Even though Martin Scorsese only directed five films throughout the 1980s, they displayed some of the filmmaker’s strongest acting performances.

One of the things legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese is best known for is his ability to draw out brilliant performances from some of the industry’s top actors. Having started his professional career in 1967 with the independent film, Who’s That Knocking at My Door, Scorsese boasts a career that has lasted for over five decades. With this year’s Killers of the Flower Moon set for an October 20 release and the reunion of Scorsese, Robert De Niro, and Leonardo DiCaprio, the beloved filmmaker doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.
