great. It should been nominated in Best picture, best director, best actor and best supporting actor, best adapted screenplay and costume design. Another movie that is also one of my favorite movies by Martin Scorsese is New York,New York I love it because I love musicals
Yes, yes yes! A thousand times YES. Casino is a masterpiece of cinema and Scorsese's best film. And as you say, Sharon Stone flawless & iconic performance seals the deal.
Shutter Island is timeless
Good fellas is 1 of my all time favorite movies ever x
I agree with ,Goodfellas' at No 1 😍
My Top 10:
10. New York, New York
9. After Hours
8. The Aviator
7. Shutter Island
6. Hugo
5. The Wolf of Wall Street
4. Silence
3. Raging Bull
2. Goodfellas
1. Taxi Driver
Honestly, you could have any variation of the top three and not be objectively wrong. Those are the most earth-shattering films in a filmography that has unparalleled depth.
I also loved Cape Fear from Martin. I hope you make more videos like this one about great film makers.
I also definitely feel that “The King Of Comedy” is one of Martin Scorsese’s most underrated films - Casting, Plot, Performances…all stellar
yes, i agree KING OF COMEDY WAY AHEAD of its time ,& Brilliant ✨✨✨
Good Fellas, Taxi and Raging, are absolutely top 3.
I recently read Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence and realised how faithful Scorsese was to the novel.
And Brian, you're so right when you said Martin Scorsese brings out the best in his female actors. That finale in New York, New York is still one of my favourite Liza Minnelli movie moments.

Scorsese should have Academy Awards for Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas in addition to his Best Director Oscar for The Departed. Those films should also have won Best Picture. Thank you for the video Brian, keep up the great work and take care.
I'm stoked for this list. I hope Cape Fear and Last Temptation are on it.
Great top 10 list. Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Casino, Wolf Of Wall Street, and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore are among my all time favorites and I am so so excited to see Killers Of The Flower Moon in 11 days. Another cool video, Brian 😎
Sad to see Silence not make the cut... what an underrated masterpiece that movie is!
I'm honestly shocked that After Hours is not on here. After Hours is easily my favorite Scorsese film. It felt like the transition between the old and new Scorsese. It's so original and unique and tightly paced.

I couldn't agree more with your top 3. Perfect. Just perfect.
You really nailed it with this list! One can argue with a few positions, but this really illustrates how freaking great Martin Scorsese is!
It was actually Brian De Palma who discovered Robert DeNiro! Bit of trivia! xx
the color of money and after hours are underrated asf
It's crazy to think that Leonardo DiCaprio has collab with Scorsese few times but never won an Oscar for being in a Scorsese movie. Atleast Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci each won an Oscar for being in a Scorsese movie, but Leo hasn't win any for being in a Scorsese movie? That's crazy
Cause he isn't as good as DeNiro and Pesci. I like Leo a lot, but these two are legends, he will be one, but not yet.
@@ChrolliForever Leo in The Wolf of Wall Street is on par with anything De Niro and Pesci stars in their respective Scorsese movies dude. Yeah he's that good 🤷
While this is a great list, I definitely would’ve put The Departed and Wolf of Wall Street up there in Top 3. The movies are insanely good and so rewatchable. Leo is just so so good in both!!
Excellent video!!
I think “The Departed” should definitely be higher!
Just found your channel, really enjoying! Suggestion - Martin Sheen and the Elusive Oscar. Hypothesis - politics or Charlie for the omission.
Scorsese movies are basically 70% classics and 30% underrated. Happy to see Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and The Age of Innocence as in my opinion, two of Scorsese's most underrated movie.

Taxi Drive a classall❤
Cape Fear is such an iconic and magnetic film was my first experience with Scorsese then Gangues of new york ❤❤
I don't watch Scorsese movies(I don't always like violent movies and he has so many) but I have always admired his filmography. Happy to know there are so many of them that explore other subjects than violent gangs. Maybe I should just woman up and give his movies a watch.

Really preferred the original of The Departed-Infernal Affairs-Andy Lau
I think you pretty much nailed it. The only change I'd make is I'd bring The Aviator in for The Departed as that's my favourite of that "lesser 00's period".
Best (1-5): Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Departed, The Irishman
Favourite (1-5): The Departed, Goodfellas, Wolf of Wall Street, Raging Bull, Killers of the Flower Moon
After Hours is criminally underrated and forgotten about. What did you think of that movie Brian?
“Silence” and “The Age of Innocence,” as well as “Shutter Island.”
After Hours, Shutter Island and Hugo deserve to be in the top 10 for me.
Top 3 movies are absolutely untouchable. I simply adore Marty and his love for movies ❤
Very roughly, my 10 are:
1. Taxi Driver (1976)
2. Mean Streets (1973)
3. Gangs of New York (2002)
4. Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
5. Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
6. The Departed (2006)
7. Goodfellas (1990)
8. Silence (2016)
9. Raging Bull (1980)
10. The Irishman (2019)
Here’s my big hot take, I don’t really like The Wolf of Wall Street. It’s not bad or anything, but I just can’t get into it. I’m not really interested in anything that happens in it, and I also don’t find it very funny (Jonah Hill is also so god damn annoying in it, in my opinion, I just wanted Brad to kill him).

2- Goodfellas
3- The Age of Innocence
4- Taxi Driver
5- Mean Streets
6- Raging Bull
7- The Departed
8- Casino
9- Hugo
10- Gangs of New York
I still have a couple left to see, including most of his 80s films, and Who’s That Knocking at My Door. Planning to get around to The Last Temptation of Christ this Christmas.
I love Scorsese's segment Life Lessons in 1989's anthology film New York Stories, easily the best of the three.
My favorite Scorsese is "After Hours"
The Departed is my fav movie of him. Such a great movie. Should have made your top 5. But everybody has a different taste, and that is great.
I need at least a top 15 when it comes to Scorsese. I would add, in no particular order:
Kundun
After Hours
The Last Waltz
Bringing Out The Dead
The Last Temptation of Christ
Would hope for an update list in the event Killers of the Flower Moon makes into the list. Thank you.
Brian didn’t love Flower Moon so I doubt it would make it
I must be in the minority. I think The Departed is his all time best movie, with Goodfellas a close second. I've rewatched it numerous times and have never grown tired of it. It even made me check out the original film it was based on.

I would pick Goodfellas number one as well. Such a great career of amazing movies - but Goodfellas should have won the Oscar for Best Movie. I like Dances with Wolves but holy shit - Goodfellas should have won!
The Last Temptation of Christ deserves more love, very amazing.
Once upon a time in America director's cut.
Can you do a video like this for Michael Bay since he’s the greatest movie maker of all time. Pearl Harbour, Transformers The Revenge of the Fallen and of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to name but a few
Only Kubrick can compete with that top three movies
The Departed is fucking hilarious and I will not take it being at number 10 xD
I personally think the departed is the best scorsese film.

Can't argue with that top three, though I'm sure people might quibble over the order. I am not one of those people.
Love ❤️ GOODFELLAS 🎉
No love for The Last Temptation of Christ? : Or After Hours?
(It's insane how different these two are, but both great)
No "New York, New York", huh? I guess Marty didn't like it either. They left it out of the movie clips for his Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award (but they did play the theme song as he walked to the stage!).
I consider Leonard's performance in The Aviator as his best on screen.
I've seen Gangs of New York so many times that every scene feels like a cliche to me. 😄
What? No honorable mentions? 😢
How was Ray Liotta not a damn WINNER for Best Actor that year for Goodfellas - HOW HOW HOW? The Oscars sucks.
The Departed, Mean Streets, The King Of Comedy, Goodfellas, The Irishman, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver are the best.
Can’t wait for Killers Of The Flower Moon.
Damn I had to scroll THIS far to finally see Mean Streets?! Anyway. Hell yes. Thank you.
Goodfellas is the greatest American film of all time. Not debatable.
The Departed should be higher on the list!
No love for "The Last Waltz?"
I have to be honest I thought After Hours was going to make this list.
Why didn't you wait to watch his latest film before making this piece? It's supposed to be a personal ranking but you included one that you have not seen?!?
No Mention of After Hours anywhere in the video is honestly disappointing
I remember seeing Margot Robbie for the first time and being truly gagged by how pretty she was, i couldnt take it! I hate her 😂
Age of innocence no wolf of wall street no Cape Fear Yes 😐
