This gives the film a darkly comic tone not usually found in Scorsese, but the material could hardly be treated any other way. Watch The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies Online

A scene in which Belfort silently pantomimes rough sex with a customer he is duping over the telephone is played for hollow laughs. Watch Furious 7 Online

A sequence where a drug-addled Belfort drags himself, inch by inch, across a car park leads to a magnificent slapstick episode – a demonic Jerry Lewis skit. Watch Fast & Furious 7 Online

But the film’s wild energy belies a carefulness on Scorsese’s part. He is walking a razor-wire tightrope here similar to those he crossed in Goodfellas and Casino. Download Fast And Furious 7 Movie

Treating the audience like adults, trusting that our moral sense will compensate for his characters’ lack of one. Watch Get Hard Online

Scorsese’s last two features, the psychological thriller Shutter Island and the children’s fantasy Hugo, felt like honourable side-projects, but this is a major, late-period work, as morbidly curious about the American condition as his very best. Watch Home 2015 Online

Money in that country is both a drug and a sacrament, and Belfort, the very avatar of material success, is by turns addict and preacher. Watch Insurgent Online

“This is Ellis Island, people,” he rages, forehead shining, as he urges his faithful employees to stay strong in the face of the FBI investigation. Watch Cinderella Online

“I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, whether your relatives came over on the Mayflower or an inner-tube from Haiti. Watch Run All Night Online

This, right here, is the land of opportunity.” Then comes the moral, as clean as it is terrifying: “Stratton Oakmont is America”. Watch The Gunman Online

If you can imagine the honey-gravel of Ray Liotta's voice in Goodfellas saying: "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a stockbroker" you'll get some idea of Martin Scorsese's new movie Movie. Watch Kingsman The Secret Service Online

It's a raucous, crazily energised, if occasionally slightly shallow epic on a familiar subject, conducted in the classic voiceover-nostalgia style with sugar-rush jukebox slams on the soundtrack. Watch Do You Believe Online

I've watched it twice in quick succession now, and though it skirts the edge of cliche, the sheer sustained blitz of bad taste is spectacular. Watch The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Online

This movie sprints frantically, in the direction of nowhere in particular, like our appalling hero after his first ecstatic toke of crack cocaine. Watch Focus Online

It is based on the memoirs of crooked broker Jordan Belfort who during the 1980s and 90s enjoyed unlimited amounts of sports cars, drugs and prostitutes, paid for by millions of dupes and dopes buying his fraudulently inflated stocks. Watch Chappie Online

Finally, like Henry Hill before him, Belfort has to swallow hard and confront the possibility of betraying his partners to minimise the inevitable jail term. Watch The SpongeBob Movie Sponge Out of Water Online

Leonardo DiCaprio – credited as producer, alongside Scorsese – plays Belfort and his character gets to the end of this long movie having learned nothing, conceded nothing and even physically changed in no obvious way. Watch Fifty Shades of Grey Online

The vulpine salesman's broad smile is still more or less in place. The comparison with Hill is actually inexact: what Jordan wants to be specifically is rich, and shifting stocks on Wall Street is the way to do it. Watch Jupiter Ascending Online

While Hill luxuriated in the minutiae and details of gangsterdom, and Sam Rothstein gave some feel for what the gambling world was about in Scorsese's Casino (1995), Belfort will often stop in the middle of explaining a financial scam. Watch The DUFF Online

And say that we don't want to hear about anything as boringly technical as this – surely what we want is the naked girls and the wild times, and that's what we get. Watch Unfinished Business Online

Belfort’s cronies, meanwhile, make for as vivid a chorus as either of those earlier films boasted. There is Jonah Hill as a faithful acolyte, Rob Reiner as Belfort’s permanently furious father. Watch The Lazarus Effect Online

Joanna Lumley as a cut-glass money-launderer, Jean Dujardin, from The Artist, as a Swiss banker so reptilian you half-expect him to pop out a foot-long tongue in between lines and casually lick an eyeball. Watch Paddington Online

It's entertainingly outrageous, and there's a shaggy-dog comic effect in seeing the same nightmare debauch over and over, although I don't think the coke'n'strippers war stories exactly constitute that critique of capitalism that some pundits have claimed for this film.
