I think I got all of his most critically-acclaimed stuff in there, but put 'Other' in the poll in case I missed something or someone prefers one of his other films for some reason.

Raging Bull.  End of discussion, lock the thread.

Toss up between Raging and Goodfellas.

Earlier I was watching The DEPAHTED which is what prompted me to create the poll. :cool:

King of Comedy is better than all but 2 or 3.

Have to give the final edge to Raging Bull.

Although, I don't know what's more disappointing:  Shutter Island, or the fact that Shutter Island was in the poll instead of Last Temptation of Christ.

Shutter Island was hillarious for the total lack of subtlety.  It's like the whole first twenty minutes of the movie, they just keep blaring the 'this island is bad news' theme louder and louder and louder.  Around the time they actually got to the psych ward, I figured that the speakers in the theatre were going to blow.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Need to see a few, but After Hours is my favorite of the quite a few I have seen.

Concur with Neil about Shutter Island, though I found its Twilight Zone-esque storytelling enjoyable.

Voted far Casino, possibly because I've never watched Goodfellas in its entirety.

Casino is a great film but Goodfellas is definitely better.  I highly recommend that you check it out.

I don't get what's good about Raging Bull. Boring movie about a major asshole. YAWN

Apparently, there is a sequel to Raging Bull in the works.  :hmm:
