Man, Scorsese. What a fucking master. Wonder what he's got coming up after Wolf Of Wall Street.

I would have said Silence is the next one, but after those dickhead producers that hold the rights to Silence publicly tried to slander Scorsese for stalling on the flick and threatened to sue him (only to be made to look ridiculously stupid after the actual terms of their deal came out) there might be bad blood there.
Scorsese might even go and do The Snowman next.
But I really do hope it's Silence.
Snowman is the De Niro one?
Yeah, Silence sounded massively interesting. I'd hope Scorsese has enough passion for the project to push it through.

No, Snowman is not the De Niro one. The De Niro one is Frankie Machine/I Hear You Paint Houses.
Great film
Oooh yeah, that title's flooding back to me now. And so's the Snowman, the Jo Nesbo book. Sweet, cheers for the info.

Arthur Christmas has a terrible title, weird character designs and annoying, video game cutscene feeling camera moves, but it is such a better movie than people give it credit for.

The greatest.
Isn't it The Irishman?

Yes, that is another title being floated for it.

Really one of the greatest.
First time I saw it I wasn't really feeling it; enjoyed it but it wasn't anything special.
Seen it like 11 times since. Maybe I shouldn't have watched Taxi Driver when I was like eight bwahah
Not my favourite, but its up there. It's fantastic.
Mind you, catch me on a given day and I could give you probably 10 I'd call my favourite.

Probably.
It's my #3, under Taxi Driver and Goodfellas.

For some reason I can't stand The Departed. It feels like a parody to me. There's something about it that ticks me off. It's a good movie by most standards, I just don't like it very much.

It's aight
Maybe it's because of the editing? It looks amateur-ish sometimes.
1. Goodfellas
2. The Departed
3. Hugo
Crucify me now for not seeing Taxi Driver and Raging Bull yet.
the departed is scorsese's unintentional comedic masterpiece.
i have it blu-ray for a year now, but i still haven't given it a proper watch. i've only ever watched it once.

It does, it's also the characters and Jack. All I know is it doesn't feel to flow as natural as his earlier work. Also, it's too cartoony.

I really like both Hugo and The Departed, but couldn't in good conscience list them in a top 5. Neither of them is even his best work the past decade.

I liked Hugo more than I liked The Departed.
this is how i feel about hugo.

Taxi Driver is appropriately being listed as Scorsese's best, but no mention of Mean Streets hurts. Easily my second favorite that I've seen. Still need to see Raging Bull.
It's brilliant but its very raw. It's incredible to see the progress he makes in the 3 years between Mean Streets and Taxi Driver as a film maker.

Goodfellas for me probably. Love Departed, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull also.
Huge soft spot of Casino.

I love Raging Bull, but yes, Mean Streets deserves more mention now and then. I really like that movie, plus it has young cool De Niro.
Absolutely,I love it's rawness too. It's what made me like it so much.

Absolutely.
Yesterday I saw Argo. The movie was good, technically amazing, some incredibly tense moments, but it wasn't what I expected. The characters weren't that interesting and I think the movie failed to explore some of its themes. I absolutely love The Town and specially the way it made me question a lot of issues about morality and the human condition. Argo had none of that, the movie just wanted to tell it's story and that's it. Cinematography was decent, just functional. The other thing that bugged me was the ending, nothing wrong with that, but I hate happy endings.

I watched The Avengers earlier today with all the talk about how ugly it looked. On a second watch many scenes and the way they were shot looked very unremarkable and bit ugly to be honest. It had a tv show feeling to it at times. The last action section really makes the movie.

Jerry's Law:
When someone really has nothing to say they will call the subject hipster.
my unseen scorsese's are my plan for this winter break, I think. assuming I finish up kieslowski and cronenberg. so probably not.
because it's awesome
I don't know if this law really deserves your name on it

Yup. Best film he made in the last decade.
