Martin Scorsese isn’t a big fan of top 10 ranking lists, he has revealed.Speaking to Time for a new profile, the filmmaker revealed that he was “always sort of against” the idea of top 10 lists.
When asked to rank his 10 favourite films, Scorsese told Time: “I’ve tried to make lists over the years of films I personally feel are my favourites, whatever that means.”“And then you find out that the word ‘favourite’ has different levels: Films that have impressed you the most, as opposed to films you just like to keep watching, as opposed to those you keep watching and learning from, or experiencing anew.

Among those films are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Citizen Kane, The Red Shoes and more. See his full list here.Scorsese’s next film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, is scheduled for release in cinemas across the globe in October, before eventually landing exclusively on Apple TV+.
