We are witnessing an absolute grand master of cinematography! We're all very fortunate to have grown up around his films!

Would have love a break down on Hugo too. It was often overlook amongst Scorsese's films because how different it was, but I find it very charming and touching.

[@Erasureeraser]

I remember seeing Hugo in 3D and it was one of the greatest use of 3D i've ever seen in theaters, probably since Avatar. I do agree it's often overlooked eventhough it won few Oscars, it was definitely an amazing family movie given that it was Rated PG

[@ayushbajaj4708]

Killers of the Flower Moon is about be a masterpiece

[@jj-if6it]

Taxi Driver is still one of my favorite films of all time. There's just something about that unique style

[@doriangray6646]

"Silence" is still my favorite Martin Scorsese Film... A masterpiece.....

[@AmusementPerks]

i've watched it couple of times, but today i've really listened to it

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Scorsese is a legend. What a phenomenal visionary. Such natural, potent talent. Exhumes excellence.

[@cooperwolfe5478]

Yeah I agree. An interesting fact about Scorsese is that he is the only film director in history to direct multiple films that earned at least 10 Oscar nominations and didn’t win any.

[@suat365]

One of the greatest director of all time. My favourite films are: Goodfellas Raging Bull Casino Cape Fear The Departed. Masterpieces

[@meeks1201]

He never misses, such an amazing storyteller.

[@DrSnowBrainHealth]

Probably the best and most iconic director on the planet and in history….thank you Marty!

[@dilfill]

They didn’t talk about Hugo. Such a great underrated film of his.

[@ChrisThomson-y7l]

Probably because it’s his only family film. I love it myself and think it represents Scorsese well tho, it shows how much he loves movies more than any other one of his films

[@ManCave1972]

Scorsese is the real deal. That rare combination of a genius filmmaker AND a master storyteller.

[@deckofcards87]

For me Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Silence will forever rank among the all time greats. Thank you, Mr Scorsese.

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Arguably the greatest American film maker of all time .

[@DylanAlexander93]

Met him once. I told him he was like a hero to me, he spit in my face and said heros are real

[@jayquoproductions]

I really wish he talked about King of Comedy, honestly one of his best movies and so underrated
