1. Shutter Island 2. After Hours 3. Taxi Driver 4. The Departed 5. Cape Fear
The reasoning behing Shutter Island, is simply this: Scorsese went way out of his genre and brought us one of the most messed up realities to ever be explored in the history of cinema, period. I mean the impact of this movie ranks up there with altered states, which i considered to be one of the most pleasently disturbing movies made to this day, Shutter Island reaches all whole new pinnacle in the mystery of the the unknown and dark places a human mind can travel to, and the sheer emotional impact, and stress one must endure through his travels. I mean the whole idea to have a narrator or main character as unreliable as he is, just astounds me. Andrew Laddieus is the most confused and emotionally corrupted characters ever in a movie
I left out Mean Streets, The Aviator, After Hours, The Age of Innocence, Cape Fear, The King Of Comedy, Shutter Island, Gangs of New York... holy sh!t what a terrific director
