Watched them both on the same night. Both excellent, but i'm giving the nod to The Departed. Gravity is probably the film i'd watch again in the nearest future, but above anything else, the writing stood out as a little too corny and contrived. The Departed was the first Scorcese film i saw that really showed me what the man is capable of, and it delivered in spades.

Nah, gravity is not getting past departed

Gravity is in my top 5 of 2013 but it can not beat my number 1 favorite Scorsese film

Departed

The Departed wins. It has a much better narrative.

Gravity for me, but it's close. People complain about Gravity's thin plot, but that movie is more like visual poetry, whereas The Departed's denser narrative might be more analogous to a great novel. In this instance, I'll take the poetry. Departed is the only Scorsese kovie I've seen so far that I legitimately love though.
