    In a career filled with great movies, Goodfellas is just too amazing to vote for anything else.

    Taxi Driver is more iconic. And to me, Cybill Shepherd's awkwardness as an actress actually fits the claustrophobia and paranoia of that movie pretty well.

    King of Comedy needs some love too, as does Hugo (if just for the visuals).
    Christ, I forgot about King of Comedy.

    That may actually be the winner for me.

    That's the kind of movie that you either love or absolutely despise.

    Yeah, King of Comedy rarely gets its due. I remember when it was coming out, thinking "Jerry Lewis...really?"

    And then wow.
    "Captain, it's a viewpoint--not one of ours! We're under attack!"

    "I see it, ensign! Engage amygdala! Transfer all power from frontal lobes!

    Suspend critical thinking field! Go to course heading of reflexive response 101 at full bias!

    I agree, I feel like the Departed is an inferior version of GoodFellas that in 20 years will have zero effect on pop culture while GoodFellas will still be quoted, well Pesci mainly.

    Gangs of New York. After that my favorites would be Shutter Island, The Aviator, Casino, The Departed, and The Color of Money. Only movie I can think of that I didn't really enjoy was Bringing Out the Dead. Honestly cant even remember much about it.

    Raging Bull is #1 followed by Taxi Driver then Good Fellas. Raging Bull is just so damn good.

    Never saw Taxi Driver, but I couldnt get through Raging Bull. Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance.

    Of the ones I've seen, I'd say Good Fellas.
    What would A World Without Lawyers be like?

    Watch Taxi Driver asap. You talkin to me? You talkin to me?

    As for GoodFellas, any film that features Gimme Shelter AND Monkey Man is automatically at worst a B+.

    Hard to believe some have not seen Taxi Driver and Goodfellas. Get on that pronto you won't be disappointed.

    I haven't seen most of those movies in a long time. Some of them I don't think I've ever seen.

    I picked The Departed by a hair over Gangs of New York. Leonardo DiCaprio and Scorcese are great together.

    Casino is my favorite movie so its a must I vote for it.

    Three dogs watched as a woman ate some food during the competition at Cruft’s Dog Show in Birmingham, England.
