not at the same overall in-depth level of Scorsese's classics, more like just a really fun movie to watch King Of Comedy kind of combines both aspects. After Hours is one of the coolest little flicks I've ever seen. Two underrated gems IMO are After Hours and King Of Comedy. not holding anything against that fuckin' classic movie. it could be just the mindset I was at the time though. Goodfellas, last time I watched it I was almost feeling like it didn't age too well, like some of the things that were innovative in its time like language and explicit violence have been so abused in the past ~30 years, some of the scenes were almost cringey.

it's one of the greatest movies of all time for sure. I believe Taxi Driver has got endless rewatch value but it's not the kind of movie you will watch at any random time you got to be in the right mood for it. Taxi Driver and Goodfellas are the gold standard. Imposible to pick the best if you're a big fan of the man. In the Marty film, DeNiro dials those elements up to 11 and its less compelling to me. I feel with Mitchum, he projects tremendous menace within the confines of a 60s film where much of the violence and sexual threat has to be implied or shown offscreen. Part of it, for me, is that I compare it unfavorably with the original, which i view as a total classic.Īs good as DeNiro is, Mitchum’s Max Cady will always stand out even more to me. Terrific DeNiro performance, don’t get me wrong but not one of my favorites from Marty. I think cape fear is good but not fantastic. I think the only thing that put some people off was the plot twist itself.

You got Jackie Earle Haley, Casey f’n Jones Elias Koteas, Michelle Williams, John Carol Lynch and many other good people in there as well. The scenes with Ruffalo, DiCaprio, Von Sydow (RIP) and Kingsley are awesome. It shows Marty’s technical prowess and its got a great cast top to bottom.
