    Anyone who's watched a handful of Martin Scorsese movies (particularly his crime ones) will probably know already that the filmmaker's a pretty big fan of The Rolling Stones. They make plenty of appearances in various Scorsese movie soundtracks, and as such, it's not too surprising to learn that he once made a documentary/concert film centered on t...

    Just as The Rolling Stones' music shows up in many Martin Scorsese films, so too do Scorsese's parents, Catherine and Charles Scorsese, usually in cameo roles. In the case of Catherine Scorsese, she's probably best known for playing the mother of Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas, Tommy, while in the same film, Charles Scorsese plays one of the m...

    Some years after Italianamerican, Martin Scorsese applied a similar approach to covering the life of Steven Prince, an associate of Scorsese's, in the 55-minute-long American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince. Prince himself might be recognizable for some of the brief roles he had in a handful of Scorsese movies made in the 1970s, most notably Taxi D...

    Before the James Mangold-directed (and Timothée Chalamet-starring) Bob Dylan biopic comes out, why not catch up on the history of one of rock music's most popular enigmas with No Direction Home: Bob Dylan? This is the first of two Dylan documentaries made by Martin Scorsese, with this one focusing on the musician's early life and rise to fame durin...

    Martin Scorsese's longest films are both about cinema history, as well as the films that inspired him as a director. The first of these is 1995's A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, with it only eclipsed in runtime by the second documentary he made about cinema (more on that one later). As the title suggests, this looks...

    A naturally funny documentary because of its subject - author and frequently sarcastic social commentator Fran Lebowitz - Pretend It's a City is a six-part miniseries released on Netflix in 2021. As a result, it can be easily watched in chunks, but even if watched in one go, it's still not as long as Scorsese's longest documentaries (and only four ...

    Another epic-length documentary about a musician (this one's also about 3.5 hours long), George Harrison: Living in the Material World is a comprehensive and perhaps even exhaustive look at the man who was known as the quiet Beatle. By no means could he be called the "boring Beatle," however, as this documentary about his eventful life demonstrates...

    The second of Martin Scorsese's documentaries about Bob Dylan, Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese is about an hour shorter than No Direction Homeand has an even narrower scope. The film is primarily concerned with 1975, and documents the unique concerts Dylan played throughout that year. That's the simplest way to describe ...

    The Last Waltz is probably the director's most famous documentary, but it still feels a little underrated within Scorsese's filmography. As far as concert movies go, few can claim to be better than this, with The Last Waltz expertly capturing the bittersweet farewell tour of folk-rock band The Band, alongside interviews with various band members ba...

    The second mammoth-length Martin Scorsese documentary about cinema, My Voyage to Italy runs for just over four hours and centers on the Italian film industry and its history. It ends up being just as riveting as Scorsese's 1995 documentary on American cinema, with the director clearly having a great deal of respect for Italian filmmaking legends li...
