Scorsese's Top 5 Movies


I think this is one of Scorsese's best movies, it's just really quite incredible. Such an awesome script and a funny, yet dark and enjoyable feel.

My top 5 of his films would probably be:

1. Goodfellas
2. Raging Bull
3. Taxi Driver
4. The Departed
5. Gangs of New York

Honourable Mentions: After Hours, The Aviator, The King of Comedy

What do you think are his top 5 movies. Hard to choose, hard to choose.

Based on which films I like the most - here is my top5:

1. After Hours
2. Taxi Driver
3. Raging Bull
4. Goodfellas
5. Mean Streets

After Hours is a clear winner. I've watched it around ten times since first discovering it as a kid in the late 80s. Back then.. I didn't apprecite its finer qualities, but it always gripped me with its atmosphere. As an adult, I find it even captivating - and thoroughly brilliant in every area. Definitely in my top20 films list.

I moved to a big metropolis just so I could have my own After Hours experiences - and did, because of this movie - it's the kind of thing I imagined happened in big cities since it almost happened in smaller ones.

BTW I had some mixed feeling on my choices, but I would find it insane if anyone's top 5 choices didn't include Taxi Driver and Goodfellas.

I'd say Gangs of New York and Shutter Island come very close to making 5th place.
