Martin Scorsese is the greatest living director


Martin Scorsese is simply the greatest living director and a national treasure to this fine land of mine, His films have transcended generations and inspired some of the best directors working today such as P.T. Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. From Mean Streets to The King of Comedy, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Departed, Hugo, Alice Doesn't Live here Anymore, New York New York, The Color of Money, The Last Waltz, The Last Temptation of Christ, Casino, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, The Age of Innocence, Kundun, Shutter Island, Cape Fear, The Aviator, Shine a Light, Gangs of New York, Boxcar Bertha, Italianamerican, and GoodFellas as well as others I didn't mention. I'm sure many on here will disagree and try to intellectualize in typed words why he is not the greatest living director and say I am wrong, that I am a fool, and so be it, because you will always know, in the back of your mind that he is the greatest director walking the earth this very moment, and when in doubt just watch one of his films and if are still are not convinced, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
