Martin Scorsese



Definately one of my favourite directors of all time. I am very interested in the mafia and the city New York (I love the place and the people.) Martin Scorsese always captures the feeling of the great city and it's people I feel.

However, there is more to the great man than mafia film. I bought the Martin Scorsese boxset last week and it's full of his old stuff such as New York, New York and The King Of Comedy. I also love other classics he has recently made like Gangs Of New York.

Any of the RedCafe members a fan of Martin Scorsese? If so, what's your top 3 movies he's directed?

I'm sure pretty much any cinema lover is a fan.

Shame he had to win the oscar for Departed though.

Yeah I agree. So many other and older films deserved oscars.

You talkin' to me!?!

The intro voice-over of Goodfellas is something I could listen to over and over again.

Good choices there mate.

For me:

1. Goodfellas (it's my fave film ever, I love the book it's based on too Wiseguy.

2. Casino

3. Gangs Of New York

Yeah good call on Gangs of New York. Don't think it got the credit it deserved.

I didnt enjoy Casino as much as i thought I would for some reason.

Is there any room for people that really don't like Scorcese in here?
