Martin Scorsese is not only one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, he’s also a cinephile: someone who absolutely loves movies.
Knowing that, it might shock you to hear the famous director once considered entering the priesthood. Good thing for us he didn’t, amiright? He’s made so many classics like Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The Departed, and Raging Bull.
He’s also a fountain of great film recommendations. Scorsese frequently goes on the record about the films he loves, and here are 25 that the auteur himself considers essential.
