->Ask yourself this: what is Creator/MartinScorsese's greatest film? Many would go for one of the seventies classics like ''Film/MeanStreets'' or ''Film/TaxiDriver'', although the monochrome wallop of ''Film/RagingBull'' probably packs more of a punch. The hyper kinetic ''Film/GoodFellas'' has stood the test of time, too (without it, we wouldn't have ''Film/BoogieNights''), and even ''Film/{{Casino}}'' has gained stature over the years. For sheer mischief making controversy you could argue that ''Film/TheLastTempationOfChrist'' was Marty's finest hour - clearly it's his most personal and passionate work. My vote is ''Film/TheKingOfComedy'', a note-perfect dissection of psychopathic celebrity culture in which Creator/RobertDeNiro channels the ghost of Travis Bickle for darkly satirical ends. But according to Oscar history, the defining pinnacle of Scorsese's career to date is...''Film/TheDeparted''. Yup, that's right - as far as Oscar voters are concerned, maestro Marty's greatest film is the remake of a Hong Kong actioner which had a far more memorable English language title (''Film/InfernalAffairs'') than Scorsese's Oscar winner, the name of which no-one can ever remember. How's that for a killer pub quiz question?
