Really? Raging Bull was Scorsese's best movie. Scorsese direction in that movie was jaw-droppingly good and Deniro gave his best performance ever and one of the greatest acting performances in film history in that movie. It certainly has a strong argument to be in the top 10.
No. 1 on my all time list.

+1. Goodfellas, Taxi Driver and to a certain extent even The Departed get all of the love but Raging Bull is an all around excellent movie. Also, one of the best performances by an American actor of all-time.
I've only seen Apocalypse Now, Citizen Kane, Raging Bull, 2001 and Vertigo from that list. I like/love them all so I can't really say this is a bad list. Not much of a Terrence Malick fan but I did think The Thin Red Line was, objectively, very good.

Have not seen.
Looking into Tokyo story right now. Tree of Life, heard plenty of praise and confusion.

Maybe. Just a personal decision of mine, like everyone's lists in movies. Scorsese makes entertaining movies - but there's another level of artists out there and I just don't think he's ever made a Top 10 of all-time movie.

"The Tree of Life"??????
What utterly pretentious crap. Come on, Roger... you're getting daffy in your old age.

2001 is far more advanced than the others in so many respects

Possibly my least favorite Hitchcock film.
It wasn't his favorite Hitchcock film in 1982 but he changed his mind in 1992.
quote:
One of my shifts last time was to replace Hitchcock's "Notorious" with "Vertigo," because after going through both a shot at a time during various campus sessions, I decided that "Vertigo" was, after all, the better of two nearly perfect films.

Where's The Godfather??
quote:
The other titles I consider the best work by their directors. I expect Coppola's "The Godfather" to be on this year's S&S list again, and it may even move higher. It is a great film. But "Apocalypse Now" is a film which still causes real, not figurative, chills to run along my spine, and it is certainly the bravest and most ambitious fruit of Coppola's genius.

Kinda shocked you are beating him up for "tree", Rex
But i agree

that's kinda odd because it wasn't even his favorite movie that year
I gotta allow him a mulligan there because he picked The Black Stallion over Raging Bull in 1980.

From the list, I'd recommend Aguirre first. It's one of my all-time favorites from the insane mind of Werner Herzog. Ozu is a master but he is just more of a minimalist. Herzog's movies, on the other hand, are literally madness caught on film.

Never seen Tokyo Story but I have seen the original. LINK

I have to agree with him making entertaining movies as of the last 20 years and I'm not a huge Scorsese fan but if any of his movies fit what you just described as artistry, it's Raging Bull.
The only other movie of his I enjoy is Color of Money but I think it has more to do with Paul Newmans' role of Fast Eddie. though. Nothing spectacular.

Tree of life....wtf 
Posted on 4/30/12 at 10:10 pm to tylercsbn9
Instead of bashing Tree of Life, you guys should look into maybe watching the other great movies on the list.

Best Hitchcock film = North by Northwest

Sometimes this board makes me .
No . . . seriously . . . out loud.
Look, it's impossible to name a totally static top ten list and Ebert knows it. As someone suggested above the list changes from time to time.
But this particular list has ten very worthy movies on it, although I may not include them on my personal top ten list. It's always going to be a subjective evaluation within reason.
By the way, "Apocalypse Now" is a mess, but that's sort of the point. As someone else said, it's a descent into madness on both the personal lever and metaphorically. I really didn't like it that much the first time I watched it, but I've grown to really appreciate it as a landmark film.
"Raging Bull" is a Scorsese masterpiece. It is a far superior film to, say, "Gangs of New York".
"Vertigo" would not be my choice out of all of the Hitchcock films but, shite, I couldn't make myself choose only one as my favorite. I could, at best, limit my list to 3 or 4.
"The Tree of Life" isn't my favorite Malick film but I thought it was a fascinating and, frankly, brave movie.
