Before Martin Scorsese was in an interesting and inconspicuous box-office derby with director John McTiernan during the late summer/early fall of 1988, he began his career as a film director during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. His first theatrical film was released in 1967. His second theatrical film was released in 1972.
PAPER, ROCK, & SCISSORS….SPIELBERG, SCORSESE, & ED WOOD
Spielberg EASILY trumps Scorsese as the greatest filmmaker ever with the most relevant movie industry numbers. Movie numbers like:
- Total # of tickets sold
- Total # of tickets sold after opening weekend
- Box-office grosses
- Box-office profits
- Total # of DGA wins (before 2025)
- Total # of DGA nominations (before 2025)
- Total # of films listed in the AFI’s top 100 films (1998)
- Total # of films listed in the AFI’s top 100 films (2007)
But many on the left want you to believe that Martin Scorsese is the greatest filmmaker ever, which makes him better than Ed Wood, who is widely-regarded as the worst filmmaker ever.
Ed Wood, however, trumps Steven Spielberg because Ed Wood never destroyed many of the greatest films ever, something Spielberg has done since July of 2000. Ed Wood never destroyed Jaws, E.T., and Duel the way Spielberg has over the last 25 years.
