Taxi Driver
New York, New York
Raging Bull
The King of Comedy
After Hours
The Color of Money
The Last Temptation of Christ
Goodfellas
Cape Fear
The Age of Innocence
Casino
Kundun
Bringing Out the Dead
Gangs of New York
The Aviator
The Departed
Shutter Island
Hugo

The Wolf of Wall Street opens next week and Scorsese is a god. I'm sure that movie will be great. But, what's his best so far?

My vote: Goodfellas
 
Taxi Driver

Tied for second, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino.

He also directed the best music video ever, in terms of being a music video. Michael Jackson's Bad.

Taxi Driver, with King of Comedy as a close second. Didn't really care for anything after GoodFellas, although I have some nostalgic love for Cape Fear.
 
Taxi Driver, then Raging Bull, then Goodfellas, then The King of Comedy, then Casino, then Mean Streets, then After Hours...

...then The Departed, then Last Temptation of Christ, then The Aviator, then Cape Fear, then Gangs of New York, then Color of Money...

...then all the rest (in any order).

My order based on the films I have seen.

Goodfellas
The Aviator (great Leo performance).
Taxi Driver
Gangs of New York ( just a wonderful almost comic book film. Leo sucks in this one).
Casino
Bringing out the Dead
The Departed (Leo again is the worst part of this film).
Cape Fear
Raging Bull
The Age of Innocence
Shutter Island (Leo again redeems himself for the two shit performances in previous Scorcese films).
Mean Streets
Kundun
Hugo
The Color of Money


I actually like every one of these films.

Best: Goodfellas
Most important and original: Mean Streets (Goodfellas is just this style of cinema perfected).
Favourite: Taxi Driver

I don't mean to alarm you but you have dogs on your face
That's really difficult, but I'd have to say Taxi Driver.

taxi driver or the king of comedy

probably taxi driver overall. they're both outstanding character pieces but the way the hermann score and cinematography combine to put you in this nightmarish version of new york is mesmerizing

It's always difficult to pick a "best of" anything for me. If I had to choose one to watch again right now though, it would be Casino.
 

Kastrioti

Persecution Complex
Its between Goodfellas and Gangs of New York for me...if i had to choose one it would probably be Gangs of New York just because of Daniel Day Lewis.
 
Casino is my favourite, followed by Goodfellas/Taxi Driver

I watched The King of Comedy recently. My God! The level of awkwardness was overwhelming. Crazy movie
