Top Ranked Films of Martin Scorsese

These are all the films of Scorsese’s that made the top 1000 in our 2011 update of the Top Ranked 1000 Films on the Net, all polls. Martin had 13 titles in all, second only to Hitchcock's 14, and in my opinion, a much better, more serious body of work than Hitch's.





1. Taxi Driver (1976) #3
2. Raging Bull (1980) bw #25
3. Goodfellas (1990) #26
4. Casino (1995) #120
5. Mean Streets (1973) #166
6. The Departed (2006) #191 [AA]
7. The King of Comedy (1982) #393
8. Age of Innocence, The (1993) #417
9. Last Temptation of Christ, The (1988) #494
10. After Hours (1985) #531
11. Shutter Island (2010) #567
12. My Voyage to Italy (1999) #755
13. Last Waltz , The (1978) #796

More ranked, but outside the top 1000
14. The Aviator #1265
15. New York, New York #1410
16. Gangs of New York (2002) #1681
17. No Direction Home #1824
18. Personal Journey w Martin Scorsese #2072

This list could also include the excellent Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, which won Ellen Burstyn her only Oscar®, so far anyway, as best actress. The one really missing in the top 1000 to me is Gangs of New York, which came it at #1681.
