My personal Scorsese top five:

1. Raging Bull: I know, I know, a lot of you think Goodfellas should be in this spot. I concede that Goodfellas may, on some objective level, have the edge over Raging Bull, but I just have to give the first place spot to the movie that personally impacted my artistic process the most. A stunning feature about a man who can only receive absolution and release through violence. 5/5

2. Goodfellas: An excellent movie; Martin Scorsese at his artistic and directorial peak. What else is there to say? Goodfellas is one of those rare, wonderful films that feels rewatchable, impeccably-made, and gripping all at once. The fact that Dances with Wolves beat this movie for Best Picture makes me want to storm the Academy gates and slay some voters Mortal-Kombat style. Don’t tell them I said that. 5/5

3. Taxi Driver: Putting Taxi Driver high on my list? Daring, today, aren’t I? In all seriousness, this movie is another visual masterpiece that focuses on a deeply flawed, alienated man at its center. Hey, Raging Bull was my top pick for a reason! And though this movie isn’t in my top spot, this film may include my favorite De Niro performance. 5/5

4. Goncharov: I knowww, everyone’s going to think this is the recency bias talking, but Goncharov is absolutely excellent and deserves a spot in my top five. The fact that this movie was almost archive-holed into oblivion by bureaucratic nonsense makes me feel insane. Can you imagine if this has happened to other movies of this quality? Okay, I digress. 1) Justice for Joe “Ice Pick Joe” Morelli and 2) Sofia Modigliani I am FREE on Wednesday night. 4.75/5

5. The Age of Innocence: Oh my god, I can’t believe I picked a lavish period drama as a top-placer in my list. Shocking! All jokes aside, I love this movie as a fan of the original novel (which is saying something!), and Day-Lewis, Pfeiffer, and Ryder absolutely knocked it out of the park. This movie feels somehow both uncharacteristic of Scorsese and quintessentially marked by his artistic sensibilities. 4.5/5
