Man...very tough...

Arg. Too tough

nolan beats scorsese here.

Both are landmarks... I don't think I'll get the answer right.

this is a very tough choice for me, it's Memento by a hair.

Scorsese and De Niro are hard to beat in their finest hour.

Raging Bull, not hard at all for me.

Agreed. Pretty easy win for Scorsese here.

To equivocate - Memento is better edited (sorry Thelma!) but Raging Bull is better written, shot, performed, and directed. While the performances of Memento are astonishing and powerful, they are not their stars' best work (likely due to the accent-softening). DeNiro, Pesci, F. Vincent and C. Moriarty have never been better than this. La Motta ends it in the 3rd round.

These are both in my top 5, but I gotta give it to Raging Bull, this single greatest acting performance of all time.

Raging Bull, hands down. And I love Memento.

Raging Bull. Great film. Very hard choice though.

Memento pretty easy here.Memento did something entirely new and effectively.As good as Raging Bull is,it's just a story about a highly unlikeable man.Memento on the other hand messes with your brain and has a brilliant narrative.

Memento gets the nod from me. This is actually the first matchup that I didn't have to think about for long. I encourage anyone who hasn't seen it yet to put it on your "to watch immediately" list.

Raging Bull has more clout among movie buffs, but give me Memento for my money.

Scorsese beats Nolan in this matchup.

Hahaha, Raging Bull, you not win not good. Ha.

I'd pick Memento any day in this matchup.

This is easy because I don't even like Raging Bull.
