The 48 Best British Movies Ever Made - According to Martin Scorcese (The Daily Express) - Page 2

When you think of Martin Scorsese, the images that come to mind are likely the burning intensity of Taxi Driver, the operatic brutality of Goodfellas, or the gliding camera work of The Age of Innocence. But beneath all that American flair also lies a surprising and deep-rooted passion for British cinema.Scorsese has never been quiet about the international influences on his work. From the philosophical weight of Japanese masters to the experimental edge of the French New Wave, his cinematic tastes are as diverse as his career is long. But one thread that's been particularly persistent - even starting in his childhood growing up in New York - is a quiet, enduring devotion to films from across the Atlantic.
