Well, I vote Raging Bull because it's deffinately Scorsese's masterpeice, and a bigger cinematic achievement than anyother film he's done. However, Taxi Driver is coming in a close second, with Goodfellas and Mean Streets tied up in third.

Hey, now that I actually go through the poll, you just listed all of the films he did with De Niro, except for New York, New York. (I'm not laughing at you, I'm just laughing because it's stereotypical of this site...) By the way, how was the King of Comedy? It's the only Scorsese-De Niro joint project I haven't seen yet.

I will give the reasons in a lengthy boring post if you all demand it.

I can't tell you how angry I get when someone dismisses a movie as "stupid" or "boring" with no further explanation. These Scorsese films are ones I have yet to see. Later I will write out explanations for the ones I did see. ------ The King of Comedy My Voyage to Italy Kundun The Age of Innocence New York Stories (he did a segment) The Last Temptation of Christ The Color of Money After Hours Italianamerican Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore Who's That Knockin' At My Door I also need to see his shorts.

If I recall correctly, Scorsese himself even appears to be embarrassed by it, per his comments in the TCM documentary on his films.
