Scorsese's best (nod to "ny...."):
Posted by tinear on June 5, 2007 at 05:17:53:
Mean Streets: De Niro becomes a star. Keitel is brilliant. Influenced many films strongly, such as "The Deer Hunter."
Taxi Driver: Again, brilliant performances: Walken, Savage, De Niro, Streep... how many stars here were born?
After Hours: Martin captures an entire generation. An overlooked gem which, because it doesn't feature mega-violence, often is forgotten. Again, it provided a stage for several actors that went on to greater success.
Age of Innocence: Again, because it's Scorsese, this is very underappreciated. An intelligent love story with tension and as much emotional violence as any shoot-'em-up. Daniel Day Lewis and (sigh...) Wynona Ryder ascend.
Last Temptation of Christ: Caused a sensation upon its release but, unfairly, it has been forgotten.
My Voyage to Italy: A documentary which will make you, if you now are not, a mega fan of Italian film.
