Sticksboi05 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just couldn't help myself but I promise I won't be doing any other directors. Same as the Tarantino thread but with a different set of films. Let's keep it to films he actually directed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl05 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 In order: Taxi Diver Raging Bull Goodfellas Then everything else. Those three are canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Has to be Goodfellas. Not even close, though there are a number of gems like The Departed, Casino, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 This is like choosing between my children........ I love Taxi Driver, but it's not the kind of movie you watch over and over again. Neither is Raging Bull. Goodfellas is, but I'm not sure it's "better." Casino has massive problems, but it's endlessly rewatchable. Same with The Departed. Mean Streets is awesome for what it is. I also rather like The Aviator quite a bit. ---------- Post added November-16th-2012 at 03:40 PM ---------- Any answer but Taxi Driver is the wrong answer. The flaw in that movie is that it requires Cybill Shepherd to act a little bit. That's not really her thing. Cathy Moriarty, on the other hand, is incredible in Raging Bull. I think Raging Bull is flawless as a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Have only seen three of these and I thought Gangs of NY and Shutter Island were pretty crappy, so I have to go with The Departed which is very high on the re-watch-ability scale.

Taxi Driver is more iconic. And to me, Cybill Shepherd's awkwardness as an actress actually fits the claustrophobia and paranoia of that movie pretty well. King of Comedy needs some love too, as does Hugo (if just for the visuals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I voted for Goodfellas. But I also like Mean Streets and Taxi Driver. Cape Fear is just creepy, as much for DeNiro's performance as anything else, but that whole film just creeps me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I voted Raging Bull, but of course love them all. His wiki page makes good bio-summary reading, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Any answer but Taxi Driver is the wrong answer. It's so hard to vote against it but Raging Bull and GoodFellas are right up there. I will say it's a f-ing injustice that Scorses got Best Picture for his like 4th or 5th best motion picture (The Departed). And it's a great movie. How he lost Best Director to Kevin Costner I wish I was old enough to watch that decision live at the Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'll go with Goodfellas. Gangs of New York is way underrated, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 In a career filled with great movies, Goodfellas is just too amazing to vote for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the kind of movie that you either love or absolutely despise. ---------- Post added November-16th-2012 at 04:07 PM ---------- The Departed by a hair over Goodfellas That's a really strange vote.

Jumbo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yeah, King of Comedy rarely gets its due. I remember when it was coming out, thinking "Jerry Lewis...really?" And then wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I feel like the Departed is an inferior version of GoodFellas that in 20 years will have zero effect on pop culture while GoodFellas will still be quoted, well Pesci mainly.

Captain Wiggles Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Gangs of New York. After that my favorites would be Shutter Island, The Aviator, Casino, The Departed, and The Color of Money. Only movie I can think of that I didn't really enjoy was Bringing Out the Dead. Honestly cant even remember much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane Skins Fan Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Any answer but Taxi Driver is the wrong answer. Never saw Taxi Driver, but I couldnt get through Raging Bull. Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance. Of the ones I've seen, I'd say Good Fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
