    If the trailers spark any interest, I say they're all worth watching. I'd start with Sideways and The Wrestler.

    The Wrestler and 3:10 for me. The Wrestler is a fascinating character study, and 3:10 is an almost perfect Western.

    It was tough to pick the second film. The Wrestler was an easy vote. I went 3:10 to Yuma, but could have easily picked Sideways or Gangs of New York.

    Sideways. Sometimes I think I could watch nothing but Giamatti for a whole week.

    The Wrestler and Gangs of New York for me. I somehow missed 3:10 to Yuma, I'll need to add that to my watch list.

    I enjoy Gangs of New York for Daniel Day's performance and the visual flair but honestly it's not one of the better Scorsese films, too disjointed.

    I love Scorsese, but I thought the casting of Diaz was a terrible choice. I know she was hot at the time and the studio I'm sure pushed for a popular female lead, but she's out of place in that film. The romance alone is not needed.
