Since Christopher Nolan is already washed, does this make Martin Scorsese the definite longevity GOAT?
Christopher Nolan's first banger of a film was Memento(2000) and his most recent one being Oppenheimer(2023). So that's 23 years of sustained longevity there.
Martin Scorsese's first banger of a film was Mean Streets(1973), leading up to Wolf of Wall Street(2013). I don't classify 'Irishmen' to be a banger(except for Pacino's scenes). So that's a whopping 40 years of sustained longevity there.
My definition of 'banger film' is a film which makes you leave the theatre feeling enthralled or captivated. Both Memento and Oppenheimer evoked that feeling in me. Departed and Shutter Island similarly(Wasn't alive to experience Scorsese's 70s,80s and 90s his filmography on the big screen.Watched them on TV but still left sitting spellbound after finishing it).Financial success is not an accurate metric to deterimine the quality of a film(like Avatar)
I'm cognisant of the fact that this is subjective from person to person but I'm just speaking on behalf of how most people perceived these films to be. For instance,I think Interstellar is overrated(especially the latter half of the film) but many consider it to be banger
