The Films of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro

In 1973, early in their careers, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro collaborated for the first time. Over the next few decades, they worked together on seven more movies, many of which brought them both acclaim and awards. Although successful director and actor pairings have occurred throughout the history of film, few have fashioned so many works of enduring value as these two artists. In little more than two decades, Scorsese and De Niro produced eight features, including the classics Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and GoodFellas.

Andrew J. Rausch is the author or coauthor of several books and popular culture, including Turning Points in Film History (2004) Making Movies with Orson Welles (Scarecrow, 2008), and Reflection on Blaxploitation (Scarecrow, 2009).
