5 Martin Scorsese Movies Besides Goodfellas to Re-Imagine for Television

·Mean Streets

Similar to Goodfellas, the Mean Streets series would be a prequel. But it will go way back to examine the grade school and junior high years of Charlie and Johnny Boy. In other words, The Wonder Years with John Cassavetes-style improvisation, more dangerous mischief and a sense of Catholic guilt lurking beneath the surface.

·The Departed

Just give lone survivor Mark Wahlberg his own tough-talking-cop-with-a-heart of gold TV show. And make sure it's on HBO or some other channel where swear words are allowed.

· No Direction Home

Bob Dylan has reinvented himself and gone through so many ups and downs and tangents that a weekly documentary series examining more phases of his life and career would be totally feasible. And judging from the interview footage in No Direction Home, the reclusive legend is actually comfortable talking to Scorsese. A few of the other picks here may have been tongue-in-cheek, but come on Marty! If you have the access, this would be awesome.
