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).
Enlisting star Leonardo DiCaprio for his fourth straight narrative film, Scorsese and screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis adapt Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel about a marshal who investigates the disappearance of a patient at a rather creepy psychiatric facility in 1954. Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, and Michelle Williams also star. Critics found the resulting thriller to be one of the director's minor works, with an ending that is far better than the bulk of the movie that came before it.
“It's not a great movie so much as it is great moviemaking. It's basically a potboiler genre film, a B-movie with big talent attached.” —Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
