Correct, he didn't do the Godfather. He is most famous for Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas (and his association with De Niro).

Early on, he directed as much crap as he did good stuff. Lest we forget Boxcar Bertha and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Or Last Temptation of Christ. Or Kundun.

Some other films which made him immensely popular were The Last Waltz (the Band), Cape Fear (De Niro again), Casino, and Age of Innocence.

I've always felt he was an overrated director. He is good, but he ain't god.
