4. Surrender Dorothy!

[FSogol]

5. Dorothy can only vote once too.

:

[klook]

10. Yes!

After Hours is one of the funniest movies of all time, and simultaneously haunting in a very odd way.

[Skittles]

11. it's really unlike any other movie I have seen

it is in a class of its own

[mockmonkey]

22. Yep, After Hours

I can watch that one over and over again.

[DinahMoeHum]

6. WTF, no mention of "The Wolf of Wall Street" ???????

HOW COULD YOU ????????

[red dog 1]

13. I only have 10 slots to use

The Wolf of Wall Street got Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Director, and was one of his best films; but which one do I take down to make room for it?

[whathehell]

7. The Age of Innocence

with Daniel Day Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder... Funny, you didn't even list it.

[red dog 1]

12. Scorsese has directed 24 films, and I only have 10 slots to fill

The Age of Innocence was a great film; but which one do I take down to make room for it?

[Glorfindel]

21. "Gangs of New York" was an abomination

"The Age of Innocence" would look much better in your poll.

[red dog 1]

23. Well, since "Gangs of New York" has zero votes so far....What the hell!

The Age of Innocence is now a poll option.

[whathehell]

33. Mea culpa, good sir..

I see your point.

In answer to your question, though, I can see it replacing at least one of the gangster flicks.

[red dog 1]

34. The Age of Innocence replaced "Gangs of New York"

I'm not sure that film qualifies as a "gangster flick"....i(t's been a while since I saw that one)

[smirkymonkey]

32. I agree. I thought that was a great film.

Depressing, but well done and quite true to the novel.

[whathehell]

46. I'm glad at least,

that one person on the thread agreed with me on the Age of Innocence...

What I liked about it, besides the thwarted, and yes, depressing love story, was the revealing view it gave of the old New York families, the One Percent of the time....The vacuous, intellectually constipated and socially rigid nature of that society...Thinking on it later, I realized that this was the society from which Franklin Roosevelt emerged, and that, in itself, is rather amazing.

[whathehell]

8. I hated The Departed so much

I walked out of it, something I rarely do.

[NightWatcher]

15. I agree. It was trying so hard to look like it wasn't trying.

I knew ten minutes in how it was going to end.

[whathehell]

40. It was loaded with

gratuitous misogyny and vulgarity. I hated virtually everything about it.

[red dog 1]

18. The only movie I ever walked out of was "The Way We Were"

It was a "Sneak Preview" and I got up & walked out while the opening credits were running.
(I saw Barbra Streisand's name....I couldn't stand her back then; but I love her now!)

[red dog 1]

19. For "The Departed," Scorsese won an Oscar for Best Director

and also won a Golden Globe Award for Best Director.

(I hate to admit it, but I never saw that one)

[whathehell]

35. I know..

but they also once gave an Oscar for Best Song to "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp".

[red dog 1]

37. Yeah, well, "Best Song" ....Who cares?

Best Director, now that's a real honor, don't you agree?

[whathehell]

39. The musically inclined might care, and

in any case, my point is that the Academy makes poor choices on occasion.

[lunasun]

9. Like potato chips can't have just one

[red dog 1]

14. Wasn't that the advertising line for Lay's potato chips?

"Bet you just can't eat just one"

[FSogol]

16. You're not a Lay's lawyer are you?

[red dog 1]

20. I know what you mean, by the way

I have 5 favorite Martin Scorsese movies:
- Raging Bull
- Goodfellas
- Taxi Driver
- The Aviator
- No Direction Home [probably my "most favorite"]

[NightWatcher]

17. No need for a poll. 1. Goodfellas 2. Casino 3. Taxi Driver

[yallerdawg]

24. "Silence" is brilliant, evocative, beautiful and thought-provoking.

Scorsese impossibly continues to deliver better and better films.

[red dog 1]

25. It's up there as a poll option now

So you can now vote for it.

[yallerdawg]

26. I don't see it as an option?

[red dog 1]

29. My mistake....I was thinking of The Age of Innocence

Scorsese produced, directed and wrote "Silence"

(I'll put it on my wish list)

[ms liberty]

27. It's not on your list: The Last Waltz

Probably one of, if not the, greatest concert film ever.

[red dog 1]

36. I forgot about that one

That was a great concert film.

I know Winterland well, since I went there many times, (mostly to see the Grateful Dead).

I could remove Mean Streets to make room for it, I guess, since no one has yet to vote for it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

28. "For as long as I can remember........

I always knew I wanted to be a gangster."

Great opening line to a GREAT movie.

[red dog 1]

31. "Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox!"

Remember that line?

(Goodfellas is a truly great movie!)

[ProudMNDemocrat]

38. yep. ......

Martin Scorsese is one of my favorite Directors.

[Squinch]

30. What, no "Kundun?" That was actually a great movie too!

[Kristofer Bry]

41. The King of Comedy

[LeftInTX]

42. I've never seen Mean Streets, but want to see it.

I couldn't make through the Aviator. It was awful.

[jrandom421]

43. The Aviator

It probably wasn't Leonardo DiCaprio and Scorsese's best film, but he perfectly captured the genius and madness of Howard Hughes.

[red dog 1]

45. Yeah, it's one of my favorite movies......I've seen it many times

I'm surprised that it hasn't gotten any votes at all.

I thought Leo did a pretty good job as Howard Hughes.
Howard Hughes had that pencil-thin mustache from an early age, probably while still a teenager, but Leo doesn't have it until the last 45 minutes or so of the movie (Weird)

[TexasBushwhacker]

44. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Good adult romances are so rare, and Kris Kristofferson was hot 🔥
