Martin Scorsese is one of the most legendary directors of all time. The guy's had absolute classics added to his catalogue in FIVE different decades. Soon to be six. And he's got the swan song of mob films hitting Netflix later this year with The Irishman. In a lot of ways, Scorsese IS movies. He knows their history as much as he's contributed to it. The good folks at IndieWire have put together a list of the 35 films he wants you to see!
Check it out here, and keep track of what you've seen or still need to check out! (I wonder if we could all do our own lists too...)
