Yeah, no.<br /><br />Plus the last third of the film was just everyone making phone calls to someone else. It was boring, repetitive and un-cinematic.<br /><br />That said, I think I'd go with:<br /><br />Raging Bull<br />Taxi Driver<br />Cape Fear<br />Casino<br />The Aviator<br /><br />But I admit there's a lot of films I still haven't seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-60762143158939758832022-11-17T21:06:07.655-05:002022-11-17T21:06:07.655-05:00There is no denying he's a tremendous talent b...There is no denying he's a tremendous talent but I'm very variable on his films. Some that are venerated-Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Departed to name a few leave me cold and his love of excessive vulgar language (to clarify I don't have a problem with swearing just on an overreliance on it-I think it's laziness on the writer/director's part and takes me right out of the film) has ruined several of his pictures for me. <br /><br />All that said my top 5 are:<br /><br />The Aviator<br />Shutter Island<br />New York, New York<br />Cape Fear<br />After Hours<br /><br />I also loved his documentary about his parents Italianamerican. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-81889620551263264202022-11-17T16:31:50.748-05:002022-11-17T16:31:50.748-05:00Jason: I don't care for either Raging Bull or ...Jason: I don't care for either Raging Bull or The Wolf of Wall Street.

I just got the Criterion disc though so once I have time I've been meaning to re-watch. I remember being a fan but I couldn't put it on this list. The closest any runners-up get to my five-some is probably Goodfellas, which'd be my fave of his gangster movies. I also adore Casino. <br /><br />Honestly there is probably only one Scorsese movie I actively don't like and that's Wolf of Wall Street.

I wouldn’t put it or Age of Innocence in my top five, I would switch them out for Raging Bull and Goodfellas. Yes, maybe those are more “conventional” picks but I think for good reasons.<br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884231737615216680noreply@blogger.com
