Done. Let me know if you need to change poll options

K-G, without giving anything away (you seem to know a lot about the film already, thanks to the script) I can tell you that the acting is spectacular in the film including all supporting cast and people who just appear in one or two scenes.

Where did you d/l the script btw?

Nice assortment of options. It's a good idea that Raging Bull was kept alone as it is the most important work of deniro and scorsese. I have to admit that i haven't seen nearly 12 movies in that list.

Quite a few documentaries included. Music documentaries in one category, and the other on films. I couldn't stuff-in "ItalianAmerican" with Scorsese's parents. It really is a good watch too.

Raging bull has no parallel. It's one of my favorites.

I removed Aviator, Alice doesn't live here anymore, Color of money, Cape fear, Gangs of new york - which are all unique and watchable (to my mind, Scorsese hasn't made a bad movie since Boxcar bertha

)

But "Boxcar bertha" will be among top 10 B-films made under tutelage of Roger Corman. I mean, every 70s filmmakers owe a great deal of service to Corman's exploitation films, and they eventually litter all over the generation's best films and best filmmakers (Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdanovich, Demme, Ron Howard, James Cameron, to name a few, started working under Corman, and went on to greater things).

I have seen 7 out of the 20 films listed. Still, i feel Raging Bull would be the best among all the films. Voted for the same. Marti is my favorite director after Kubrick and Hitchcock

Interesting assortment. But I have issues with the listing of a very inferior genre piece (The Departed) with the brilliant gangster trilogy.

Says Shahrukh, “Leonardo, Martin and I spent some time together. Martin was gracious enough to remember that he had met me in Cannes way back in 2002 when I was there for Devdas. (Good luck

) He wants to watch Devdas and I’ve promised to send it to him. I’ll do so right way.”
