Goodfellas
Based on the true-life best seller "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack, critic Roger Ebert declared GoodFellas "the best mob movie ever." It earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director and was named 1990's 'Best Film' by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. Scorsese was also awarded the Silver Lion Award in Venice.

Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway, and Joe Pesci, as the volatile Tommy DeVito, walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Academy Award nominees Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie. It's an electrifying, fact-inspired tale of living - and dying.

After Hours
This critically acclaimed 1985 film earned Scorsese a Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for a Palme D'Or. It was also named best feature film at the Independent Spirit Awards. In After Hours, a buttoned-down word processor's night out becomes a comic nightmare.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Ellen Burstyn was honored with a Best Actress Academy Award for her title role in this film, which also received two additional nominations - Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Diane Ladd. The story of a newly widowed woman and her son setting out on the bumpy road to a better life also features Kris Kristofferson, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Vic Tayback and Valerie Curtin. Considered Scorsese's first commercial success, the film became the basis for a long-running TV sitcom called "Alice."

Who's That Knocking At My Door?
This fascinating autobiographical drama was Scorsese's first feature film. It focuses on the relationship between a streetwise kid from New York's Little Italy who's hung up by his strict Catholic upbringing and an independent young woman (Zina Bethune). Stars Harvey Keitel in his film debut.
