Even though the sequels were trash, Meet The Parents is still one of the best comedies of the previous decade. Stiller and De Niro played off each other perfectly.

[mae]

I, Robot still getting votes? :(

[Still Servant]

Little Fockers is a travesty. Seeing Deniro with a boner almost taints every performance he's ever given.

[Ricky]

I like Meet the Fockers well enough, but Little Fockers wasn't good.

[Mattrick]

If The Aviator loses to I,Robot, The Simpsons Movie, and Meet The Parents....

[mae]

I can't believe I'm wishing for more votes for The Simpsons Movie, but come on, I, Robot in Round 3? Is it in really in the Top 128 of the decade?

[mae]

I'm surprised The Simpsons Movie isn't doing better. Under the Dome is based on it! :)

[Ricky]

:lol:

[Still Servant]

I could not get into The Aviator. I'm not sure why. It probably needs a rewatch.

[Mattrick]

Damn right it does. It's top tier Scorsese.

Damn right it does. It's top tier Scorsese.

Top tier? How large is this tier? I've got Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull in the top tier. In the next tier I have films like The Departed, King of Comedy, Wolf of Wall Street, Gangs of New York and Mean Streets.

[fernandito]

Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Raging Bull are Scorsese's Big 3.

Everything else can fall under those.

[Mattrick]

Top tier Scorsese for me is Raging Bull, The Aviator, Hugo, After Hours, The Last Temptation of Christ, Taxi Driver, and Silence.


Then I'd have The Wolf of Wall Street, Goodfellas, Shutter Island, The Departed, Gangs of New York, Casino, Cape Fear, and Kundun in my second tier.

That's all the Scorsese I've seen.

The poll has closed. The following four titles are moving on to the next round:


Meet the Parents (60.00%)
The Aviator (56.00%)
I, Robot (52.00%)
Mulholland Drive (52.00%)


And the following two titles have been eliminated:


The Simpsons Movie (40.00%)
Dogtooth (20.00%)

[Still Servant]

Shutter Island is second tier? I think you need to make a third tier.
