It takes some brass ones to look at Leo Decaprio and think to oneself "yup, I'm gonna turn HIM into a legit actor!"
To be fair, Ol' Leo had some proper roles pre-Titanic, it's more that he was tarred with a "popstar blockbuster actor" brush because of the success of Titanic and a lot of critics expected him continue on that "poster boy" trajectory. These movies certainly helped him break away from that, though.

Tbf to Leonardo DiCaprio he has always been a decent actor I think, it's just Films like Titanic just don't do anything for me personally.

I really liked Shutter Island, I actually didn't realise that Scorsese did that Film.

Agree with your list but I’d swap around 1 and 2. For me, Taxi Driver is just the best movie I’ve ever seen to a point. An amazing character study of a movie.

Honourable mention - Mean Streets.

What do you wanna see?

Tarantino only directed 10 films and I've only seen 9 of them, so I couldn't do a top 10. The only other director I've seen 10 or more films of is Hitchcock. I could do his top 10 or I could do a genre or a decade of your or anybody else's choice.

Thanks ... a top 10 / top 20 gangster movies thread would be nice ..

Maybe some top 3 or top 5 threads then ...

Tarantino , Coen Brothers

Which one haven’t you seen Alf?

Tarantino has technically done 9, not 10 - Kill Bill 1&2 are classed as one movie. He’s doing one more (number ten) and then jacking in, so he says...

Good, but not good enough for the top ten.

What kind of film counts as "Gangster?" I understand that mobster/mafia kind of films count, but does gangster also include films about gangs such as Warriors or A Clockwork Orange? What about organised crime films such as Reservoir Dogs and Oceans Eleven, do they come under the gangster genre?

Mmmmm I kinda just associate mobster movies with the mafia tbh

Goodfellas
Sopranos
Godfather





Maybe a separate crime thread excluding mafia movies and one for crime drama series ?
