Is Martin Scorsese America?s greatest living director? It?s open to debate, but most movie buffs would agree that he?s created a body of work that is astonishing in its consistency and depth. Scorsese?s films contain many grand themes ? organized crime, male insecurity, spiritual and moral uncertainty ? and they?re executed with a level of artistic panache and intimate detail that few can match. Scorsese has exerted a profound influence on many important directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, and John Woo. And with apologies to Lee and Woody Allen, Scorsese is perhaps the greatest cinematic chronicler of New York?s distinctive social landscape.
While he?s considered one of the most important filmmakers to emerge in the 1970s, the 2000s have found Scorsese enjoying yet another fertile period, one that culminated with The Departed, for which he was granted his first Best Director Oscar. With his latest, Shutter Island, hitting theaters Feb. 19, we?ve decided to take a closer look at some of Scorsese?s most important films. However, rather than rank them by Tomatometer, we chose the movies that we feel best define the man?s art and stylistic breadth.
So join us for a tour of Scorsese's career -- a journey that will take us from the Bronx to Vegas, from Tibet to Boston, with plenty of interesting scenery along the way.

Great article about a phenomenal director. Even though I think Scorsese's best movie is Goodfellas, my favorite one is Taxi Driver.

Raging Bull and Taxi Driver are two of my favorite movies of all time. I actually got to meet Mr. Scorcese once in New York City. He was really nice and seemed like a regular guy! It was very cool.

I go back and forth between "Taxi Driver" and "The King of Comedy." Those two films just absolutely pulverize me every time I see them.
If you want to read a great interview with a crew member on "Shutter Island", check out the following link - gives you a great perspective from being on the set of a Martin Scorsese movie:

Scorsese is a Great Director. Period.

Scorsese hasn't done a decent fictional feature since Goodfellas. I honestly think he peaked at Raging Bull, and it has been a gradual fall into Hollymediocrity since. I have much hope for Shutter Island, but anyone who thought The Departed has a single shred of artistry to it probably thinks that fart jokes are the highest caliber of comedy available.

I agree with Gordon Franklin. As I sat through last night's screening of Shutter Island it hit me like a brick in a pillow fight. One of the inmates (or haha patients) on the island used the N word.
It was completely out of place and smacked of desperation. This is typical of Scorsese films - he always forces the N word into his dialogue. Other movie makers have moved away from this but Scorsese feels a need to fulfill an N word quota. It's not a matter of realism - it's personal.
