The only truly different answer here is After Hours. It is a marvellously clever piece of work.
Still, it is not Scorsese's best. I would have to go with the marvellous atmospherics of Taxi Driver or the mobster realism of Goodfellas (far better than the Coppola films).
None of Scorsese is to everyone's taste, but my favorite is Raging Bull, and not just because of De Niro's all-out performance, but more because its period atmosphere was perfect and because I have never seen another picture where the principal character displayed his flaws so openly.

I'm not into gangster movies, or period pieces, but I loved "After Hours". It was ORIGINAL, something most films (including The Departed) are not. Have you ever had a REALLY bad night, where every decision you made was wrong? Is so, you will love this movie.

Taxi Driver
"All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people."
"I first saw her at Palantine Campaign headquarters at 63rd and Broadway. She was wearing a white dress. She appeared like an angel. Out of this filthy mess, she is alone. They... cannot... touch... her."
"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."
SO GOOD!!!

Without question: CASINO! This is my all time favorite, although there are others in line with just as much clout including: "The Color of Money", "Cape Fear", and "Good Fellas" It's about time they recognized this man for his works of art!!! Long overdue.
