To establish the rapid pacing of Goodfellas, Scorsese opens the movie in media res with Henry, Tommy, and Jimmy driving to the outskirts of New York to bury Billy Batts’ corpse. This sequence culminates in one of the greatest opening credits transitions of all time. Henry tells the audience, “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a g...
Dropkick Murphys’ “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” acts as a sort of theme song for The Departed. It sets the Celtic punk rock tone for the movie and the song is repeated a bunch of times throughout the soundtrack. Scorsese’s gangster movies usually focus on the Sicilian Mafia in New York City, but this song signified The Departed’s shift to the Irish M...
The Lemonheads’ rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson” kicks in at the climax of The Wolf of Wall Street when FBI agents ransack the offices of Stratton Oakmont and Jordan Belfort’s empire comes crumbling downin spectacular fashion. This isn’t the first time that Scorsese has used a punk rock cover of a ‘60s classic to represent the hamme...

The Ronettes’ “Be My Baby” fits perfectly. RELATED: How Mean Streets Established Scorsese's Style This Ronettes classic was later used to great effect in Dirty Dancing, but Mean Streets’ us...
In stark contrast to the blood-soaked murder at the beginning of Goodfellas, the more reflective The Irishmanopens with former mob hitman Frank Sheeran alone and miserable in a nursing home. This tracking shot is underscored by the Five Satins’ “In the Still of the Night,” whose somber rhythm sets the somber rhythm for the rest of the movie.
After Goodfellas’ Jimmy Conway decides to have everybody involved in the Lufthansa heist killed so he can keep all the money for himself, his greed becomes his downfall. The “piano exit” of Derek and the Dominos’ “Layla” plays over a montage of the bodies being discovered. The second half of the song isn’t as memorable as the first, but the lighter...
Since it arrived just five years later and shared many of its predecessor’s stylistic hallmarks (and actors), critics instantly compared Casino to Goodfellas. But Casino is an underrated gem hidden away in Goodfellas’ shadow. It has plenty of memorable moments of its own, like a montage of mob hits with voiceover narration by Joe Pesci, set to the ...
Jack Nicholson’s eccentric villain in The Departed, Frank Costello, was heavily inspired by real-life gangster Whitey Bulger, who similarly acted as an FBI informant while ruling the criminal underworld of Massachusetts.

The central dynamic that drives Scorsese’s breakout movie Mean Streetsis Harvey Keitel’s Charlie constantly cleaning up the messes created by the reckless behavior of his friend Johnny Boy, played by Robert De Niro. This dynamic is established beautifully when Johnny Boy walks into the bar with two women and Charlie watches dubiously from the bar, ...
When Morrie nags Jimmy for his share of the loot one too many times, Jimmy decides to have him whacked, allowing him to just take his share of the money. Then, he realizes he could kill everybody involved in the heist except for Henry and Tommy. This is all conveyed in a single look as Jimmy smokes a cigarette at the bar, the camera slowly pulls in...
