Just watched killers of the flower moon: I think it's one of his better ones, although I have a few nitpicks

Age of Innocence. Not a personal fan of the tough guy gangster stuff unless it's The Godfather.

Silence. Not the usual type of movie I see, but I thought it was beautiful, somber and excellently written/directed.

Mean Streets is very good and unmentioned, Wolf of Wall Street is another, but it's hard to go against Goodfellas.

Goodfellas can't be beat. But I've found myself rewatching Casino more often recently.

2. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
3. Goodfellas (1990)
4. The Departed (2006)
5. Casino (1995)

Also last 3 could use a rewatch.

I recently discovered that The Depahted is probably my favorite movie.

Marty!!! Kundun, I liked it!

I prefer The Departed, Casino and The Irishman though the order could change on the day. I've been meaning to give that last one a rewatch like the others but there is never the time....And all three of the spiritual history films are indeed massively underrated. Here's hoping KotFM finally knocks Goodfellas out of the top 10 on Friday.

The Wolf of Wall Street with The Departed being a close second.  

That said, Goodfellas, Shutter Island, Killers of the Flower Moon, Casino, Cape Fear, Raging Bull, and even Silence and Gangs of New York are all quite good (although some are much better than others)

I haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon yet.

The Aviator is actually my favorite of his films so far.

Waited until I saw Killers Of The Flower Moon before responding to the thread.

I'm happy just rewatching the end of The Departed where Marky Mark greases DiCaprio...

Also, I recommend Devil All the Time, as you get to see Tom Holland kill Robert Pattinson.

'Killers of the Flower Moon' is a three hour plus movie I actually want to see, unlike 'Oppenheimer.' I heard great things about it, and I'm confident that I'll enjoy it more than 'The Irishman.'

'Goodfellas,' 'The King of Comedy,' and 'The Last Temptation of Christ' are my favorites of his. 'Cape Fear,' 'The Departed,' and 'Silence' are great too.

'Casino' is meh. Like an attempt to make 'Goodfellas' again.

I feel compelled to mention my least favorite too though: 'Shutter Island.' F*** that movie.

I also tend to think that 'Gangs of New York,' 'Raging Bull,' 'Taxi Driver,' and 'The Aviator' are all overrated, not bad in the end, of course.

Edit: Forgot about 'The Wolf of Wall Street' which I like, but isn't exactly one of my favorites; and 'Hugo' which I f***ing loathed.

Unpopular opinion, but Hugo is Scorsese's only good film. He has a couple of other decent/ok films, but Hugo is the only one that I would actually call good (and it is a fantastic 10 out of 10 masterpiece).
