When discussing the greatest directors of all time, one person who is absolutely near the top of the list is Martin Scorsese. For decades, Scorsese has been churning out classic films and I don't think he's ever had a bad movie. It is truly remarkable that such a legend did not win his first Academy Award for Best Director until The Departed.
This article will discuss and analyze what I consider to be the greatest films directed by Martin Scorsese.
The first movie which I will mention is Raging Bull. This film was released in 1980, long after movies left the realm of black and white. But Scorsese returned to black and white for this movie, and I believe it was a better film because of it. Both De Niro and Pesci were amazing in this movie.
Another fantastic Scorsese film that I had only seen recently was Gangs of New York. This movie depicts the early days of New York City as most had never seen it before. Daniel Day Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio are spectacular in this one.
In an interesting choice of filmmaking, Scorsese teamed up with his new Hollywood favorite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio to make a biopic on Howard Hughes. The film we are discussing of course, is the Aviator. This is a great movie.
One movie that definitely makes the cut for me is The Departed. Few people realize that this movie was actually a remake of a Japanese classic, but in the end, it doesn't really matter. This movie was absolutely incredible and deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture award.
One film of Scorsese's that I absolutely loved was Casino. Robert De Niro played the role of Sam Rothstein, a man who rises to become one of the most powerful men in Las Vegas. Joe Pesci is also great in this movie. Sharon Stone is evil in this movie.
These are just some of the best Scorsese films of all time. Chances are if you are watching one of his movies, it is going to be great.
