[FuZioNisG]

Casino :D

[surfingthechaos]

Why aren't you painting?



[futurestoryteller]

Could you imagine if this guy was your dad? 'Okay kids, sit down be quiet, this is a great movie - so don't say anything, just look at the screen and watch, okay, alright, got the DVD right here...' jumps off the couch to pop it in 'alright, you ready? Remember! No talking...'

[MrYHP11]

Thank you, Mr. Scorsese! You have inspired me so much! I would love to meet you one day. God bless!

[rtms1988]

I love all his movies, even Last Temptation of Christ, really! This movie is a very underrated picture, I DON'T think that movie is the BEST ONE in the world, but it's very, very good. Kundun is also a classic, such a wonderful story.

[adc896]

i want to see a scorsese dvd set... possibly for blu ray?

[technoty]

Loved The Departed and Goodfellas.

[monsterbot9]

whats his best movie?

i would say 'the departed', but 'taxi driver' is a classic, and then theres 'goodfellas' which is just awesome!

to many choices

[Sevmarick]

@monsterbot9 no no no Raging Bull

[mommyimadeapoopy]

taxi driver literally saved my life. i was (and still am) going through many of the feelings travis goes through in the movie,and was feeling completely alone. seeing it all portrated so perfectly,and beautifully(for lack of a better word ha ha) gave me hope. if scorsese,deniro,and paul schrader all went through this and got to the point they got to,maybe theres hope for me as well.

[oconstanti]

@mommyimadeapoopy

i can identify with what u just said totally

[bassmanUSSR]

I think directors like Tarantino and Kubrick leave their mark, however great it is, on cinema stylistically rather than in terms of all-out greatness. Don't get me wrong, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Dr. Strangelove are all in my top 10 films but it's directors like Scorsese who inject their films with raw passion and allow their pasts to lend more personal attachment to their filmmaking.

[bassmanUSSR]

Coppola was amazing too, Apocalypse Now and The Godfather being among my top 10 also, but I get a certain arrogance from his work. His daughter was also a shit actor :D.

I'm not a huge Leone fan, but I definitely acknowledge the talent the guy had. Fellini also. Hitchcock, brilliant; Coens, hilarious and brilliant too; Spielberg, very good but I don't find his stuff particularly hard-hitting. A bit too blockbuster-ish for me.

[bassmanUSSR]

I don't really like many "NEW, new" directors but I do like Burton and Aronofsky's work, as well as Christopher Nolan's.

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

@bassmanUSSR

Yeah, I hope I can bring that to the film I'm trying to do now.

It feels good to express and it comes out on it's own

I lurved Shutter Island and all his films

[Paperbagman555]

Best Director, writer! Also Tarrentino is legendary

[dannygonzy]

who is this geezer

never herd of him??

[leroyinc]

Director of great movies like "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "GoodFellas," and his latest, "Shutter Island."

[spartanpride15]

unless you were on the set while the movie was being made, i dont know how you could possibly come up with tht\at list

[leroyinc]

Film directing is judged by watching the film, not by observing the director on set as he is making the film.

[ScoonyBoy]

Scorsese rocks.

[bizzygrillcheese]

the departed was also a incredibly well directed movie

[shaunachmad]

why are they the best? have u give a sentence or 2 explaining why? I know it's big ask but. I rekon it's a good point to make

[TheArtofCinema]

I agree on most of these Films, but I think Casablanca deserves a spot in there....

also I think Godfather 1 was better than 2....

just my honest opinion.... and yeah, Saving Private Ryan can leave a whole football team crying within the first 30 minutes.... so I agree

[Bigfpictures]

[joeharder777]

To dantean: Yep..The Age of Innocence and Kundun were obviously films about Subhuman gooks...

[dantean]

Martin Scorcese knows more about the inner lives of sub-human morons than anyone has since the beginning of recorded human history. I certainly CAN wait til his next screen adaptation of some novel about violent cretins who've never had a thought in their lives higher than "ooga booga." After 6,324 such stories doesn't he even want to CONSIDER a tale which brings to mind, say, Chekhov, or Shakespeare--or even Albert Brooks, for God's sakes? I'm FROM Little Italy and find his work...obvious.

[tzs111]

I respectively disagree with you, Dantean. Scorsese's films are brilliant and they are character studies of not characters but "real" people. His realism makes him an intelligent filmmaker. Shakespeare's stories were by far brilliant but his characters are and will always be plastic.

[dantean]

I guess it's a matter of opinion, though it is the collected opinion of the rest of universe of the subsequent 400 years since Shakespeare wrote that his were the MOST fully realized characters ever created for the stage. Perhaps Scorcese will be the standard in the year 2400, but it's been argued by many, many that Shakespeare's conception of the individual is the one that has influenced the way all Western civilization views itself. You are, of course, free to feel differently. Thanks.

[tzs111]

You have a really good point there, I do respect Shakespeare's work but I doubt my opinion can be changed but I have full regards to you and your opinions because I can definitely consider you a literary intellect.

[Arun1080]

Dude, I have just seen Once Upon A Time In The West and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly in HD on HDNET in the past month for the first time. Sergio Leone is such an unknown legend. I still can't believe he was never even nominated for an Oscar.

[jimbopumbapigsticks]

Yeah, he is a legend. It was good of Clint Eastwood to dedicate his Oscar to him though.

[JesusCristo2002]

The majority of Kubrick's films are entirely different, so as a new comer you don't know what to expect. Kubrickian films are all psychologically and emotionally insightful, most of them are very bleek and show much insight. Preferably, as a newcomer I'd begin with "Sparticus".

[Owleyes888]

Love Marty!!!

[orduni90]

i was wondering the other day, did Scorcese ever worked with Al Pacino?

[LTadas]

No. Although Al was offered a role of Jimmy Conway in goodfellas but he refused and so De Niro did it.

[JesusCristo2002]

Spielberg, simply hasn't influenced like how so many other various filmmakers has though. Unlike Kubrick, Scorsese, Anderson amongst a few others Spielberg within recent years has had quite a few dissapointments.

[JesusCristo2002]

16. David Fincher

17. Ridley Scott

18. Michael Mann

19. Clint Eastwood

20. Wes Anderson

21. Guy Ritchie

22. Danny Boyle

I'm currently getting into foreign filmmaking specifically Akira Kurosawa and Jean Godard.

[MicrowaveDemon]

If you're looking into foreign filmmaking, yous should definitely check Andrej Tarkovsky, his films are breathtakingly ethereal!

[JesusCristo2002]

The top most inspirational filmmakers to me personally. 1. Stanley Kubrick 2. Martin Scorsese 3. Alfred Hitchcock 4. Francis Ford Coppola 5. Paul Thomas Anderson 6. Roman Polanski 7. Sidney Lumet 8. Gus Van Sant 9. Joel & Ethan Coen 10. Spike Lee 11. Tim Burton 12. Christopher Nolan 13. Woody Allen 14. Steven Spielberg 15. Darren Aronofsky

[roloug95]

OMG u can not putspeilberg 14th nomatter who u are

[ausmur90]

what are some good ones to try with Kubrick? never seen any of his i dont think

[Pssybart]

Among his most famous ones are:

-Spartacus

-Doctor Strangelove

-2001: A Space Odyssey

-A Clockwork Orange

-The Shining

2001: A Space Odyssey is one of my favourite films but it might seem a bit dull if you're not into it. Most Kubrick films require a lot of attentiion and you actually have to do an effort in order to like them.

[kenm31388]

Barry Lyndon

[TravisBickle72]

Marty is the greatest director working today.

[TheLazyThru]

I would really like to see Scorsese's DVD collection!

I bet he's got a few thousand, no joke.

[rtms1988]

@TheLazyThru I don't know about DVD's or Blu-ray but some film reels, I think that he has in his home or some place else. Anyway, it'll be VERY NICE to watch his film collection.

[cameronleigh1]

"I love DVD's". Isn't it nice to know mega-successful directors are just nerds like the rest of us. Interesting point about watching films on tv and selecting when you watch them. He metamorphosizes into fast talking gangster sometimes as you watch, it seems to me. He likesTheodore Dreiser, cool

[BertGriffin88]

Martin Scorsese,

Looking for original material; take a listen at BertGriffin88 and 17 of my original songs will become available.

[roloug95]

thats a pretty scary laugh at the end lol luv scorsese though =)

[durango112]

Steven who????

[roloug95]

he is amazing i still cannot believe that his first oscar was in the departed

[allaninq]

i think as a man of art, marty goes along with the greats...

[FriedEggsandChips]

Just a hair out of synch, but more importantly a great video with a great director, thanks for this!

[3274030]

Martin, you rock dude!

[coal1987]

The man is a genius!!

[fredblue35]

I am a inpiring Director and my idol is scorsese for doing Taxi Driver

[authorgirl86]

he is so adorable! I'd love to sit and have a long long chat with him he seems so sweet despite the violent nature of his movies

Hugs to you, Marty!

[danniexxx]

So is David Lynch! After seeing some of his strange and surreal movies you never tell he is such a calm and nice person. The thing is that, like so many directors had put it, violence in films are pure aesthetic.

[former7]
