The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • November 13 - 19, 2022 BEST MARTIN SCORSESE MOVIES "Taxi Driver" (1976) "You talkin' to me?" Robert De Niro is iconic as cabbie and vigilante Travis Bickle in Scorsese's moody drama. "The Last Waltz" (1978) The final concert by music's The Band is documented brilliantly by Scorsese, who had been an editor and assistant director on "Woodstock." "Raging Bull" (1980) Robert De Niro nabbed an Oscar for his remarkable transformation as boxer Jake LaMotta in Scorsese's gritty biography, also boasting superb supporting work by Joe Pesci. "The King of Comedy" (1983) Robert De Niro is typically great as an obsessed fan, but the true revelation in Scorsese's comedy- drama is Jerry Lewis, in a knowing and rather chilling performance as the talk-show host who's the object of the obsession. "The Color of Money" (1986) Paul Newman reprised the role of pool shark "Fast Eddie" Felson, and won an Oscar for it, in this unofficial sequel to "The Hustler" that also marked a significant career step for Tom Cruise. Notable in the cast as well is Forest Whitaker. "GoodFellas" (1990) Widely considered Scorsese's masterpiece, this first-rate, fact- inspired crime drama casts Ray Liotta as a Mob novice mentored by veterans (Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci – who won an Oscar here as a hot-tempered underworld lieutenant – and Paul Sorvino). Always worth observing in a viewing of this film is the superbly chosen soundtrack, sort of a hit parade spanning the 1950s through the 1970s. "Cape Fear" (1991) Robert De Niro offers a chilling update of Robert Mitchum's 1962 role as an ex-convict targeting his former lawyer (Nick Nolte). Smartly, Scorsese gave Mitchum and original co-star Gregory Peck roles here, and the first version's Bernard Herrmann score is used again. "The Age of Innocence" (1993) Edith Wharton's novel gave Scorsese the means to dive atypically into a period drama, beautifully executed. "Gangs of New York" (2002) Another period piece, but with much more energy, was Scorsese's saga of the conflict between mid-19th-century gang leaders (Daniel Day- Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio). "The Aviator" (2004) Scorsese's portrait of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio) also captures the era's Hollywood in great detail. Cate Blanchett won an Oscar as Katharine Hepburn. "Casino" (1995) Many key "GoodFellas" players including Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and co-screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi reunited with Scorsese on this saga of Las Vegas and the Mob. Sharon Stone was a strong figure in that year's film awards, winning a Golden Globe as the woman in the De Niro character's life, for better and worse. "The Departed" (2006) Director Scorsese earned a long-elusive Oscar for this Americanization of the Hong Kong drama "Infernal Affairs," with a cop (Leonardo DiCaprio) and a mobster (Matt Damon) infiltrating each other's spaces. Jack Nicholson contributes superb supporting work. "The Irishman" (2019) Some clever technical trickery helps Scorsese trace the career of an underworld deputy (Robert De Niro) over many years.
