Martin Charles Scorsese (1942) is one of the most important figures of the New Hollywood era and has received, among other things, an Academy Award, four BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, and three Golden Globe Awards. Scorsese won the Palme d’Or in Cannes with Taxi Driver (1976). Like the latter, four of his other films were added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant”: Mean Streets (1973), The Last Waltz (1978), Raging Bull (1980), and Goodfellas (1990).
