Thelma Schoonmaker's Favorite Scorsese Moments

[@chrisgaitan1915]

Greatest film editor ever.

[@carl_anderson9315]

I normally never say “Best [space] ever”, but this time I have to agree. At least in the top 10 best editors in film history.

[@omidfilms]

Took the words out of my mouth

[@mimicrybypravesh]

Anne V Coates was better, edited Lawrence of Arabia

[@ruly8153]

Yes BUT!!! She’s a women and shouldn’t be working in film

[@Thespeedrap]

@@ruly8153 Who are you to judge somebody.

The editing in Goodfellas set a new trend in film making. 2 1/2 hours length and it goes by in the blink of an eye. Its been imitated to death since then and is now the standard in making a film flow , but when it premiered it knocked people out. Schoonmaker is the magic in Scorsese's brilliant concepts.

[@waynej2608]

Agree. Clearly, it's not surprising that she and Scorsese have worked together for decades. Both are off the charts talented! A match made in heaven, etc. They've thoroughly earned the praise. 👍

[@AndyJay1985]

I always tell everyone the day Henry gets busted always heightens my anxiety.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Goodfellas is a flawless film she has a lot to do with it

[@FreakieFan]

Editing is truly an invisible art. Always had the utmost respect for editors

[@NxDoyle]

One of the best cinematic marriages in the history of film. A great lesson for up-and- comers too: don't forget continuity, but don't revere continuity.

[@jameswelday8451]

A cinematic treasure. Her genius, along with Scorsese, is undeniable.

[@Model_Roe]

Raging Bull is my favorite movie of all time this lady is brilliant much respect Thelma

[@krisla8211]

Fantastic video! She is a wonderful film editor and her working partnership with Martin Scorsese is unrivaled.

[@tontaelli]

This lady transcends any box you could possibly try to put her into. She is fantastic. A brilliant editor without equal.

[@liltick102]

1:55 So many time’s I have looked up my own writing / searched to if either what I wrote, or if a song I made was even my work or not because it impressed me in-post so much. Great feeling.

[@AntonBaumgartner]

a little bit disappointed that she didn't flatter herself for the amazing sequences in Goodfellas and Casino

[@jackreed7287]

Hugo is a masterpiece.

[@brandoncaridi5229]

Thelma is the GOAT of editing!

[@candelise]

I would happily spend serious money taking Thelma to dinner and asking her a million questions.

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

Imagine being so good as an editor that you're Scorsese's editor :)

[@micahjohansson7573]

Martin has worked with Thelma, she edited his first feature film and then since Raging Bull they have worked together.

[@davidswanson5669]

@@micahjohansson7573hard to say who was the luckier one, to have found each other. My guess is that she’d say she was the lucky one, but she’s certainly proven herself time and time again.

[@filmbuff2777]

I'm glad she talked about Gangs of New York. I love this film, & I think it deserves more respect than it gets. The revenge story is more nuanced & has more depth than something like Gladiator (which is a cut & dry revenge story with one dimensional characters), & the world Scorsese re-created was really well done.

[@theowlreviewerofficial]

If she is still around, I'd love to meet her. Seems genuine and passionate about her editing work and collaboration with Scorsese

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

She is!

[@wildsmiley]

She recently was the editor on Scorsese’s The Irishman. She has been nominated for an Academy Award many times and has won 3 times. Bet she’ll be nominated for The Irishman too.

[@Model_Roe]

She's still alive LoL just worked on Killers of the Flower Moon I want to see it

[@fercho9905]

The intro scene for Raging Bull is just heaven.

[@fredfat1606]

one of the best film editors

[@jiiig8667]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. I love this. These r the people I'd like to hear more from. ❤

[@csitMusic]

Thelma Moviemaker.

[@suzannebaily5293]

She is an editing genius!!!

[@greyeyed123]

In watching old westerns from the '40s, very often I notice in two shots that one of the actor's faces is not even facing the camera enough to see any expression at all, and the other (usually the star) is mostly facing the other person so most of their reactions are lost also. It occurred to me that (bad) directors and actors may have been thinking of movies in terms of stage plays at that time. Or maybe many just weren't very good or didn't care about how the movie was done.

[@Lightblue.JA18]

Im her fan its brilliant and so adorable

[@warnutztheloser]

Great Film Editor very Inspiring

[@fascinatinglist9654]

she should change her name to Thelma Moviemaker

[@genericname34]

0 dislikes, that’s when you know it’s art

[@gpubskrw4076]

This'll seem an odd observation, but watching her talk brings to mind Carol Kay, the bass player in the Wrecking Crew. Both women GIANTS in their chosen fields, and both great in interviews.

[@stephenmccollum1391]

absolute LEGEND

[@65g4]

Love her editing work an absolute tradgedy that Scorsese didnt win for Raging Bull

[@theitalianalien8477]

I adore this woman

[@can2709]

I have no idea why, but she keeps reminding me of Lucille Austero from Arrested Development...

[@mhcolby]

Yeah it's funny they kind of have the same accent! Might be that they both had British mothers?

[@RG-vx9jh]

🙏 God bless you and your family mam

[@josephgavrilides8383]

What a legend!

[@aeromundos]

Making videos for my channel nowadays i know how important the editing process is (it can even save a project from total boredom) , indeed is like putting a puzzle together Thelma has the gift and is a example of excellence in the field to many aspiring filmakers.

[@joannkelly7994]

Thank you.

[@giovannisanseviero5726]

Going for the truth all the time.

[@alanFconrad]

she's great

[@SalamiKing7]

Legend!

[@lsaf6573]

Awesome!

[@franciswoodbeck768]

Legend

[@dakritic]

3 people actually think that “Dances with Wolves” was superior to “Goodfellas”. 🙄

[@annettewernblad7807]

Great video - his name is spelled Scorsese, though :-)

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

How could they not get her to talk about Goodfellas.

[@plasticweapon]

she's tired of talking about goodfellas.

[@pietropascale6302]

What software did she use to edit

[@jamesjameson4566]

Darude, sandstorm

[@Skanda1111]

what's the track that plays when the video starts?

[@diegoignaciomunozvalenzuel3013]

It's been 2 years, you probably don't even remember about this, most probably you found the track. Anyway, is Met Lab Zoso Sticker-7horse

[@ChrisPeck-niganma]

Cool. I likes her

[@arsh0603]

Dear Thelma Schoonmaker, Do you still edit? You have been a great inspiration.

[@mhcolby]

Magical Moments I believe she’s in post on “The Irishman” now :)

[@carl_anderson9315]

Matthew Colby yep!

[@plasticweapon]

easy enough to find out...

[@GarrettDavis-nu3ti]

She's so beautiful. I always saw her as well,,,,,,,,, not beautiful. Gotta admit, I normally don't tie beautiful women in with tough-guy/ gangsta Movie's. ( Except as moll's.)

[@FunkMasterKRoc]

what software is she using?

[@mhcolby]

+FunkMasterKRoc I'm not positive, it was something I didn't recognize. Not avid, ppremiere, or FCP. Maybe some sort of custom Avid UI? Or Edius?

[@booneh]

She is using Lightworks, which she has edited on since she switched to digital. It's more like a flatbed film editor with Avid (and pretty much everything else) being more like an old video editing machine. Lightworks was kind of on its last legs for a long time, but now it's coming back strong.

[@mhcolby]

Interesting! Glad you could answer this.

[@subwaygaragemusic]

And did you notice that she is running Lightworks on Windows? LOL

[@MrJJNath]

Roadrash

[@linusfotograf]

It’s odd how she keeps calling him by his lastname. Love their work together

[@Fishnutz737]

she bothers me a lot
