I can't vote, because I can't decide between Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, After Hours, King of Comedy, Last Temptation of Christ, and The Age of Innocence.

Tough one, but I finally went with Jake LaMotta, over Travis Bickle and Johnny Boy.

Casino and Raging Bull almost won for me, but the endless love I have for Travis put him on top. And it just inspired me to watch TD which I haven't watched in a few months, so thanks!

Goodfellas

I guess I am in the minority who can't stand Taxi Driver.

I wouldn't vote Goodfellas, it was good and enjoyable (Funny how? scene) but it went no more than that. I would vote either Raging Bull or Taxi Driver.

I think he was a better director on Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, but for overall film I went with Goodfellas.

I have to go with Gangs of New York since thats the only one I have seen. I've only seen pieces of Casino but not enough to know if I like it or not.

Without a doubt Taxi Driver IMO.

Followed by Raging Bull, then Goodfellas.

I've seen all but a few of his but for me its a toss-up between Gangs of New York and Color of Money.

I just spewed pepsi all over my monitor, thanks a lot. Get your ass to a video store and rent Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Mean Streets and The Last Temptation of Christ

italianamerican is an odd choice for the poll. I would have gone with The Last Waltz for that slot.
