So following that Stanley Kubrick poll, lets ask the same about another great influential director, except with alot more prolific output that may or may not be more mainstream accessible. For the most part, pretty consistent.
Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, King of Comedy, After Hours, Last Temptation of Christ, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Casino, Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, won the Oscar (finally) for The Departed, and has a new picture out in a few months in Shutter Island.
So vote.

The question is, "How isn't he?" I know he has distinct quirks in his directing style that might not be everyone's cup of tea, but so do all of the greats.

Oh hell yes.
Goodfellas is in my top five films of all time and the rest of his work is just amazing.

Martin Scorsese is the guy who put New York cinema on the map, so I'd say, yes.

Is the sky naturally blue? dam you, stole my line. The best is that since his winery makes so much money, he doesn't have to worry about making pictures just for the money. |

Last Temptation aside, yes he's a good director. I can't pass up watching Goodfellas or The Departed when they show it on TV. Too much profanity comedically censored out to miss that.
