Martin Scorsese

The first major Scorsese statement, raw and restless, already binding street life to guilt and spiritual panic.

An urban fever dream that turns alienation, fantasy, and violence into one of the defining American character studies.

A sports film only on the surface, really a brutal self-destruction portrait rendered with frightening formal control.

A humiliation comedy about celebrity hunger that has only grown more prophetic with time.

Scorsese proving he can turn one bad night into pure tonal velocity.

The gangster movie as seduction and indictment at the exact same time.

A studio-thriller flex where pulp excess becomes part of the pleasure system.

A Vegas epic about management, greed, and collapse, colder and more sprawling than Goodfellas.

Messy but enormous, an origin-myth movie about America as permanent factional conflict.

A remake turned into a live wire of paranoia, class aggression, and masculine panic.

Scorsese at his most corrosively funny, making excess feel thrilling and poisonous at once.

A late-period reckoning with American violence, greed, and institutional murder.
