The Departed-I like the movie the more I watch it.
Taxi Driver-So Iconic
Raging Bull-One of, if not the best, boxing movies
Goodfellas-Great mob movie.
Gangs of New York-I'm a history guy, so really like this movie on a subject that it often lost in American history.

Wow! I cannot decide as I love almost everything he does. I really liked The Departed, but Goodfellows and Casino are right up there too. And then there's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Maybe the title should be which one don't you like!

If I had to rank 'em it would go like this:

1. The Departed
2. Casino
3. Gangs of New York
4. Taxi Driver
5. Goodfellas

In reality that is more like 1a-e. I really really like all 5 movies.

Damn! Beat me to it!! I was going to say The Great Gatsby and see if anyone caught on.

I'm gonna go with The Departed...with Goodfellas just a hair behind.

All of the above movies are great (Goodfellas is my personal favorite), but I can't see how you can do a Scorsese poll without including one of his greatest and most criticially aclaimed films "Raging Bull". His biopic about the rise and fall of boxer Jake La Motta is one of the all time greats.

If you want to catch an early work of Scorsese with all the elements of GoodFellas, The Departed, et al, I suggest you watch Mean Streets. The movie was made in 1973 and starred a very young Harvey Keitel and Robert Deniro.

For me its Goodfellas (one of my all-time favorites), followed closely by The Departed. Gangs of New York is a solid third ... my least favorite? Cape Fear ... lame.
