The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

The Wolf of Wall Street is so addicting to watch, that even with it's 3 hour long run time, you wont be surprised if you end up watching it four days in a row. <br> This is Scorsese letting loose and having fun, showing all of the debauchery (and man, is there a lot) in all of it's glory.

When I'm Scorsese's age I just hope to still be able to chew my food and go to the bathroom unassisted. That he can still make some of the most cutting edge, visceral, and enjoyable films out there is stunning. Is this his best film? No. But, even a mediocre film for him is better than 99% of the movies being made.
