GOODFELLAS

Almost any of director Martin Scorsese’s classics could be included here, from Taxi Driver (1976) to Raging Bull (1980). But let’s single out Goodfellas, his dazzling take on the New York City mob scene in the 1960s and 1970s, which somehow didn’t lead to glory in the Best Director and Best Picture categories in 1991. Instead, Kevin Costner and his Western Dances With Wolves nabbed top honors. Scorsese wouldn’t win until 2007 for The Departed.
