Plain and simple, Martin Scorsese is easily one of the best directors of all time. It would seem that any film that he takes control of is destined for greatness. When going through his catalog of movies, it surely appears that most of his movies are incredible. At the very least, they all have his signature touch.

This article will discuss and analyze what I consider to be the greatest films directed by Martin Scorsese.

It goes without saying that one movie I have to include on this list is Taxi Driver. This is an incredibly interesting film, in that it is a commentary on the Vietnam War without ever showing the war itself. It's not a war movie; it's a movie about the effects of war on soldiers. It's also about a crazy taxi driver.

Another film that Martin Scorsese directed that I really enjoyed was The Aviator. As good as Leonardo DiCaprio was in this movie, I thought Kate Blanchett was absolutely spectacular. If I didn't know better I would have said that she was born in the 1920s after watching this movie.

One Martin Scorsese movie that I absolutely loved was Goodfellas. This movie often gets thrown around in the discussion with The Godfather Saga as the best mafia movie of all time. The crazy thing is, Goodfellas is based on a true story.

One other fantastic movie which Scorsese directed was The Departed. This, of course, was the film that finally won him the Academy Award for Best Director. While I think earlier movies were well deserving of it (Goodfellas, Casino, etc), this movie was definitely a worthy candidate.

One film of Scorsese's that I absolutely loved was Casino. Robert De Niro played the role of Sam Rothstein, a man who rises to become one of the most powerful men in Las Vegas. Joe Pesci is also great in this movie. Sharon Stone is evil in this movie.

These are just some of the best Scorsese films of all time. Chances are if you are watching one of his movies, it is going to be great.
