    I've only seen 11 Scorsese movies, so....
    Mean Streets and The Departed would definitely be up there for me.

    Someone list all of the projects Scorsese hasn't made, but talked about. I know there's a Ramones documentary, Devil in a White CIty w/ Leo, and a Mike Tyson movie w/ Jamie Foxx.

    Goodfellas below Silence is an act of aggression

    Until it's in pre-production, I consider it fair game. Also a Bill Clinton documentary. I know I'm forgetting a few.

    Lol ok.

    The Sinatra pic, but that's confirmed not happening.

    Think Irishman, Tyson & Devil in a White City are gonna happen.

    Found a couple more:

    Mine (Martin Scorsese, 1981)

    Paul Schrader and John Guare wrote drafts of the script for this biopic about the American composer. Lavish production numbers of Gershwin’s works were to be related to scenes from his life as discussed by Gershwin on a psychologist’s couch. The project was canceled due to complications with rights and the fear that a young audience would not understand or care about Gershwin.

    Theodora (Martin Scorsese)

    The tale of Theodora and Justinian, written with Gore Vidal.

    i've probably seen about 10 or 11 of his films. enjoyed most of them and i need to watch the ones i haven't seen yet.

    as of now, my favorite film of his would be raging bull.

    my favorite scene is in taxi driver when he appears in the back of the bickle's cab. he does a fantastic acting job. he's very convincing and that scene its incredible!

    This thread also reminds me that I need to check out the Scorsese exhibit at the Museum of Moving Image before it closes in April.

    Lastly, apropos of nothing, here is a picture of Scorsese in an inflatable donut...
