Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Martin Scorsese has had an astounding career, and his movies ranked worst to best bring together some of cinema's finest. Over the course of fifty years, few directors have defined American cinema so thoroughly and indelibly.
24 New York, New York New York, New York was a curious choice for Scorsese, and it's clear that his ambitions got the better of him. Robert De Niro plays a small-time saxophone player who falls for a USO singer . Their relationship is messy, obsessive, and often deeply creative. It's obvious that Scorsese has a deep love for the musicals of classic Hollywood and there are moments of real old-school razzle-dazzle, especially when Minnelli belts those Kander and Ebb songs.
20 The Aviator For many months in 2004, Hollywood was convinced The Aviator, Scorsese’s biopic of Howard Hughes, would be the one that finally cinched him that long-sought-after Best Director Oscar. It’s not hard to see why The Aviator attracted such attention. It’s easily one of his most conventional movies and the one that seemed tailor-made for a particular brand of middle-of-the-road industry prestige.
18 After Hours After Hours sees Griffin Dunne star as a mundane office worker who experiences the night from hell that includes burglars played by Cheech and Chong, a gang of punks, bagel paperweights, and a dead woman. This deeply and darkly funny comedy features a murderer's row of sinfully underrated actors, including Catherine O'Hara. There’s a wonderful rough edge to After Hours that feels like the work of a much younger and freer director.
14 The Wolf of Wall Street The Wolf of Wall Street is overwhelming, frequently exhausting, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and that’s the whole point. The story of Jordan Belfort's scheming and scamming is pure excess, a deep dive into greed, hubris, and its ultimately crushing conclusion.
11 The Age of Innocence Following on from Cape Fear, Scorsese did a complete 180 turn and decided to adapt Edith Wharton's 1920 novel The Age of Innocence, and he delivered a startling and elegant piece of work. In what may be one of his most underrated performances, Daniel Day-Lewis plays a gentleman lawyer betrothed to a respectable young lady but who finds himself falling for her scandal-laden cousin.
