i went with Gangs of new york cuz its the only one ive seen yet. been meaning to see the rest just never have an hour and a half to watch a whole movie
He should have got Oscars for at least one out of Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and Casino. I don't know how he didn't get best picture for so long, The Departed was one of his weakest films, imo.
I don't think so. I remember leading up to the Oscars after he made Aviation the talk was he'd never won best picture and he'd probably get it for that, but of course didn't.

Scorsese's Oscar Losing Streak Departs

It took three decades and eight nominations, not to mention close to four hours of awards show banter, but Martin Scorsese's Oscar moment finally arrived, courtesy of The Departed.
The legendary filmmaker's long-running, well-chronicled losing streak officially came to an end at the 79th Annual Academy Awards when he was named Best Director, while his South Boston thriller earned the title of Motion Picture of the Year.

Scorsese had previously been nominated five times for directing and twice for screenplays.

The Departed won four awards in all, more than any other film. In addition to Best Picture and Director, the mob epic picked up Best Adapted Screenplay for William Monahan's script and Best Film Editing for Scorsese crony Thelma Schoonmaker.
So yeah, that's right. I thought departed was a good film, but no where near as good as a number of his other films. I think it was kind of a way of just giving him the award since he deserved it for so a number of other projects.
i voted casino because ive watched it a bunch of times and enjoy it everytime. goodfellas is fuzzy to me but still a dope flick . i aint watched it all in years
