@@henry2707 There is no such thing as perfect movie? I agree But the closest cinema got to perfection and flawless filmmaking is Goodfellas, The godfather and 2001 A Space Odessy. Goodfellas is a flawless movie.
Tbh I kinda wish he’d switch it up a bit. Not that they don’t work well together, but I’d like to see a different leading man in a Scorsese flick for a change
Charizarzar yah when directors find good actors that they have great chemistry they like to keep them around cause they can fulfill their vision. Tarantino uses Samuel L Jackson a lot and Wes Anderson uses Bill Murray. U know

you know, i very carefully scrolled through this so i was able to see the rankings first...and then i saw you already did it for me. oh well. thanks anyway homes
I guess that's because not as any people have seen "Raging Bull". But yeah, that is objectively wrong. It is without a doubt Scorcese's best. I don't even see how you could dispute that. And last time I checked, it was in the top 20 greatest films of all time on Sight and Sounds top 100/1000 greatest movies of all time, and that list is compile I'm probably the best way you could attempt to make an objective list like that. If I had to guess, though this is only the third video of his I've watched, I'd guess that he's just trying to be an edgy boy by choosing Scorcese's best movies last, and his worst movies first. And to go further, I'd say the motivation for this would be because he knows it's going to make the comments blow up, which the algorithm favors. So obviously it worked lol.
I think most of his judging for top 10 was based on how unique he felt for liking the movie. Like there are consensus top all time films outside of it but the thing he repeats for the top 10 is “they’re underrated”.
I had a feeling he was gonna underrate the movie when I started watching. The guy seems like young film student. Raging bull has alot of complex human elements that you can't learn through studying film theory. The older I get (I'm still pretty young) the more interesting the movie gets. Side note, why did he put w.o.w and casino in front of goodfellas when both those films borrow their structure from goodfellas. Given this guy sounds like he only just discovered scrocese I wouldn't take his opinion too seriously
Goodfellas is my favorite out of all of these. Was my introduction to Scorsese and mob flicks. Somehow I felt like I’ve been in some of the scenes before (none of the violent ones lmao). I didn’t just feel a connection to the characters, I felt I knew them. Especially Lorraine Bracco, who apparently looks like my late great aunt who passed before I was even born.
In terms of The Aviator, personally one of my favorite films and the most underrated Scorsese film in my opinion. Loved the way the character of Howard Hughes is shown in his true colors, love the music, characters, love everything about it. I have a personal connection with Howard Hughes as I am also a person with similar OCD. Also Leonardo DiCaprio's favorite role he's played too
I didn't even realize how long Wolf of Wall Street is, I thought it was like 2 hours long at most. That movie moves at a breakneck speed but never feels rushed, if that makes sense
Here's how I'd rank Scorsese's films. 23. The Incredible Hulk 22. Thor: The Dark World 21. Iron Man 2 20. Captain Marvel 19. Thor 18. Avengers: Age of Ultron 17. Ant-Man and the Wasp 16. Iron Man 3 15. Spider-Man: Far From Home 14. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 13. Captain America: The First Avenger 12. Ant-Man 11. Doctor Strange 10. Avengers: Endgame 9. Guardians of the Galaxy 8. Thor: Ragnarok 7. Black Panther 6. Spider-Man: Homecoming 5. The Avengers 4. Captain America: Civil War 3. Iron Man 2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 1. Avengers: Infinity War
Hey Karsten I just want to thank you about making all your video essays. I am a 13 year old who really wants to get into a high school film School and you are really helping me making short films 🙏
I know it’s one of his less talked about movies but I love The Aviator. As someone with OCD, I haven’t seen another movie come close to depicting the disorder as accurately as it was in that film.
@@matthewcraker6729 when you say "old timey shit" do you mean when it was made or when it's set? Either way, that's a pretty dumb outlook considering there are other fantastic movies for both times
I thought The Aviator was all about authenticity, integrity & reaching for the stars. It could be seen as holding a mirror to Scorsese’s own career. It was very affirming to me and holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorites. When it comes to the ending and that feeling it leaves you with, I agree, I noticed that inconclusive endings are very common amongst Scorsese films.

I saw hugo as a kid for one of my birthdays in cinema. You're absolutely right as in i don't remember the scenes all i remember is having no idea what happened in it. But every time i think of it i just have this feeling of awe, i think just the cinematography and how beautiful it was left me in awe as a kid. I couldn't say why or what happened but i knew i loved that film. Only now imrealising that is when i fell in love with film. Im a style over substance gal and that must be why.
Im the only one thats gonna point out how weird is that someone who makes a youtube career out of movies reviews have never ever heard of Scorsese???? He is just amongst probably the top 5 movie directors of ALL TIME alongside Hitchcock, Tarantino, Spielberg, Cameron...
Well I never read any of his books but the ones I watched are The Green Mile The Shawshank Redemption The Shining I'm planning on watching Carrie and Misery. Not interested in IT, IT 2 or any other (no offense)
Shutter island is one of my favorite movies of all time, I think it’s supposed to start out very sharp and clean and as he starts realizing things and going crazy the feeling gets messier because we are watching through a view of an actual falling apart psycho person
@@maxxvii2037 The production design and cinematography is outstanding as well. There is just a little issue with the writing of movie. Besides it pretty damn good.
Ngl when Pesci got shot I felt horrible because throughout the film he talks about being made. Then the scene when it’s the day he gets made and he gets shot it really broke my heart.
Very interesting takes on these films. Not the ranking you'd normally see, but I like it. My favorites will probably always be The Departed, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Raging Bull
Goodfellas is probably the most watchable movie of all time IMO ive seen it countless times and everytime it gets me fully engaged in its story. Also i think this list just shows how different some peoples tastes are, Cause IMO his best movies were the ones you ranked so low, The Aviator, Casino, Raging Bull, Goodfellas. Also i understand not liking Gangs Of New York, But wow DDL is incredible in that film, One of his best performances, Legit bugged me you didnt even acknowledge it tbh lol
the reason scorsese made "the aviator" was to account the life of one of the most fascinating and influential people to have worked in both film and aviation. Howard Hughs' contribution to aviation and cinema has been far overshadowed by the infamous stories of his impulsive and outlandish behavior, and people often forget that he is unquestionably one of the most important figures in aviation, and this film sort of reestablished him as an extremely important american pioneer in the eyes of the american public.
@@sleepingpowder1595 it is, unquestionably, his best film from the 21st century. While "Silence", "The Departed", and "The Irishman" are also amongst his finest works, "The Aviator" is an example of a film firing on all cylinders. As far as biopics go, its right up there with "Raging Bull" as being one of the best.
Lol. No offence but isn’t your comment just restating who the biopic’s about before listing off his achievements? I get that it’s about Howard Hughes...but as a movie I can’t see what this Martin Scorsese picture offered that we couldn’t have got from a Howard Hughes biopic made by any old director. Of course it’s made to a good standard due to Scorsese at the helm, but I still don’t think it offers much uniqueness or much of a statement to justify its existence amongst Scorsese’s best films. Like I wonder what the Aviator offers that a Howard Hughes biography book doesnt offer I mean you compared it to Raging Bull as well, but Raging Bull takes a lot more of a unique artistic direction as a movie and is often remembered primarily as a unique & original Scorsese film and then the fact it’s a true story biopic is then usually an afterthought.
I still find The Aviator enjoyable though, even if it makes for a fairly long viewing experience. But seeing as Chris Nolan says the best screenplay he’s ever written was for his unproduced HH biopic starring Jim Carrey, then I often wonder what that film would’ve been like instead of the Aviator
Mank 0069 Understandable. I think you’re reason for disliking it is the reason I like it. It’s one of those “slice of life” films. Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, and King of Comedy are my top 3. Casino is definitely a top 10 for me, though. It’s still an amazing film.
When people ask me what my favorite movie is I say "Goodfellas", but I do understand that its not for everyone. Thank you, however, for recognize its ENTERTAINMENT VALUE... because that is exactly why I love it so much. Goodfellas keeps you into the movie, and it is extraordinarily re-watchable.
So happy to see After Hours in your top 5! I think Taxi Driver and After Hours share number one for me. I can’t decide which is better, maybe After Hours, technically and for its insane ambition and imagination, but Taxi Driver always flattens me. That character study is so profound. I would put King of Comedy as 3, just because it’s a little small, a little limited. It’s amazing though. You don’t mention the shirt he made, Life Lessons, which I would put in the same position as Cape Fear. It was made during his hyper lyrical phase, shot by an incredible Cuban cinematographer and another great portrait of NY and specifically Soho. Did you mention Kundun? Not a standout for me, that one, and I wouldn’t put any of the films with Leo anywhere in the top 10, but to each his own!
I would imagine no one would agree with your rankings of his films. Definitely all personal opinion. The beauty of his films though, is that 100 different people could rank his films, and no one would have the same list. My big gripe would be goodfellas ranking behind casino and irishman. Clearly your not into the gangster genre, but Goodfellas is a great film period.
Yeah, it's his opinion, does he say anything else? He clearly states that he thinks Goodfellas is a masterpiece but that he has trouble relating to the characters.
Karsten, 1. To answer your question about The Aviator. As you know, Scorsese likes to make movies about people he relates to (whether we do is a different question) who have some character trait he shares but more extreme-see Bickle, La Motta, Father Rodriguez, Henry Hill, etc. After Gangs, it seems to me, Scorsese became as much an historian-as-artist as a pure filmmaker-consider Hugo and The Irishman, and the history of psychological treatment in Shutter Island. Who better to portray at the beginning of a new century (2004) than the greatest industrialist of the last, who made huge movies, slept with major stars, and fell into insanity watching films in isolation. I think Scorsese related to his personal and professional triumphs and the mental toll. 2)., I like that you expressed resistance to Goodfellas. While I think it’s a great movie, I think it is often misunderstood by adolescent-minded boys that like the combination of women and violence with fast-paced cocaine shots. 3)., It’s a shame you haven’t seen Kundun, as that is any even more visually rich movie than Silence 4)., I love your analysis of Alice
Here’s my top ten 10. Shutter island 9. The Departed 8. Casino 7. Mean Streets 6. The Irishman 5. The Wolf of Wall Street 4. The King of Comedy 3. Raging Bull 2. Goodfellas 1. Taxi Driver
My personal favorites of Martin Scorcese films: 1. Taxi Driver (1976) 2. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 3. The Departed (2006) 4. Goodfellas (1990) 5. Raging Bull (1980) 6. Silence (2016) 7. The Irishman (2019) 8. The King of Comedy (1982) 9. Mean Streets (1973) 10. Gangs of New York (2002) I love watching this movies, amazing cinematography, casts and even the music used in each films...
I’ll admit. I gasped at your ranking of Goodfellas (my #1) but then I remembered your ranking of Ratatouille as your #1 Pixar film and then I calmed down (my #1). Appreciate your perspective.
Nir Yovel Studios I would too. I’ve only watched both once, but I just didn’t find A Clockwork Orange to be quite as intriguing. Eyes Wide Shut is extremely mysterious and you never really know for sure what is going on. A Clockwork Orange relies on shock value to achieve its full effect, and the shock value isn’t as effective as it was at the time. Eyes Wide Shut was pretty shocking with the orgy, but it’s not reliant on the shock. It’s based upon the mystery, and that’s why it’s so great.
A Clockwork Orange might have some terrific performance, visuals or a big production set. but I wouldn't call that thing a masterpiece. Clockwork Orange is nothing compared to Eyes Wide Shut

i remember LOVING hugo as a kid and my family actually went to it in the theaters twice. but i also couldn’t tell you anything about it, i don’t know anything about the story, characters, plot. or anything. but considering i saw it when i was 8 and still remember seeing it is pretty telling.
I don't. Its an ok movie, dont get me wrong, I just dont love it nor I have ever wanted to watch it again. One of the worst (least good) Scorsese movies, in my opinion.
Here's my top ten: 10. The Irishman (2019) 9. The King of Comedy (1982) 8. Mean Streets (1973) 7. The Aviator (2004) 6. Raging Bull (1980) 5. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 4. Shutter Island (2010) 3. Taxi Driver (1976) 2. The Departed (2006) 1. Goodfellas (1990)
The Wolf of Wall Street is new movie that's why not at the top in most people list due to old nostalgia associated with iconic movies of the past. But objectively, it's the most entertaining and thought provoking movie of all with its underrated ending. Not just a brilliant comedy, but also the acting was just top notch. It's the best movie among all other gems.
“Gangs of New York” had some kitschy costumes, but they way it unpacks really complex political themes and subverts audience expectations is truly brilliant
I can't really put my finger on it, but there is something I so immensely like about this movie. It's a bit over the top, but in a good way. I guess it somehow just managed to convey the tension between different groups of people inside a young, new nation, without a well established national identity.
The King of Comedy was the first Scorcese movie I saw, and I loved it. I need to give it a rewatch, as I saw it a long time ago, but I really loved this movie.
I remember seeing a trailer for Silence and thinking it looked really cool and different. Then it came and went super fast and I totally forgot about it. I will be seeking it out now.
just watched bringing out the dead and came back to this vid to say what an amazing, nuanced musing on grief and guilt. It also made me laugh a lot, like when one of the para's makes a load of goths form a prayer circle in a club.
I had my wife and I do a bunch of Scorsese movies one year. We watched Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and King of Comedy. Of the 3 she liked King of Comedy. I agree there’s something so simple about story but it’s funny while also being uncomfortable while also being funny and even a bit scary. That performance by Sandra Bernhardt is incredibly creepy.
I admit I was holding back disdain throughout most of this (part of the Goodfellas mob), but I really do appreciate the love you give for the underrated King of Comedy at number 1👏
