Is clearly Taxi Driver. Raging Bull is great but Jake La Motta doesn't have the same depth as Travis Bickle. Goodfellas is a lot of fun, but that's about it. Every other movie doesn't even compare.

This is underrated Scorsese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxaNe2SY-AI

And, no, gently caress Casino

Casino's fine. It's just a second-rate Goodfellas.

Rupert Pupkin is a great character, but the Jerry Lewis kidnapping storyline was kind of garbage. King of Comedy is definitely worth a watch though. A spiritual sequel to Taxi Driver, I guess.

Alice Doesn't Live Here is worth watching.

It's pretty much a race between Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. Every other movie is beneath those two.

I liked Shutter Island, The Aviator, The Wolf of Wall Street, etc. but lol if you think any of that's better than Taxi Driver.

nah, it's good. scorsese is the most consistently productive american director that's currently living and possibly the best director to ever live. even his "bad" movies are, at the very least, competently made and shutter island is no exception.

Paul Thomas Anderson and even Wes Anderson put out better stuff than MS does.

Hate to break it to you, but even though WA is hit-and-miss, in the past 10 years he and PTA have put out better films than Martin Scorsese.

Okay, never mind. Casino is the best Scorsese film.

Alright let me do this the right way

1. Raging Bull
2. Taxi Driver
3. Goodfellas
4. Mean Streets
5. After Hours

(though I haven't seen Wolf on Wall street)

I'd put Taxi Driver above Raging Bull (and put The Wolf of Wall Street above After Hours), but other than that, the list seems about right.

Does anyone remember the "I'm here to loving amuse you?" scene from Goodfellas? That one is really good.

De Niro wanting to do Taxi Driver 2 is hilarious.
