What do Walken, Savage and Streep have to do with Taxi Driver? You're obviously thinking of Deer Hunter, which isn't a Scorcese movie. What are you smoking.
You left out Kundun, which is one of Scorcese's strongest, IMO.
Casino is a masterpiece, beyond Goodfellas.
I hope a different screenwriter, director and cast tackles the Last Temptation of Christ. The book has so much more material to mine and (for me) yields such different characters than the movie, I feel Scorcese & co totally missed the mark. Keitel as Judas and Defoe as Christ? I'm not feeling it. What a waste. Similarly, age of innocence, while meticulously produced and directed, was sterile and boring. Incredible attention to detail and camerawork though. Gotta give Marty props for that.
You should at least mention Raging Bull, arguably the strongest character study in the history of film.
