    Martin Scorsese is our greatest living director, period. Famous for his mob films (GOODFELLAS, CASINO, MEAN STREETS, THE DEPARTED and, to a certain degree, GANGS OF NEW YORK), he is not simply a "mob filmmaker."

    He has also turned his camera toward such surprising and worthy subjects as a waitress raising a son by herself (ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE), a doomed romance in the form of a musical (NEW YORK, NEW YORK), the rise and fall of a boxer (RAGING BULL), a fame-starved would-be comedian (THE KING OF COMEDY), a pool shark (THE COLOR OF MONEY), a demented ex-con out for revenge (CAPE FEAR), the societal pressures of 1800s New York (THE AGE OF INNOCENCE), the Dalai Lama (KUNDUN), Howard Hughes (THE AVIATOR) and concert films and documentaries on The Band (THE LAST WALTZ), Bob Dylan (NO DIRECTION HOME), and the Rolling Stones (SHINE A LIGHT).

    Take into account his great if overlooked masterworks, such as AFTER HOURS, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, BRINGING OUT THE DEAD...:)
