After Hours

Re: Favourite Martin Scorsese film

I'll go with Goodfellas.

Re: Favourite Martin Scorsese film

One I saw fairly recently, HUGO (2011), a masterwork in my opinion. Of his earlier films that aren't quite as pleasant, I'm a fan of MEAN STREETS (1973).

I haven't seen RAGING BULL (1980), which is one that I think I might like. Most of his films are too violent for me, and several of them I just don't think are very good.

I do, however, admire his dedication to film preservation.

Re: Favourite Martin Scorsese film

Raging Bull is one of his most violent so you might want to skip it.

I watched Hugo on a cruise ship. I’ll have to watch it again one day because, although I liked it, it isn’t the best way to appreciate a film.

Raging Bull

Thanks so much for the warning about RAGING BULL. I have a feeling it's one of his better films, but I imagine its violence is why I let it go by the first time around.

As for HUGO, yes, you probably give it another view under better circumstances. I avoided it when it was first released, thinking I wouldn't like it. But I saw it recently on tv and was totally mesmerized by it. Wish I'd seen it on the big screen. It's beautifully done.
