Every Martin Scorsese Movie, Ranked
Updated May 2023 to add Killers of the Flower Moon and Personality Crisis.
Is Martin Scorsese the greatest living director? He's certainly one of the very few who has a perfect record of green Metascores, receiving positive reviews for every single film he has directed—even though that film count has now surpassed 30. The average Metascore for films he has directed is above 78, another impressive mark.
In the gallery above, we rank every full-length feature that Scorsese has directed in his career by Metascore, ordered from worst (i.e., least terrific) to best.
Note: Short films are excluded, as are the 1970 documentary rarity Street Scenes (considered by many to be a short, though it's nearly feature length) and 1995's longform doc A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies (which aired as a portion of an even longer miniseries).
Working for the fifth time with star Leonardo DiCaprio, Scorsese and his Boardwalk Empire collaborator Terence Winter adapt the memoir of the same title by Jordan Belfort, recounting (with more humor than is typical in Scorsese films) the former stockbroker's rapid rise and equally rapid fall after being arrested and jailed for securities fraud. Nominated for five Oscars, it remains Scorsese's highest-grossing film to date.
