Mel Brooks Names Martin Scorsese's Worst Movie
Even the greatest directors have their off days, but since Martin Scorsese is one of the best ever, his lesser films still surpass much of what his peers produce. He sets such a high standard that even his mediocre movies remain impressive.
Scorsese's masterpieces include Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Goodfellas, and Casino. Films like Gangs of New York, The Color of Money, Cape Fear, and The Aviator are widely praised but, when compared directly with his best works, may not quite reach the same level.
Despite this, even Scorsese's average movies outperform what directors like Michael Bay achieve. Mel Brooks, an EGOT-winning legend, has a clear opinion on which Scorsese film he rates the lowest.
“The only reason I won two consecutive ‘Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series’ Emmys for my guest role on Mad About You was because ‘I’m Mel Brooks.’”
In a conversation with The AV Club, Brooks shared his thoughts on Scorsese’s career and hinted at his view on the weakest film from the acclaimed director.
Summary
Mel Brooks respects Martin Scorsese's legacy but candidly points out that even the maestro has films he’d rank at the bottom, underscoring the high bar Scorsese sets for himself.
