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).
Unlike anything else in Scorsese's catalog, this 1993 costume drama (which in fact won an Oscar for its costume design) is an adaptation of Edith Wharton's 1920 novel of the same name, a romance set in New York in the 1870s. Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder head the cast. Critics certainly liked it, but audiences stayed away.
“Thoughtful and reflective, it stands with the most exquisitely crafted films in recent memory, joining eloquently conceived images to an uncommonly literate screenplay.” —David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor
