When discussing the greatest directors of all time, one person who is absolutely near the top of the list is Martin Scorsese. For decades, Scorsese has been churning out classic films and I don't think he's ever had a bad movie. It is truly remarkable that such a legend did not win his first Academy Award for Best Director until The Departed.
When it comes to choosing the best Martin Scorsese films, the following are my favorites.
It is tough to make a list of Martin Scorsese movies without giving praise to Taxi Driver. I saw this film for the first time in a film class at college, and I absolutely loved it. Both Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster were excellent in this movie.
Gangs Of New York was not a film that I immediately wanted to see. It was only after I heard so many positive things about this DiCaprio and Scorsese collaboration that I decided to see it. Daniel Day Lewis was spectacular as Bill the Butcher.
In an interesting choice of filmmaking, Scorsese teamed up with his new Hollywood favorite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio to make a biopic on Howard Hughes. The film we are discussing of course, is the Aviator. This is a great movie.
One other fantastic movie which Scorsese directed was The Departed. This, of course, was the film that finally won him the Academy Award for Best Director. While I think earlier movies were well deserving of it (Goodfellas, Casino, etc), this movie was definitely a worthy candidate.
The last movie I will include on this epic list is Shutter Island. I really did not know what to expect in this psychological horror thriller, but I knew that if Scorsese was directing and DiCaprio was starring, it had to be good. I was right.
These are just some of the best Scorsese films of all time. Chances are if you are watching one of his movies, it is going to be great.
