In Reply to: IMHO, Scorsese is a genius, an American icon, and more hit than miss. posted by Audiophilander on November 21, 2002 at 08:47:24:
is the one that does it for me; I think Martin Scorcese is a brilliant director, American or not
He knows his subject and he gets the best out of his actors, I don't think Robert De Niro has ever been more credible as an actor than when he's been in a Scorcese film

Follow Ups:
Eric, De Niro is one of few great actors of our time, no doubt about it. As such he doesn't need much help to open up. I however would not deny that there is a possible synergy between him and Scorsese, but that by itself doesn't make Scorsese a great director. Work of a "great" director should be considered against the best of his peers, and if looked from that perspective I don't think he is in the first dozen.As you know very well, the competition in that first dozen is fierce.
