Martin Scorsese Countdown
Excited as I am about Martin Scorsese's new film "The Departed" (2006) - his first collaboration, not only with Jack Nicholson, but Marky Mark as well ! - I hand over the Martin Scorsese Countdown, a listing of his films from The Best to The Least Best, as I see it. Opposite of how most countdowns are performed, I know, but I go my own way, just like Martin Scorsese. There are many eerie similarities between us, you know - we are both Scorpios and neither of us has won an Oscar yet.
I've omitted the films I haven't yet seen - "Boxcar Bertha" (1972), "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (1974), "The Last Waltz" (1978), the documentaries, and the early short films.
I hear "Boxcar Bertha" rocks.
