The Iconic Gangster Crime Thriller With A Guinness World Record

The Departed only further proved Martin Scorsese to be the new king of gangster flicks, a title that Francis Ford Coppola, the man behind The Godfather series, previously held.

Of course, this wasn’t Scorsese’s first rodeo having previously drawn in audiences with other similar tales told in titles like Gangs of New York and Goodfellas.

Aside from these gritty crime thrillers, the director is known for his breakout film, Taxi Driver, and others such as Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, Casino, The Aviator, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
