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).
Scorsese's two-part documentary about legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's rise to fame (and conversion from folk singer to rocker) in the period from 1961-66 aired as part of the PBS series American Masters in addition to making a brief theatrical appearance. It was Scorsese's first rock-doc since his lauded 1978 film The Last Waltz (in which Dylan also appeared), and the director would later helm a second Dylan documentary in 2019.
“It runs 3 hours and 37 minutes. It's too darned short.” —Jonathan Storm, Philadelphia Inquirer
