311. The Departed (2006)
-This is unbelievable. Who put the *$in' cameras in this place?
-Who the %*$&are you?
-I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.
Martin Scorsese directs a film about the cops vs. the mob in Boston. This movie probably has the single greatest male cast of any film this side of "JFK". Leonardo Dicaprio, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, and you might as well throw in Jack Nicholson in what could be remembered as one of his last truly great performances. The screenplay is super tight and the twists and turns ensure that this movie will be remembered as one of Scorsese's best and not just the one that finally got him his Oscar.
