I agree with this, which is precisely why I voted for Marty. I still remember the first time I watched Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, being in the grip of their raw power and Scorsese's story telling deftness. That's probably why I count them all amongst my favorite films.

I can't emphasize enough how blown away I was by Taxi Driver. It completely hollowed me out. I might enjoy watching Trainspotting more, but in terms of power, Taxi Driver is pretty much unrivaled. Except by Raging Bull.

And After Hours had so much more punch than any "comedy" I've ever seen. And The Departed had so much subtext and pitch perfect scenes. And Mean Streets felt so real.

But I do love Danny Boyle.

Did everyone watch the premiere of Boardwalk Empire on HBO tonight? Scorsese rocks!
