Ranked: Martin Scorsese's Films
1976 Ranked
Lately, I have been on a spree of rewatching many of Martin Scorsese's films, partly in preparation for The Irishman, partly in order to reevaluate my opinions on each of those films. There was not a single film where my personal rating did not increase after the viewing, so it appears to have been a fairly successful endeavor. Taxi Driver had been on the top of my list of films which deserved another viewing.…

I get why they would try…
The big surprise break-out hit of 2017, "Get Out" has received a lot of critical acclaim and still should be considered to be an underrated movie; that's how good it is. The movie does not necessarily use the most original concept (we have seen similar things with "Rosemary's Baby" or "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" before), but the movie mainly benefits from its clever storytelling - because sometimes it's not about which story you are trying to tell, sometimes it's…

Never before have I found it this difficult to explain what exactly it is that is so good about a film.
