The Martin Scorsese Hall of Fameten slots, built film by film across his whole filmography
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore 1974
The late curveball pick over Mean Streets, added for Ellen Burstyn's Oscar-winning turn and a rare Scorsese movie centered on a woman.
Taxi Driver 1976
An easy green, called one of the five movies he'll be remembered for. Landed at No. 29 on the 2022 Sight and Sound poll.
The Last Waltz 1978
The Band's farewell concert film, a 'definitive green' for capturing Dylan, Clapton, Joni Mitchell, and Robertson on one stage.
Raging Bull 1980
An automatic green. De Niro's Jake LaMotta transformation is called one of the most virtuosic filmmaking performances ever made.
The King of Comedy 1982
A hard green for Chris and Sean: a prescient black comedy about celebrity, made when Scorsese felt shut out of Hollywood entirely.
Goodfellas 1990
The unanimous pick, the one movie that came up when all three hosts described what first taught them how to watch movies.
Casino 1995
Added late, edging out Age of Innocence and The Color of Money, even as the hosts admit it retreads Goodfellas' ground.
The Departed 2006
His Best Picture and Best Director winner, singled out for kaleidoscopic editing and needle drops the hosts call a new mode for him.
The Wolf of Wall Street 2013
Called an 'auto green,' Leo's best performance and a satire of capitalism the hosts say has only gotten more prescient.
The Irishman 2019
The closing slot, a meditation on mortality that caps the Goodfellas/Casino gangster throughline, the last pick before the group turns to Killers.
