My favourite is Silence. God bless you and your family Sean.

[@ericfurst6091]

Please say the 2 books you mentioned

[@kellyrob4296]

I LOVE you picked The Departed for #1 because a lot of reviewers have tried to put it down and denigrate it somehow or say it has less to say when I also connected w/ the story more so than say, Goodfellow’s, because of the concise storyline. It explains Leo’s character and his evolution enough so he’s relatable. I didn’t realize it was because it was ‘relatable’ as you put it but maybe you’re exactly right!

“Silence” is another Scorsese’s underrated masterpiece that’s pretty faithful to the novel of the same name. And such a tragic part of Japanese history has been hardly taught in schools in Japan.

[@EthanS1481]

I honestly respect Scorsese for pulling this movie off, and the subject matter is astonishing, but at the same time , it is possibly one of the most agonisingly boring movies I’ve ever pushed myself to sit through…

[@detroitpolak9904]

I was really surprised at HOW MUCH I liked Silence. Given the subject, I knew I would like it, but he really did a great job. Garfield especially so.

[@elijahalbiston]

It may have been the first Scorsese film I ever saw, and I'm shocked to see it at the bottom. I honestly think it's an incredible religious film and I believe it's ranked so low because of personal bias Side note: Andrew Garfield was so robbed that year at awards, he had Hacksaw Ridge and this

@FallenKnight2244 because younger audiences are less likely to have watched his films. Especially ones that gravitate towards mcu and other popcorn flicks. A generation that's grown up w the internet in the palm of theirs hands hsve a shorter attention span and his movies are longer and build up.

My favourite Jake Lamotta quote and story. After watching a screening of the movie, Jake turned to his Ex wife Vicky (the same Vicky in the movie) who watched the move with him , he was rather distressed and asked “I wasn’t that bad was I?” “Jake” she said “You was worse”

Very surprised Gangs of New York was so low. Appreciate your ranking, keep up the good work .

[@MichaelTomsyck]

As a point of reference, I watched and took a ton of notes on all 26 of these movies over the last seven months in order to participate in this long awaited ranking. These are my updated thoughts on all of these films. Also, I’m not a Scorsese fanatic, so if some of my placements are unpopular, that’s why. 26. Boxcar Bertha-While there’s a certain amount of artistic vision here, this is Scorsese’s worst film because the characters aren’t interesting and it feels like a movie made over ten years before it actually did, which isn’t in this movie’s favor 25. New York, New York-It certainly doesn’t help that isn’t the type of film I normally get into, and that’s compounded by the 2.5 hour runtime and De Niro’s character being so incredibly unlikeable for me to root for the romance between him and Liza Minelli 24. Who’s That Knocking at My Door-Other than getting some novelty out of watching Scorsese’s first feature film as well as seeing Harvey Keitel in his very first credited acting role, I didn’t get much out of this movie because of its budget and especially its age 23. The Age of Innocence-Like several other films on this list, I can respect the artistic vision here, but of movies I actually got something out of, I wasn’t all that interested in the story or the themes, so I didn’t particularly care for this one 22. The Last Temptation of Christ-As a Christian, I simply don’t like the direction this movie takes to explore its characters and themes, despite having quite a bit of artistic merit and a few interesting enough moments 21. Kundun-When it comes to the style and sound design, this movie’s pretty interesting, but when it comes to the story, characters, and themes this movie was tackling, I didn’t resonate with this film 20. Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore-Much like a bunch of these earlier Scorsese films, this isn’t really something I get much out of, but it’s nice to see Ellen Burstyn, Kris Kristofferson, Harvey Kietel, and Jodie Foster all in one film, so that was enough to put this one a bit higher 19. Silence-I absolutely recognize that there’s plenty of artistic and thematic merit to this film, but this simply isn’t a movie that lines up with the way I connect with and love film, which is why this one doesn’t crack the Top 15 18. Gangs of New York-One of the more frustrating entries in Scorsese’s filmography for me because I feel like I enjoy multiple pieces of this film in the basic concept, the set design, the style, and Day-Lewis’ performance as Bill the Butcher, a good bit more the overall film itself 17. Bringing Out the Dead-It definitely is difficult to watch at times, but the film actually does have quite a bit to say about salvation, suffering, and redemption, making for a pretty effective film, and it certainly helps that I love Nicolas Cage 16. The Color of Money-It’s certainly nice to see younger Tom Cruise in a Scorsese film and Scorsese’s overall direction is pretty good, but when it comes to the story and the actual characters, there wasn’t anything to write home about 15. Mean Streets-Much like Who’s That Knocking at My Door, its age and budget holds this movie back quite a bit for me, but because this movie had a significantly bigger budget than that film, and the fact that this is the first collaboration between Scorsese and De Niro, it was a lot more watchable and engaging 14. The Aviator-Even though this isn’t one I get a ton out of, this is still an interesting, engaging film that has great production value and aesthetics, and as always, DiCaprio giving a very good central performance 13. After Hours-While this is certainly foreign to Scorsese’s filmography, I personally got more out of the black comedy, zaniness, and style more than the films below it because it’s pretty short and so different, which made for a film that broke up this set of films nicely 12. Hugo-Much like After Hours, I appreciated watching a very different Scorsese film during this watchthrough of very layered, long movies, and this movie shows how Scorsese actually has a softer side than certain people might think 11. Casino-I do think that this is a very good movie with very solid performances all around, great direction from Scorsese, and the back half of this movie is pretty great, but I do think the first 30 to 40% of the film isn’t the easiest to disest for me because there’s so much exposition via voiceover 10. Shutter Island-Despite not quite being top tier Scorsese or DiCaprio, this is a very good psychological thriller that’s yet another acting showcase for Leo DiCaprio, while also having solid sprinkles of noir and horror elements, all with great cinematography and atmosphere 9. Cape Fear-A very good movie that takes a story that shouldn’t be all that interesting or edge of your seat, but makes it very tense because of great style and a fantastic performance from Robert De Niro as Max Cady 8. The Irishman-Don’t get me wrong, this is an incredibly well made movie that tells a very compelling story with some of the greatest actors of all time giving fantastic performances, but at the same time, I do think this movie could’ve been trimmed up by about twenty-ish minutes, and because this is a Netflix exclusive you watch at home, it’s not a film that’s easy for me to watch and get 100% invested in because of the inherent distractions of not being in a theater 7. Goodfellas- I’m prepared to get absolutely lambasted in this comments section, but this is still a great mobster movie that explores mob life in a very compelling way through a rock solid script from Pileggi and Scorsese as well as very good performances from Liotta, De Niro, and especially Pesci 6. Killers of the Flower Moon-Trying to keep recency bias out of this, this was another great film from Scorsese that made me feel all of the very heavy emotions I was supposed to feel, all told with phenomenal direction, amazing performances, and fantastic storytelling 5. Raging Bull-While not necessarily being one of the easiest of movies to watch, that doesn’t stop this film from being a very interesting exploration of aggression and the perception of self, with yet another excellent performance from Robert De Niro as Jake LaMotta tying those ideas and themes together 4. The King of Comedy-A movie that was ahead of its time with the themes, ideas, message, and ending, which are more relevant to today than when this film came out, which is rather impressive because this movie was released 40+ years ago 3. The Departed-When you put it all together, Scorsese’s direction is fantastic, DiCaprio, Damon, and Nicholson’s performances are all great, William Monahan’s script is exciting and very tightly written, and all of it pays off so well in the third act, which makes for a very high placement on this list 2. The Wolf of Wall Street-An outrageous, high energy film that has my favorite DiCaprio performance, absolutely amazing sequences, and is an overall fantastic showcase on how film can explore ideas, evoke emotions, and take you on a journey that no other medium can quite accomplish 1. Taxi Driver-I understand this might be a bit unpopular, but when it comes to all twenty six of these movies, this is the Scorsese film that has always stuck with me the most and the one I’ve gotten the most out of because of its great tension, slower pace, and exploring Travis’ loneliness

[@alexyoudell592]

I will never understand why Casino is so far down on everybodys list. For me it's number one and my favourite film of all time along with A Bronx Tale. It flows perfectly it feels like 2 hours has passed not 3 and some of those scenes towards the end when it all starts falling apart e.g. the desert scene and the sccenes with de niro and sharon stone in the restauraunt when he gets her back and sayd "You think you being home after what you put me through is a favour to me?". When he goes to Nickys restauraunt after she's tied their daughter up and then the ending with house oif the rising sun playing. Absolute perfection.

[@PastorBateman7]

I love that film so much Casino is one of the best mob movies of all time and it has such an insanely high rewatchability value. I think the reason it's so underrated is because many people saw it like just a rehash of Goodfellas, and although it does share some of the styles/techniques introduced with it's predecessor, I'd say it stands on it's own. I'd easily give it a 10/10 and rank it #5 or #6 on my favorite Scorsese movies list.

I agree The Departed is a fantastic film, there's no doubt about that. But everybody knows that Scorsese's best work was in the 70s, 80s and 90s. However, I also understand it's his personal list. So I can't complain much about that, to each his own lol.

The Last Temptation of Christ was based on a book of the same name, so Scorsese didn’t really come up with the concept. Also, Roger Corman mentored Scorsese, so there’s nothing that peculiar about them working together. Corman also mentored future Oscar winners Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, Ron Howard, and Jonathan Demme, in addition to making cameos in some of their later films.

[@nms7872]

I started watching Scorsese's work with Irishman and it was both the last/first movie I watched in the 2010s/2020s. It was an amazing introduction to a 50 year + career. This is a super difficult rank and I still have about 10 more of his movies to watch. Goodfellas is definitely my favourite. Closely followed by The Departed, Taxi Driver, Wolf Of Wall Street and Casino. Sprawling epics and focused character dramas are just mastered by Scorsese. Bringing Out The Dead is my pick for most underappreciated. The style really worked and the almost nightmare-ish depiction. Killers is definitely one I want to rewatch and it was such a dense movie where character intentions need to be closely examined. Amazing that Scorsese can still pull off this sort of story development at such a budget. First Scorsese movie in theatres

[@brendansheehy8124]

Great list Sean. The only movie you rate on the lower end that I would put higher is After Hours. A very atypical Scorsese movie for sure. While it doesn’t have the deep themes of other Scorsese classics, I just find a very entertaining and off-beat comic romp about a guy going through the worst night of his life at the height of the craziness of 80’s New York. You can see elements of it in later movies like The Hangover. My pick for Scorsese’s most underrated movie.

[@JoseChavez-rf4ul]

Hi Sean. I’d like to piggy back on what @nationalcoaster said. It’s all about perspective. The very first time I saw “After Hours” I found Griffin Dunne’s plight way too stressful to laugh. However, after another couple of watches I then began to find it hilarious (and I still do to this day). Yes, it’s dark and exasperating but that is what’s so damn funny about it. As Griffin Dunne says at one point, “I just wanted to leave my apartment, maybe meet a nice girl - and NOW I’VE GOT TO DIE FOR IT?!! All the man wants to do is get home and, instead, the whole night is conspiring against him. It’s such a futile predicament he finds himself in that it’s like witnessing a cockroach trapped on its back with legs spinning, unable to turn over and after a while it’s just painfully, wickedly funny.

[@g3thefallout269]

Personally, as a Christian, I find The Last Temptation of Christ to be endlessly fascinating (and really good). Scorsese tells you in the opening frames that what you’re about to watch is a work of fiction. It’s not trying to be historically accurate. It’s Scorsese (and Schrader) working out their complex feelings about Jesus from their Catholic upbringing. How could he be both man and God? “If he was fully human, I wonder if he had thoughts about being worthy enough, or if he wanted a normal life? If Jesus was fully human, did he face similar temptations to me?” If each and every one of us were to make a movie about Jesus, all of our movies would look radically different because of our own experiences with Jesus, and I think too many Christians get lost in the “heresy” of it all. I think the questions Scorsese is wrestling with are questions lots of us wrestle with. And I think we could all get something from the film if we could acknowledge it’s not a beat for beat adaptation of the Gospel of Luke or something.

[@SeanChandlerTalksAbout]

The problem is that to believers Jesus is sacred and not a toy for thought experiments. Sacred things aren't tools to be played with. If you don't view Jesus as sacred then I'm sure it's a fascinating film.

[@tarikh20]

The Departed, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Wolf of Wall Street without a doubt are my favorite Scorsese movies. The Departed is just awesome, and that ending is just wow. I have probably watched The Departed more than any of his other movies. NO doubt, he is a legendary director and one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. I do have to say I didn't appreciate his comments about superhero movies and Marvel movies. I love his movies but also genuinely love superhero movies, both Marvel and DC. Good superhero movies are not empty vessels without substance, character development, or emotion, as he suggested(I am paraphrasing). But he has multiple times made pretty scathing criticism about superhero movies for self-serving financial reasons and because studios won't agree to his type of his movies as they once did in the past. He even criticized the comic movie audiences. I would have thought, as an artist, and such a master storyteller, Scorsese would have respect for all kinds of movies and filmmakers. By criticizing comic book movies, he basically by association polarized those talented MCU and DC filmmakers and actors/actresses. That's why Chris Hemsworth made a comment about Scorsese. Scorsese needs to be practical that times have changed and audiences have developed different taste for movies. It doesn't have to be so black and white, either Scorsese's movies or superhero movies. People can like both types of movies and find meaning in them for different reasons. No need to demonize superhero movies and their audiences because his style is different. There is a space for his type of movies and superhero movies. Art is on the eye of the beholder, and movies are ways to escape reality. Superhero movies provide inspiration, heroism and ways to escape reality. Not everyone wants to see drug, sex, crime, and movies depicting harsh realities of life that we already live and breathe. You don't see Nolan and Spielberg complaining about superhero movie taking away the spotlight from original movies. Heck, Nolan's original movie Oppenheimer made so much money(close to $ 1 billion) this year, more than Marvel and DC superhero movies. Has Scorsese's movies ever made that much money? So is the problem Scorsese's style of making movies using old school storytelling tricks and unwilling to modernize? Or are superhero movies to blame? Nolan proved there is a space for both types of movies this year alone, without complaining about comic book movies and their audiences.

[@Gusten1986]

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

I haven’t seen all of Scorsese’s films, but my favourites have to be: Taxi Driver - My first Scorsese film I saw at a friend’s house at 1am and an absolutely phenomenal film that still sticks with me, a powerhouse performance from De Niro and a great script penned by Paul Schrader who was very much into the whole “Lonely Night Worker” genre focusing on a unhinged man driven insane by the decaying urban environment which is very much a character itself in the picture. Raging Bull - Scorsese after having almost died from cocaine addiction went all in with De Niro to make a powerful, beautiful yet ugly and violent film about a man who’s jealousy and rage tragically destroys himself and the relationships with those around him. The brilliant technical aspects behind the film including it’s black and white cinematography and focused editing (this is the first of Scorsese’s films that have all been edited by Thelma Schoonmaker) elevate the intensity of LaMotta’s battles in and outside of the ring, and De Niro’s Oscar-winning performance is a masterclass in method acting, particularly as you mentioned the insane weight gain De Niro put on to portray LaMotta in his post-boxing years out-of-shape and washed up. GoodFellas - An absolute classic of the gangster pictures, this film is a highly entertaining and rewatchable film, and it’s formula inspired many other films heading into the 90’s and even into the new century. The use of narration in this film really adds to the story and how it progresses as we see Henry Hill rise and rise to promising heights as a Mafia foot soldier before drugs and paranoia send him crashing to the bottom where he gets banished from the only family he knows. And of course, Joe Pesci is both hilarious and absolutely terrifying as Tommy, some great acting and improv (“Funny How?”) that really added to the film, and despite the fact his character deserved his fate it’s still shocking in a way. The Departed - Similar to Scorsese’s other crime films but instead focused on the Irish Mob in Boston, this film is also intensely thrilling and highly entertaining, you get some great acting from the cast including Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon who leans into very villainous territory which is a departure from his usual roles. The film’s story is enhanced by Scorsese’s directional choices to elevate the suspense (that phone scene between DiCaprio and Damon is terrific) as a high-stakes cat and mouse game between law enforcement and the mob. The final act of course is shocking but also extremely satisfying. The Wolf of Wall Street - Replacing the violence of GoodFellas and Casino with raunchy sex and drug abuse while still carrying the formula of those two films, this film is a spiritual sequel focusing on greed and the rise and fall of a criminal empire. Leonardo DiCaprio in his fifth partnership with Scorsese gives some of the best work of his career playing the charismatic and scummy white-collar criminal Jordan Belfort, Scorsese gives DiCaprio a lot of room to improvise his performance which makes Belfort a character we’re really captivated yet repulsed by. Jonah Hill was also excellent playing Belfort’s associate Donnie and this was also the film that made Margot Robbie a star with her memorable performance as Naomi who also suffers the consequences of Jordan’s lifestyle. It’s a hilarious but also thought-provoking film that really challenges us as the audience as to how we look up to people like charismatic and intelligent people like Belfort even though they’re also completely terrible individuals. Really keen to see Killers of The Flower Moon sometime over the next week!!
