Default Greatest Scorsese Movie of All Time - Final Four!

Well, I'm happy to see Raging Bull narrowly prevail over Casino. While I'm a big fan of Casino and all, the poll is for "greatest Scorsese movie of all time", not "favorite Scorsese movie constantly shown on TNT." Here are our match-ups today!

OK, after much true idiocy posted in the previous threads, OOT actually pulls it out and shows that we're not all absolute imbeciles. Granted, the inclusion of The Departed in the final four is unpeakably dumb, but there's some real hope implied by the fact that the best three actually made it through to the end.

The answer, by the way, is Taxi Driver. Raging Bull is a close second.

Departed should be up against How Stella Got Her Groove Back or maybe Godfather III.

It continually astounds me how the Departed get acclaim everywhere but on 2p2.

I am also amazed. It's almost like everyone on this site is afraid to admit a new movie is great. Only old movies are worthy of greatness? I didn't vote for it though cause I've never seen Taxi Driver.

Please don't take this wrong way, but I'd like to paraphrase your post:

"I've never seen Taxi Driver, yet feel the need to comment authoritatively about films."

I've seen both more than once and I like the Departed better than Taxi Driver. There, I said it.

Comment authoritatively? All he really said was that the Departed was good and takes too much flak around here, which is pretty much true.

I'm assuming you've seen every classic movie ever made.
