Top 5:

Taxi Driver
The King of Comedy
Raging Bull
Wolf of Wall Street
Shutter Island

The all time greatest filmmaker for me. Almost all of his films are a masterclass in filmmaking and storytelling.

I love Marty and his sensibilities. He just keeps putting them out there and moving on to the next story. It's a shame he's not the head of some studio, but then we would lose his voice and the joy of seeing his work so often. Still... I would give him the job of like CCO for a film studio if it were up to me.

I remember watching Marty in Robert Ebert's documentary 'Life Itself' and how he almost cried because Ebert was really supportive of him and his movies in the 80's, even though Marty was going through a tough time in his life (depression among other things)

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

He knows how to tell a great story and can make it look and sound beautiful. Every shot is amazing and purposeful. What more can you ask for from a filmmaker?

Rumor has it they did not become closer friends because both decided it wouldn't be professional to do so.

Before ya'll keep making your top 5 Scorsese films, I want to know what feature films from his filmography ya'll still have not seen.

I love his use of music in his films. He's been very influential on me in that regard. The whole "last day as a wise guy" montage near the end of Goodfellas is amazing in its composition, combining music and images.
