Top 5, in order:

Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
Casino
The Departed
Gangs Of New York

Remember the opening scene from Casino? One of my favorite film sequences ever. And you can't forget, "Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?"

[Porter's Dad]

I can't believe you left "Mean Streets" and had "Gangs.." on there. The ****?

Anyway, Scorsese is unquestionably my favourite director, and the run of films he had earlier in his career was truly magnificent. My order -

1. Taxi Driver - I think one of the greatest films of all time, achored by what I think is THE greatest performance of all time in De Niro's. It's like a horror films sometimes, so ominous and scary. Just an amazing study of loneliness.

2. Goodfellas - Another incredible film. You know a movie's good when you can get Joe Pesci to give a performance like he did.

3. Mean Streets - Wonderful film, and again, another amazing performance from De Niro. It's so raw and dirty, and really powerful. You believe so much in the characters. I love all the little scuffling in the movie.

4- Raging Bull - oddly enough, I didn't like it the first time I saw it. I think my expectations were freakishly high. The second time around, I loved it. A great, great film.

5. King of Comedy - Another early-ish Scorsese film. I'm not deliberately trying to be oscure and cool, but this film is great. And such a great study on the culture of fame and celebrity. Totally ahead of it's time.

After these five, it's probably Casino, After Hours, The Aviator.

I thought The Departed wa overrated, although maybe seeing the original movie that it was based on ruined my love for Scorsese's versions.

I thought Gangs was piss poor.

Still, Scorsese is genius, and still brings interesting **** to the table.

A true genius of cinema.

I'd have to go with Casino. Then Goodfellas, then The Departed. De Niro is my favourite actor and Scorsese is one of my favourite directors but for some odd reason I only ended up watching Taxi Driver not too long ago. It was alright but I didn't have so much of an appreciation for it as many do. But it had good lessons in it. And even though I didn't appreciate it that much, it might sound weird but there was a certain atmosphere that I liked in the film. Maybe it was the fact that it was from 1976. Still, it was a nice movie, it's just I anticipated something different. Anyway, Scorsese will be remembered for making one of the best mafia flicks, Casino and Goodfellas...

The Departed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Infernal Affairs.

The Departed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Infernal Affairs.

I thought both were no more than decent. More kudos to Infernal Affairs for being the original.

There were so many differences in the two.. Being original won't cut it for deciding which is the better film. But if you didn't like them, you didn't like them. That's fair enough.

I see that you're a fan of The Usual Suspects, though. Great movie. So cheers to common ground.

Funny thing is, I'm not actually paying homage to The Usual Suspects with the username. It was the first name I could think of when choosing to join my first ever internet forum (!) years ago, and it's just sort of stayed with me. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great film, but I tend to forget that my username is from that film. I feel like it's my own creation having had it all these years

Re which is better, The Departed/Infernal Affairs. Eh, I didn't really love either enough to have a definitive answer. I sort of zoned out of both films at certain points. The kudos comment was more about the notion that I'd give respect to IA on the basis that it was the original, or at least the one that obviously inspired The Departed. It's like Hendrix's version of All Along The Watchtower is better than Dylan's, but I always give kudos to Dylan for creating the original, which so inspired Hendrix, as IA did to Scorsese.

I got ya, it's a matter of giving props to the originator.

I also am sort of torn between Goodfellas and Taxi Driver as my number one Scorsese flick.

Did you see how fucking ripped Harvey Keitel was in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver? Jeez.. In my generation we saw him in resevoir dogs. So it's shocking, you know? Haha..
