"I've seen a lot of movies; it's terrible." I like how he says it like it's an addiction - which it probably is.

[@gabrielesimone1372]

The influence of Citizen Kane on Scorsese is really high. Every of his biopics are really like Citizen Kane

[@deckofcards87]

THE SEARCHERS is indeed the best Western, and I've seen all of them as well. Funny thing is it didn't do much for me the first time I saw it.

[@QueenJneeuQ]

Prefer the spaghetti westerns tbh

[@AlonsoRules]

Lawrence of Arabia is probably number 6

[@colinkamoda9502]

His kids must have a better appreciation of film than him, because he had to learn all this himself, they have a great mentor.

Richer the parents , butter 🧈 the life for the kids

[@macarthurndayisaba2441]

I like you movies

[@mirazusta2002]

Since this interview took place, one would assume Martin Scorsese could have perfectly reconsider this list. Not that the movies listed here don't deserve their inclusion in Scorsese's 5 favourites list but, for a man with such a vast knoweledge of the medium, it is hard to believe he has a single 5 favourite movies list at all.

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

I've only seen one of those 5 films which is Citizen Kane, I should check out the others sometime.

[@robinstewart1]

They are all amazing. Particularly the searchers and the red shoes. Searchers one of best westerns ever!

[@andrewperoti6525]

The Wild Bunch is my favourite movie

[@PatrickWDunne]

A big influence on Edgar Wright and Kathryn Bigelow!

[@gabrielesimone1372]

Paris, Texas is mine

[@randywhite9415]

its top five for me.

[@Marco_Venieri]

Wild bunch probably one the 5 best Western of all time

[@zachsutton6195]

Second favorite western right behind The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

[@leonarddonald2093]

Marty says it's so it must be.

[@lizclegg7556]

This was a long time ago. His choices might be different now.

[@lizclegg7556]

@Balão Vermelho Why?

[@positional_play]

@@lizclegg7556 He participated in the 2012 Sight & Sound poll and voted for all of those five films.

[@davidsanderson5918]

visca barca To be fair there were also 7 other films in his 2012 Sight And Sound Poll list....but I take your point. It's remarkable that, even by 2012, his top films have no addition from 1968 onwards. Surprised there was no Tarkovsky for instance.

[@positional_play]

@@davidsanderson5918 I guess it was simply because he started to become a filmmaker himself at that point and the biggest influence for him came from films of the 1940s and 1950s.

[@TheTrueMasterOfTheFist]

@@davidsanderson5918 I cant find anything of anyone even mentioning Tarkovskys name besides Bergman

[@johnedwards7899]

He speaks so fast and so softly, I can't get the name of rhe first movie, let alone the rest. So much for that interview.

[@12classics39]

The names of the movies he lists are The Searchers, Citizen Kane, The Red Shoes, 8 1/2, and The Leopard.

[@J4sse]

Wonder what shows he likes.

[@ilck-ym-blals7385]

Who the fuck would know how many films they have seen lol

[@rupachakraborty6459]
