The nineties were experimental for Martin Scorsese. From gangster flicks to medical dramas, these are the best performances from his 1990s movies.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Martin Scorsese's catalog of films from the nineties not only includes some of his most recognized works but also boasts some of the best acting performances under the filmmaker's direction. Having made at least three movies per decade since the 1970s that can be considered classics, Scorsese's vision and mastery of his craft are second nearly to none.
9 Michelle Pfeiffer in The Age of Innocence Scorsese's 1993 romantic drama The Age of Innocence is one of the director's unique films in that it is ostensibly a love story almost completely devoid of the tropes typically associated with his works. Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, The Age of Innocence sets itself apart from the original work by boasting breathtaking set pieces, a beautiful score, and memorable acting performances all across the board.
Among some of the strongest work in the early '90s thriller, Juliette Lewis plays Danielle Bowden, the impressionable teenage daughter of Sam, in a role that helped launch her career. Although Lewis's work in other films like From Dusk till Dawn and Natural Born Killers is perhaps her most famous, she does an amazing job taking a one-dimensional character and making her feel unique. Lewis cements herself as a great actress with her performance in Cape Fear.
6 Patricia Arquette in Bringing Out the Dead The psychological thriller Bringing Out the Dead further proves that Scorsese is more than capable of telling engaging stories outside his criminal drama wheelhouse. The film is thought-provoking and showcases a side of Scorsese that audiences have only recently gotten more accustomed to. With the likes of Nic Cage and John Goodman in a movie, it's hard to imagine anyone can outshine them but lo and behold, here comes Patricia Arquette.
4 Sharon Stone in Casino One of the underrated aspects of Scorsese's career is the sheer number of nuanced performances he can elicit from an actress. Whereas most actresses are often handed material that amounts to nothing more than eye candy, Scorsese ensures that his actresses portray a broad range of women. Whether of the criminal element or otherwise innocent, audiences can count on the director to give any actress he casts a meaningful role.
The part Irish part Italian mobster immediately catches the audience's attention as he's seen grooming young Italian-American men into the mob early into the film. Moreover, unlike most of his peers and friends, he's quiet and cunning, and there's always a hint that he's got something bigger planned behind the eyes.
