Kroz remek-djela poput Taksiste i Razjarenog bika, Martin Scorsese je prikazivao Ameriku zagušenu prljavštinom savremenoga života.

Njegovi filmovi bave se raznim temama, od kriminalnih organizacija i korumpirane vlasti do pitanja duhovnosti i vjere. Budući da mu je mentor bio niko drugi nego John Cassavetes, još jedan pionir američkoga novog talasa poznat po improvizaciji, nije čudno što su se ti uticaji prelili i u Scorseseov umjetnički izraz.

Scorsese, kralj gangsterskih filmova, s pravom se ubraja među najveće američke reditelje svih vremena. Njegov intenzivan stil pripovijedanja uveliko je oblikovan inspiracijom iz svjetske kinematografije.

Scorsese nije samo reditelj, već i pravi filmski znalac.

Kao strastveni zagovaratelj svjetskoga filma učinio je više od gotovo bilo koga na podsticanju filmskih klasika iz svih dijelova svijeta.

Neprestano podsjeća na važnost filmske pismenosti i ističe da istorija filma ne smije da padne u zaborav.

Zbog toga su ga mlađe generacije ponekad kritikovale, posebno kada nije pokazivao oduševljenje Marvelovim filmovima, već se stalno vraćao vesternima Džona Forda.

Međutim, Scorsese upozorava da je smjer kojim tržište ide znak polagane smrti nezavisnoga filma.

Odrastao u filmskom svijetu od malih nogu, Scorsese ima nevjerovatno znanje o istoriji kinematografije. Zato nije izabrao samo deset, već čak 125 omiljenih filmova. Tokom godina objavljivao je i razne dopune te liste.

Njegov izbor otkriva nevjerovatno širok filmski ukus, spoj najvažnijih remek-djela 20. vijeka. Na toj listi nalaze se filmovi koje bi, prema Scorseseu, svako trebao da pogleda kako bi bolje razumio historiju sedme umjetnosti.
