He’s everyone’s favorite film man on the internet – and that’s without reactions to his latest movie Killers of the Flower Moon. In a new TikTok clip, Martin Scorsese’s film rankings have shocked some fans.

Thanks to his daughter Francesca, Martin Scorsese has become something of an unexpected TikTok influencer in recent weeks.

So far, the Killers of the Flower Moon director has guessed modern slang and accidentally become embroiled in an MCU battle by talking to a dog.

This time around, Scorsese is ranking films – and some of his choices have taken fans by surprise.

Presented with choices such as Dancer In the Dark or Twilight and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or Birdman, Scorsese whittled down cinematic options until only one winner was left standing – Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.

“Birdman over The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Sorry, but Martin Scorsese has been fired without severance from his role as Grandfather of Cinema,” one fan posted on X/Twitter in response to the clip.

“If Martin Scorsese says Birdman is a good film, then Academy Award winner Birdman is a good film,” another added.

“@ Martin Scorsese re your choice in Birdman over The Good Bad and the Ugly: You did a film bro. You made a bad choice. You did a Letterboxd child mentality. You did lack respect for the history of cinema. You did no growth,” a third user commented.

However, it wasn’t all criticism from fans watching the new Martin Scorsese TikTok.

“The longest pause he takes in deciding which of the films is better in the TikTok video being between these two masterpieces… exactly,” one user said in reference to Scorsese’s choice between Dancer In the Dark and Twilight.

“He’s really adorable and his content is so wholesome,” a second said. “Joe Russo’s inevitable reply: I have an expensive car,” another summed up in reference to Scorsese’s previous Marvel argument.
