If there are two people whose opinions you should probably take into consideration when it comes to matters of cinema, surely it is Martin Scorsese<\/a> and Steven Spielberg.\u00a0<\/p>\n Establishing themselves as two of the greats, the contemporaries have built careers to envy. No, more than envy, they\u2019ve built careers to study and aspire to. <\/p>\n Commonly, accolades like being deemed one of the world\u2019s most influential directors come in retrospect. But for both Scorsese and Spielberg, that moment undeniably arrived when they were both still relatively young.\u00a0<\/p>\n By the time Scorsese was making movies as bold as Taxi Driver at 39<\/a>, or Spielberg was unleashing Jaws when he was only 27, their power was already too strong and too obvious to deny that these two not only would be two of the greats, but already were. <\/p>\n So when it comes to their views on the best movies ever made, the opinion can be trusted. Sure, these things are subjective to a degree, but through the eyes of experts, they spot things that the average audience doesn\u2019t. They also have access to a peer pool of the biggest names in the industry, meaning that they can be a pretty trustworthy source of whether a certain film has had a broad impact or is held close by a mass of famous names.<\/p>\n The fact that Spielberg and Scorsese alone share the same favourite movie is a sign that it\u2019s an important one. If it influences two names as big as that, then it must have some magic to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
