I would personally rank them:
- Casino
- Goodfellas
- Raging Bull
- Shutter Island
- The Wolf of Wall Street
- The Departed
- The King of Comedy
- Taxi Driver
- Cape Fear
- The Age of Innocence
- After Hours
- The Color of Money
- Mean Streets
- The Irishman
- Who's That Knocking at My Door
- New York, New York
- Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
- Silence
- Kundun
- Hugo
- Bringing Out the Dead
- The Aviator
- Gangs of New York
- The Last Temptation of Christ
- Boxcar Bertha
Some notes: Casino is not only my favorite Scorsese movie, but probably my favorite movie ever.
Leo's performance in Wolf of Wall Street is one of his best and I think he should have won the Oscar for it.
As time passes the more Nicholson's performance bothers me (too cartoonish) and how it would be better with De Niro in the role (but he was filming The Good Shepherd).
Always had a hard time rewatching Taxi Driver, very unsettling.
I went to see Hugo at the theaters when it came out in 2011, but 10 minutes in the electricity at the mall went out so they gave everyone an open-ended ticket for 1 movie. For whatever reason I didn't use the rain-check on Hugo and never saw it till this year.
For the poll I used Scorsese's ten most voted films in IMDb's, so take it up with them.
