Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />@ jonwinters<br /><br />Thanks for joining! <br /><br />Touche! Kubrick's imprint on the medium is profound. 2001, Clockwork, Full Metal Jacket, and Lolita are all considered timeless classics, although, I have yet to see Lolita. <br /><br />In terms of a revisionist take on film, many scholars would make the same contention. Scorsese's work is widely revered, but Kubrick is iconic. His influence can be tied to any modern director.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-70770672257805003912011-01-26T21:42:21.545-05:002011-01-26T21:42:21.545-05:00they are both very respectable directors for sever...they are both very respectable directors for several different films, but if we're choosing one over the other, i'd say kubrick has more range. the shining remains as one of my favorite movies (even though i still think shelly duvall is kind of a twit). plus 2001, clockwork orange, full metal jacket, lolita...jonwintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568182174919940595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-69333640585009181262011-01-26T21:12:01.083-05:002011-01-26T21:12:01.083-05:00Indeed, superb directors, albeit, I prefer Kubrick...Indeed, superb directors, albeit, I prefer Kubrick over Scorsese.<br /><br />Interesting post :)Just Wendy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05268645629027109282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-48711846791693885652011-01-25T21:58:04.061-05:002011-01-25T21:58:04.061-05:00coolblogger,

One thing I have always appreciated ab...Thanks JL!<br /><br />One thing I have always appreciated about Scorsese (and also why I adore Tarantino's work) is his undying love for film. Scorsese has such a wealth of knowledge about movies, and this fact really shines through in his work. <br /><br />He makes a movie for the people, by the people, of the people. A democratic everyman of cinema. And his talent is undeniable. Watching Raging Bull or Taxi Driver will confirm this fact. <br /><br />I also enjoyed both Shutter Island and Gangs of New York. Shutter Island gets better with multiple viewings. Gangs of New York just oozes fun awesomeness, as you point out JL. I am also glad you referenced The Departed. That movie is phenomenal!<br /><br />I've seen every Kubrick film post-Dr. Strangelove (1964). Lolita and The Killing are two that I have to get around at some point. I've read only glowing reviews about these films.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-4882445003217021232011-01-25T15:19:21.848-05:002011-01-25T15:19:21.848-05:00I'm with you Matt.

I'd also add Casino, Mean Streets, The Aviator and The Departed as Scorsese films I enjoyed.<br /><br />On Dez's mention of Shutter Island and Gangs of New York. Shutter Island I think got a bad wrap for some reason. I actually enjoyed the movie. Not my favorite movie of last year, but enjoyable nonetheless. And Gangs of New York is just awesome really. Great acting, fun vengeance tale, good period piece. I thoroughly enjoyed that one.JLhttp://www.couchpotatoclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-15255801954598070602011-01-25T11:32:06.008-05:002011-01-25T11:32:06.008-05:00@ hwidman

You follow me, I follow you.<br /><br />@ Dezmond<br /><br />Haha I knew you would be the first to bemoan Scorsese. The fact is, I disagree. But I respect your opinion. <br /><br />Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas are universally praised among a diverse slew of scathing critics. They have to be on to something. <br /><br />Plus, I think Scorsese is dually talented at creating enjoyable cinema while not compromising style or substance. It is a beautiful marriage of technical oeuvre. <br /><br />There has to be ONE Scorsese film you really liked!FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-71000406203210262362011-01-25T11:26:46.470-05:002011-01-25T11:26:46.470-05:00@ Melissa

I also loved the score, especially "I'm Shipping Up to Boston."<br /><br />@ Jaccstev<br /><br />Yeah Kubrick passed away close to a decade ago. If you want to familiarize yourself with some of his work, your going to have to go back and watch a lot of his older films. They're classics! <br /><br />I'm also a huge Scorsese fan as you may already know. I love his sensibility and many of his movies are just so enjoyableFilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-34231663756240007962011-01-25T08:57:09.169-05:002011-01-25T08:57:09.169-05:00Kubrick has some nice films, but I never understoo...Kubrick has some nice films, but I never understood the love for Scorsese, most of his films are visionless and bland to me, and some even horrible like THE GANGS OF NEW YORK, SHUTTER ISLAND, and plus he adores Leo DeCaprio, whom I find totally talentless :)DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-18082621212241500082011-01-25T03:16:05.325-05:002011-01-25T03:16:05.325-05:00good info!
