Scorsese’s List of 85 Films You Must See
In a recent interview with Rick Tetzeli Scorsese has revealed his list of 85 films that you must see if you’re a film-buff, filmmaker, aspiring film-maker, screenwriter and so on. It’s a wonderful list and gosh darn it, I think I’m going to be spending a bit of money increasing my collection of films. What strikes me about the list is the sheer range and breadth of it.
