	theoneandonlytony's Rating	My Rating
1	Shutter Island (2010,  Unrated)
2	Shine a Light (2008,  PG-13)
3	The Departed (2006,  R) Personally I thrive for Scorsese's mainstream stuff and i'm not afraid to admit that, those who say they've been loyal followers from Taxi Driver etc... well I'm not... but I live for movies of this calibre. Its perfect in its own right. Apart from all the refrences to "Cock" this movie is an outstanding piece of cinematic history. Its got the legend that is Nicholson as the notorious gangster, something he carries off effortlessly as if his entire persona is sleaze and corruption. Matt Damon, someone who is constantly overlooked to prove himself... totally does it in this movie. Actually watching him would keep any audience member on the edge of their seat as his corrupt American dream humanity is constantly competing against DiCaprio's entire professionalism. In my eyes this is probably Dicaprio's hiatus role. His performance as out-of-luck undercover cop with the venerable side is captivating and I haven't seen a performance this good in many movies. The direction is effortless, it flows beautifully, and how separate lines of story merge together so completely makes this one of the best directed movies I've ever seen. My hat especially goes off to Mark Wahlberg, an actor who I'm not really interested in, for proving me wrong and being very memorable in this. Violent! Snappy dialogue. Outstanding performances. Effortless direction. Perfect.

19	The Last Waltz (1978,  R)
20	American Boy: A Profile of: Steven Prince (1978,  Unrated)
21	New York, New York (1977,  PG)
22	Taxi Driver (1976,  R) Totally, Totally *Hands Up* Underestimated this movie the first time around. There's a reason it's a classic, even if like me... you don't see it at first. Turns out... it's actually a pretty fucking cool movie! Even from the opening its raw. It's powerful. It makes a statement. I feel like people could study this movie forever and then it'd still only be the tip of the iceberg in terms of the vast content and range of interpretations this movie has to offer. Both De Nero and Scorsese shine in creating and representing the trials and values of one man's search for connection, meaning and validation in an incarcerating society. Set against Hermann's musical score is just intoxicating! "Listen, you Fuckers, you Screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the Scum, the Cunts, the Dogs, the Filth, the Shit. Here is a man who stood up." It's sad to think of how this movie lost out at Academy Award time to other contenders such as Rocky, All the President's Men and Network... but equally I think we can all recognise how this movie on it's own merit has stood the test of time.
23	Mean Streets (1973,  R)
24	Boxcar Bertha (1972,  R)
25	Who's That Knocking at My Door? (1967,  R)
26	The Big Shave (1967,  Unrated)
