ADLHA has Keitel, who has worked with Scorsese a ton, as well as Jodie Foster.
LToC is about Catholicism, so that's a pretty big Italian connection there.
Age of Innocence is set in New York and has Daniel Day Lewis (who has NEVER worked with the same director more than once, outside of Jim Sheridan).
After Hours takes place in New York.
Color of Money is full of Italian-American actors/actresses.
Bringing Out the Dead takes place in New York, is full of Italian-American actors/actresses and stars Nick Cage, who is an incredibly-prominent Italian in American cinema.
Kundun is absolutely one that is completely non-formulaic/not-rehashed of themes/people of his works and is very-similar to Silence in that regard.
An American film he did that is completely unlike the others, would be Boxcar Bertha, one of his earliest and completely different in terms of themes and talent used. Not a very well-received film though lol
And just looking at his, "Trademarks," on IMDB, he has 26: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000217/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
For comparison's sake:
Coppola has 7 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000338/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
Spielberg has 21 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
Lean has 13 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000180/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
Fellini has 4 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000019/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
Hitchcock has 20 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000033/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
Stone has 20 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000231/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark
I mean, I can go on, but I think my drift has been noted at this point lol.
Only Tarantino has more, at *52* (which is insane lol) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_tm_sm#trademark, but you will never see me not call him formulaic lol.
I know that's a SUPER-VAGUE way at looking at it (especially since the entries are fan-written), but one cannot deny that even if he is more-versatile than given credit, he sticks to the same themes, settings, actors, more-often than not.
Anyways, think we've discussed Marty enough!
Do you despise Jimi Hendrix because he played with the same guys a lot and every single one of his songs is either rock or blues?
