You have got to be kidding me. It's not close.

I said at the moment. He’s had 30 years to improve upon some of the stylistic elements and tricks. Like I said I acknowledge that Goodfellas is the better made film but keep in mind I’ve watched it over 30 times. It’s not fresh.

Understood. Did you like Taxi Driver?

reply

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

You know I still have not watched that or Mean Streets? I know, terrible. I have seen Raging Bull though and that is probably his most technically well made film.

In other words, once you've seen it 30 times, you'll change your mind. This is practically a confession.

I can’t say, hasn’t happened with King Kong. Goodfellas is also 30 years old.

YOU WATCHED THE IRISHMAN 10 TIMES?...WOW...THERE MUST BE A MEDAL OR SOMETHING FOR THAT.

It has a slow pace.

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

This is very troublesome for most people.

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

I knew you liked it more than you were letting on!

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

I liked it but Goodfellas is my all-time favorite.

reply

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

Yeah I think it is mine too

Personally I don't think either is among Scorsese's best work, but I do prefer The Irishman of the two.

What is, Raging Bull?

"Are you fucking my wife?"

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

Lol so that’s where Anderson got it for Boogie Nights

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

I don't think so but the whole Little Bill story was great.

reply

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

Idk he admitted the ending in the dressing room was straight up lifted from Raging Bull

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

That makes more sense.

reply

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

Yeah and obv the flashbulbs, freeze frames and whip pans are Casino.

reply

[–] rudeboymurray (3281) 5 years ago

Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ. I also have a soft spot for The Departed, perhaps his easiest film to just sit back and enjoy (he himself said that it was the first movie he had made with a plot!)
