10 Most Quotable Martin Scorsese Movie Characters, Ranked

Martin Scorsese isn’t always credited with writing/co-writing the films he directs, but he has had that role for a number of them, and frequently collaborates with other skilled screenwriters . As such, it’s unsurprising that the level of writing throughout most of his filmography is strong, and with good writing comes naturally memorable and quotable dialogue.

9 Bill the Butcher 'Gangs of New York' Gangs of New York is a sprawling, epic gangster movie, and though there’s a lot to appreciate from a technical perspective, one character pretty much ends up stealing the show: Bill the Butcher. He’s a grandiose, charismatic, and sometimes over-the-top villain, with Daniel Day-Lewis chewing much scenery while playing him, but devouring it all so efficiently that it ends up being absorbing to witness.

7 Travis Bickle 'Taxi Driver' While Taxi Driver didn’t mark the first time Martin Scorsese collaborated with Robert De Niro, it was the first occasion where De Niro played the central character in a Scorsese film, given 1973’s Mean Streets had a handful of main characters, with Harvey Keitel’s being the protagonist. De Niro was more than up for the task, helping to make Travis Bickle one of the most troubling, memorable, and uneasily compelling protagonists in cinema history.

5 Jesus 'The Last Temptation of Christ' It feels a bit weird to call Jesus Christ a “character,” let alone a “quotable character,” but he is the protagonist of The Last Temptation of Christ, and few figures have proven as frequently quotable throughout human history. Sure, The Last Temptation of Christ isn’t an adaptation of anything from the Bible directly , but there is cross-over in terms of what happens and what’s said.
