I am only listing the films that I like.

The Age of Innocence

Hugo

Kundun

Although I would like to see his 'My Voyage to Italy (1999)' but can't find it at a reasonable price & it's not streaming anywhere either.

brat,

If you're really into documentaries, it's worth the bucks. It's so good, I enthusiastically rated it 8/10 at IMDb years ago.

In it, Scorsese talks in depth about Italian cinema such as Fellini's La Dolce Vita, which I sometimes consider to be a tad overrated.

He's a guy with a practically encyclopedia-broad knowledge of film.

Thanks, CF. When I checked around, the price was just way over my budget (over $75).

I've been taking a deep dive into art films recently and noticing how much Scorsese has to say on the subject. He's clearly dedicated a lifetime to studying the masters. But... how do I say this... how can someone with his knowledge & familiarity with classic art cinema be cranking out films that are so mainstream? That's not an insult, I'm genuinely curious. Scorcese makes great quality films that do really well at the box office, but wouldn't you think someone who adores brain twisters like 8 1/2, Roma & Satyricon would himself stray off the beaten path a bit?

It's kinda like if I were to become the world's expert on Beethoven, but when I put on a concert I play Billy Joel's Piano Man lol

Well, I would say that the three I listed above are 'off the beaten path', considering the majority of his films are in the crime genre.
