What do Walken, Savage and Streep have to do with Taxi Driver? You're obviously thinking of Deer Hunter, which isn't a Scorcese movie. What are you smoking.

You left out Kundun, which is one of Scorcese's strongest, IMO.

Casino is a masterpiece, beyond Goodfellas.

I hope a different director and cast tackles the Last Temptation of Christ. The book has so much more material to mine and (for me) yields such different characters than the movie, I feel Scorcese & co totally missed the mark. Keitel as Judas and Defoe as Christ? I'm not feeling it. What a waste. Similarly, age of innocence, while meticulously produced and directed, was sterile and boring. Incredible attention to detail and camerawork though. Gotta give Marty props for that.
