Irishman looks great too.<br /><br />...and yet I love him as an artist. Watching Scorsese's best work is fine for sure, but listening to the guy talk in interviews and the documentaries is just fascinating. Hes so insightful and educated in the world of cinema. Of course we can agree that Taxi Driver is the absolute ruler of his filmography ;D Last Temptation of Christ next for sure.Mark Woollonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072777957640381767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-49241957731130610532014-12-22T13:07:10.605-05:002014-12-22T13:07:10.605-05:00Love it.

I can't really think of a lot of directors with as many great movies under their belt as Scorsese. Especially when it comes to crime and gangster movies. Goodfellas is my favorite of his and definitely in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I absolutely love it.Henrik J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12675100900709348187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-53408024364042785192012-02-16T15:20:05.486-05:002012-02-16T15:20:05.486-05:00@Sati.
