Scorcese deserves all credit in my opinion, particularly for The Departed which has remained one of my all time favorites since I saw it in the cinema. Wolf of Wall Street was also great fun! Age hasn't slowed him down yet.

I'm with Fred, Gangs of New York is massively entertaining. From a purely technical or directorial perspective sure it suffers here and there, especially compared to the rest of Scorsese's catalog, but the characters, setting, countless memorable scenes, and overall massive scale of the story is enough to win me over every time.

Seven Samurai, Lawrence of Arabia and The Seventh Seal are some of the movies I feel I need to watch at the moment, as well as Lars Von Triers Nymphomaniac. I also want to see The Theory of Everything and Boyhood. The best movie experience I've had in a long time was watching Birdman. Holy crap .. don't think I've been that impressed with a movie on leaving the cinema since I saw Watchmen.
