Quite a few that I still need to see. I am not a huge fan of his films – the only one I love, that I have seen, is The Departed.

Agree on Scorcese – he’s not really my style either; often seems to be about some rough-edged version of masculinity with (borderline) insanity thrown in. Disturbing in a not good way.
That said Goodfellas is probably the best mafia film ever (much prefer it over the Godfathers) and the got Sharon Stone’s career-best perfornance in Casino.

I am quite sure I have never seen Casino all the way through! My favourite Scorsese films seem to be the non-gangster ones. However, I don’t mind gangster films – just not his 🙂

I’m not big on the gangster/mafia genre but liked Goodfellas; Casino I’ve to admit I mainly liked because of Sharon Stone.I’ve to admit I find Pacino’s and de Niro’s shtick tiresome and repetitive. De niro branched out more, I’ll give him credit for that!

I’ll have to watch Casino – I like Sharon Stone too. After Basic Instinct I thought her career would have soared, but we don’t hear much about her nowadays. I really like De Niro, although I can take or leave most of his gangster films.

I have to rewatch Casino too, I’ve seen it many years ago and I don’t really remember it now.

I liked most of the movies I’ve seen from him, but there are a few I’m not a big fan of. My favourite at the moment is The Wolf of Wall Street, Goodfellas is close though and I have to rewatch The Departed. There are 8 movies that I haven’t seen yet but not any of his main ones. I’m looking forward to watch his latest one, The Irishman, it seems it’s gonna be among the contenders at the Oscars.

I don’t dislike any of his films, but he is not a director who I get excited about. I need to watch the ones I have not seen so I can form a better opinion 🙂

Not among my favorite directors and he doesnt seem to be genre-diverse so I usually skip his films…
