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).
After detouring into period costume drama with 1993's The Age of Innocence, Scorsese returned to much more familiar territory in 1995 with this epic gangster drama based on a Nicholas Pileggi book and starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci—yes, the Goodfellas formula. But instead of the latter film's New York setting, Casino takes place in Las Vegas in the 1970s. Sharon Stone (who received an Oscar nomination) and comedian Don Rickles (praised for his against-type dramatic performance) also star. Critics think it's hampered a bit by its excessive length (at nearly three hours) and an uneven script, but is otherwise solid.
“Whether or not Casino meets your expectations, it delivers the rush you only get from an audacious gamble.” —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
