Own: 2 ( I used to own Raging Bull and sold it in anticipation of the SE which I haven't gotten around to buying. Also will buy Goodfellas, Last Temptation and Casino one of these days and if I saw it really cheap I'd buy My Voyage to Italy. I also own his excellent "A Personal Journey Through American Film with Martin Scorsese" but I guess he isn't the credited director for that.)

Still some holes to fill in, I'd most like to see King of Comedy, Alice, and After Hours.

Casino (1995)
Raging Bull (1980)
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
