Here Are the SIXTY Songs Martin Scorsese Uses for The Wolf of Wall Street

If you’re a fan of Scorsese movies like I am, you’ll know the guy puts a lot of effort into finding just the right music for the soundtrack.  Just think back to what we hear in movies like Good Fellas or Casino and you’ll know what I mean.  (Even before he shot that Rolling Stones documentary, you could tell that he was a big fan of the band.)

His latest, The Wolf of Wall Street, features no fewer than sixty songs during its three-hour running time, something that must have been a licensing nightmare.  The Hollywood Reporter goes through some of the playlist here, complete with some good analysis.
