Top Scorsese about 4 years ago

Ok I think you (Olivier Bélanger, right over me) go a little far there, saying that Scorsese isn’t NOTHING compared to Bergman, I mean, yeah I love Bergman and he is one of the greatest, but you just can’t compare him to Scorsese since they don’t do the same thing at all….
So, to answer this topic: I think Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and After Hours are his bests… But almost everyone of his movies should be seen…

Similiar Movies about 4 years ago

Similar in the way that it’s about psychologic: Bergman. But since it says you’re a cinephile I suppose that you know Bergman and maybe don’t think he makes that kind of movies..?

Which movies would you like to see on The Auteurs? about 4 years ago

Ok wait a second, I can’t believe some people actually really think they’re gonna put some movies for FREE such as "repulsion, alien, etc.) I mean this is a website for some not very known films, and they are never gonna put movies from MGM, RKO, etc in here….

Zodiac was great, kind of a documentary…. but No Country For Old Men was this year’s best film I think. Hope “burn after reading” will be good.
