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).
Considered the gold standard for concert films, Scorsese's 1978 documentary chronicles the final performance by The Band at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom in late 1976. Waltz intersperses interviews with Band members with performances from the evening, which found the group joined by an impressive roster of guests including Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Ringo Starr, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, and Bob Dylan (who would later be the subject of two additional Scorsese rockumentaries).
“The greatest rock concert movie ever made -- and maybe the best rock movie, period.” —Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
