for me I still think Mean Streets is the top Scorsese movie
Primarily because, and I know this was intentional but,
Spoiler for Spoiler:
the protagonist was such a sleazeball douchebag of an unlikeable character that it was painful watching him. Also, the plot was a bit stupid. Why did he want to kill the politician in the first place? That bit is never explained. What's worse is, why does he suddenly drop that ambition altogether and become fixated on the hooker? That has even less of an explanation and was a poor excuse for a "plot turn".


I did like the cinematography and the way the film captured 1970's NYC.
