I probably don't have to tell you, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese are two of the most influential movie directors of all time, and they've been directing their masterpieces since the 1950's and 1970's respectively.
The following is a very nicely designed montage paying tribute to these giants of film.
And if nothing else, a little kick-ass Irish music is always a great way to start the weekend. Cheers!
I doubt anyone can understand how awesome it is to watch DiCaprio get shot in the head :)
