    If anyone's interested in lists like these, you can take a look at Sight & Sound's Greatest Films of All Time list, which is compiled every decade. It's voted by many film critics as well as filmmakers, including Scorsese himself. They compile another list based on filmmakers' votes for the general list and you can find that here.

    I remember one time they had this list and they included Pieces of a Woman (2020) which Scorsese is an executive producer on. I’m reminded of that because they put Pearl and Maxxxine on here...
