Martin Scorsese

When I examine my movie collection (500+ films) I cannot help but notice that the most prevalent director in my collection is Martin Scorsese. My Scorsese collection consists of Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, Casino, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, and Shutter Island. Scorsese has a very unique style of filming. Scorsese uses elements of expressionism to replicate psychological points of view. He also has a penchant for using actors over and over again a la the Coen Brothers. Scorsese used Robert De Niro in many of his films such as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, New York, New York, Goodfellas, Casino, and The King of Comedy. Now Scorsese is using Leonardo Di Caprio in a lot of his films. Scorsese also recently branched out into television with Boardwalk Empire about Capone controlled Chicago starring Steve Buscemi. Martin Scorsese is going to be remembered as one of the greatest contributors to modern cinema.
