  You can tell it was made by a master. And I'd rather watch an interesting failure than a successful mediocrity. There's quite a bit I love about The Aviator, and I don't actually think it's a failure in any sense, just not up to Scorsese's very best.
  
  I will have to disagree with you - perhaps Scorsese doesn't translate well for you? But he is "the real deal".
  
  But to my mind he is one of the great living filmmakers:
  
  Mean Streets
  Taxi Driver
  The Last Waltz
  Raging Bull
  Goodfellas
  
  Five absolute film masterpieces, plus a list of interesting, if not perfect, films:
  
  Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
  After Hours
  New York, New York
  Casino
  Bringing Out The Dead
  Kundun
  The Aviator
  
  Many will disagree about Bringin Out The Dead, Aviator and Kundun...I don't care :-)

    Masterpiece?
    
    Ok I think that he is a master in cinema knowledge, that is his really master being.
    Now I saw Aviator only once and I would not pretend that I ever had the wish to see it twice.
    But I will comply to my duty because if you, whose mind about films I care of, and will take a second as open mind look I can.
    
    Now maybe he do not translate well to me, I am afraid, I do not feel an affinity to his work.
    I love his films on film.
    Now maybe we just don´t fit together.
    
    In due time I will post again on the Aviator.
    
    Now it would be boring if we did not disagree from time to time. When I think that Victor don´t appreciate Hitchcock...

• Mean Streets, Taxi Driver. After Hours. Goodfellas. Oh, I almost forgot, - tinear 20:34:37 07/30/09 (1)

  Raging Bull and The Last Temptation.
  And Dylan documentary.
  And super doc on Italian film history.
  C'mon, one needn't knock a great director to build up another.
  I'd say Scorsese is El Greco and Hitch is Rubens.

    Ok for the Dylan, but the rest is not enough for El Greco who he, was a GENIUS:
