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).
Running at nearly three and a half hours, Scorsese's return to narrative filmmaking in 2023 (after a rare four-year break) depicts the true story of the FBI investigation into a series of murders within Oklahoma's Osage Nation during an oil boom in the 1920s. Scorsese regulars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro head a cast that also includes Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, Brendan Fraser, and John Lithgow. The eighth Scorsese feature selected for the Cannes Film Festival, Flower Moon immediately won raves from critics at the festival who ranked it among the best films of the director's storied career.
“Killers of the Flower Moon is vast and vital in its scale, purpose and emotional scope, a Western-thriller and ensemble piece that is every bit a Scorsese crime picture as one can dare to imagine.” —Tomris Laffly, The Wrap
