10. Beautifully wistful and evocative in a way few directors can achieve, and he coaxed career-peak performances from De Niro (yes, this is Bobby D's best performance) and Walken. I used to think the first act was a drag but recent rewatches have kiboshed that feeling; I could get lost in this movie's vibe for days.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.
