French Cancan is one of the best Technicolor renderings on the blu ray format, and the BFI disc is honestly worth it just for that. Provided you're region-B (or free), of course.
One of my favorite Scorsese films. The camerawork is full of vitality, its genuinely funny, and it's a great late-night-in-NYC venture. And it's one of many, many films that Scorsese has done that dispel the 'gangster/crime director' reputation that he seems to have amongst so many.

True that Scorsese is all over the CC with intros and articles and stuff but we only have one movie of his in the collection we should have more damn greedy studios!
After Hours is awesome! Also think King of Comedy is a lesser talked about one that's great! How about Bringing out the dead or shutter island anyone like those?
