Absolutely one of my favorite movies.

Where does it rank in terms of Scorcese’s best films?

The strange irony of this movie is it being funded by the big Malaysian scam. Billion dollar whale is a great book.

It’s an entertaining watch. It’s not truly rewatchable from start to finish.

Definitely not top 5 Scorsese flick. Probably top 10 though

I’m sorry, but you can’t name 5 better films Martin has made that I will agree with.

I’m more Casino than Goodfellas, but I will concede those.

Taxi Driver? Fine that works.

I’ve never seen Raging Bull.

This movie is better than Gangs of New York.

It’s just as good or maybe a little better than the Departed. Even tho I absolutely love the Departed.

It’s a good movie, but I don’t give that much credit to Hollywood for it. The story made itself.

Just looked at his list. I like the Color of Money a lot and Cape Fear was good.

Killers of the Flower Moon should be interesting. Wild story that few people know about...

Oh fuck yeah bud.

I hope they do the story justice.

Leo could only play a villain in that movie right?

I loved cape fear when i first saw it like 20 years ago. Rewatched it recently and it was bad. Couldn’t even get thru it. I was blown away how over the top it was

Scorsese maybe has 2 or 3 films left in him to direct.

I think/hope he’ll go all in with his vision in those films.

$26,000 worth of sides!

The sides, the sides did cure cancer, that's why they were so expensive!

This movie is 3 hours long.

It should have won Best Picture.

I understand Leo couldn’t win best actor because Mcconaughey crushed it in Dallas Buyers Club.

Every Rob Reiner scene in this movie is classic.

fair movie at best, definitely not one of his top 10. Pretty insulting to even suggest that.

Bullshit Shakes.

Gimme your top ten.

That’s a silly comment.

i thought the movie was eh.....

more hype than anything else being Leo and Scorcese. it was ok. nothing memorable stands out for me. Like one poster said, not a movie you would want to watch again.

Taxi Driver
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Goodfellas
King of Comedy
Mean Streets
Raging Bull
Last Temptation of Christ
After Hours
The Color of Money

And that's not even getting to "Casino" or "The Aviator"...

if you think WOWS is better than the above listed, that's just wrong. it's a decent movie but it's pretty derivative.

It was nowhere near as good as Boiler Room which tackled the same subject.

I’m a BIGFAN of dark comedy, so that’s prolly why I rate it higher than most.

I don't think it properly portrayed the context of wall street during that era or the misery his actions caused low level investors.
