Note* these are the ones I could think of that havenβt yet. My apologies if thereβs a region B copy I havenβt thought of; or if you can think of another director, feel free to suggest.
Tim Burton, George Lucas, Stanley Kubrick join in?
I have been on a movie watching spree and have been watching all of Scorsese's movies as I stumbled upon one of his least talked about movies of the previous decade "Silence" and my God what a movie it is. Without spoiling anything, it is based on a simple idea about our prayers to God and what we get in return - Silence.
To have such a simple idea and make such a compelling movie out of it speaks about the genius that Martin Scorsese is. All around brilliant acting from Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver and the evergreen Liam Neeson. The film is set in a Japanese background and the Japanese actors have performed really well as well.
And the ending, my gosh it will leave you thinking, thinking about meaning of life, faith, religion, God, spirituality and even your own existence.
A must watch Scorsese classic!
As the two big holdouts of directors who began their careers in the New Hollywood era, the filmography of Scorsese and Spielberg always fascinated me especially the contrast between both of their careers.
Both of them were snubbed for Best Director for their breakout films ( Jaws and Taxi Driver) even though the movie was nominated for Best Picture in favour of acclaimed foreign directors ( Fellini and Bergman) whose movies weren't nominated for Best Picture.
Both of them suffered their biggest setback in the late 1970s with 1941 and New York, New York and made an immediate comeback with their next films in the early 80s which are considered to be one of the best of their career ( Raiders of the Lost Ark, Raging Bull). This is in contrast to someone like Coppola or Friedkin who were sunk quite badly for a long time by One from the Heart or Sorcerer.
In the 80s there is a interesting contrast between the two directors where Spielberg is the king of box office yet critics refused to see his movies as prestigious or adult while Scorsese movies are considered to be prestigious or adult but aren't earning any money at the box office.
It took till the 90s where both directors were able overcome this image. Scorsese movies like Cape Fear and Goodfellas start earning decent money for their budget while Spielberg made Schindler's List which immediately shut everyone up about his movies not being prestigious or adult.
The most nominated editors for Oscars along with the ones who have won the most Oscars for editing are Micheal Kahn and Thelma Schoonmaker, both of whom have won 3 Oscars each for movies directed by Spielberg and Scorsese respectively. Both of them have been nominated 8 times, out of which 7 nominations are for movies directed by Spielberg and Scorsese respectively.
Scorsese is the 2nd most nominated director for Best Director Oscar while Spielberg is the 3rd most nominated director for Best Director Oscar. Even if Spielberg is nominated again for West Side Story for Best Director, he will still be the 3rd most nominated director after Scorsese.
Both of them have recently gotten controversy over their statements over recent trends in movies. With Spielberg it was regarding his comments about Netflix movies should not be nominated for Oscars while Scorsese got controversy for his comments on the MCU films.
Osim Ε‘to naΔelno imam problema s takvim odnosom prema potroΕ‘aΔima da se neΕ‘to naknadno uvjetuje, kako da ostavim recenziju na neΕ‘to Ε‘to joΕ‘ nisam ni probao koristiti?! Svakako Δu se potruditi uputiti prigovor, a ako netko od vas ima slicno iskustvo ili savjet kome da se jos obratim slobodno recite.
So this documentary is fantastic. It's basically interviews with big filmmakers about digital vs film. Really interesting! Definitely worth your time.

Scorsese movies like Cape Fear and Goodfellas start earning decent money for their budget while Spielberg made Schindler's List which immediately shut everyone up about his movies not being prestigious or adult. It's even more interesting considering that Scorsese and Spielberg had actually traded Cape Fear and Schindler's List which in a strange way allowed them to go to the opposite side of what they usually do.
