Get ready for some serious cinematic intensity!
1. The Irishman: Scorsese’s Other Epic True Crime Saga
Look, if you loved Scorsese’s *KOTFM*, this is your next stop, period. It’s another *epic* runtime (3.5 hours, get ready!), De Niro, Pacino, and Joe Pesci doing their mob thing, and it’s all about regret and the weight of a lifetime of bad choices. The de-aging tech was… a choice, but the story? Ugh, so good. It’s a somber reflection on a life of crime, and you’ll be thinking about it for days. Streaming on Netflix as of April 2026!

OMG, Daniel Day-Lewis in this movie? Literally *insane*. If you were gripped by the greed and exploitation in *KOTFM*, then Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterpiece about oil, ambition, and religious fanaticism is going to blow your mind. It’s bleak, it’s intense, and the performances are just… everything. ‘I drink your milkshake!’ will live rent-free in your head forever. You can find it on Paramount+ or rent/buy it digitally.
3. Zodiac: The Obsessive Hunt for a Killer
Okay, so *KOTFM* was all about the meticulous uncovering of a horrifying true crime, right? *Zodiac* takes that same energy and applies it to one of America’s most infamous unsolved mysteries. David Fincher’s direction is *chef’s kiss*, and Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr. are totally consumed by the case. It’s a slow burn, but you’ll be Googling theories for hours after this one, no cap. Stream it on Hulu!
4. Gangs of New York: An Earlier Scorsese Historical Epic
Another Scorsese historical epic, but this time we’re in 1860s Five Points, NYC. Daniel Day-Lewis (again!) as Bill the Butcher? Honestly iconic. It’s brutal, it’s about power struggles, immigration, and the birth of a nation’s darker side. The scale is huge, and the violence is… a lot, but it’s so compelling. Leo’s in it too, reuniting with Scorsese before *KOTFM*! It’s currently available on HBO Max.
5. No Country for Old Men: Bleak, Brutal, and Brilliant
If the moral ambiguity and relentless, systemic evil of *KOTFM* resonated with you, then the Coen Brothers’ *No Country for Old Men* is a must-see. It’s a neo-western crime thriller that’s just… bleak. Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh is one of the most terrifying villains ever, no cap. It’s a masterpiece that will leave you absolutely speechless. You can stream it on Paramount+.
6. Casino: The Ultimate Rise and Fall of Vegas Glamour and Greed
This is classic Scorsese, baby! De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci reunite for another true crime saga about the mob’s control over Las Vegas. It’s all about the glitz, the glamour, the betrayal, and the inevitable downfall that comes with unchecked greed. The costumes? The soundtrack? *Chef’s kiss*. If you loved the epic scope and tragic characters of *KOTFM*, this is a total mood. Catch it on Peacock!
7. The Revenant: Survival, Revenge, and Historical Brutality
If the sheer scale and raw, brutal historical realism of *KOTFM* grabbed you, then *The Revenant* is your vibe. Leo DiCaprio *literally* suffered for his art in this one (he won an Oscar for it, finally!). It’s a harrowing tale of survival and revenge in the 1820s American wilderness. The cinematography is breathtaking, and the intensity is off the charts. Find it on Disney+ and Hulu.
8. Wind River: A Modern Mystery with Indigenous Focus
While not a historical epic, *Wind River* shares *KOTFM*’s focus on indigenous communities and systemic injustice. It’s a gripping, snow-swept mystery starring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen investigating a murder on a Native American reservation. The film tackles difficult themes with raw honesty and a powerful emotional punch. It’s on Paramount+ and MGM+ if you’re looking for something more contemporary but equally impactful.
9. Goodfellas: The OG Mob Epic
Okay, I know you know *Goodfellas*. But if you loved the intricate web of crime, loyalty, and betrayal in *KOTFM*, and Scorsese’s signature style, you NEED to revisit this absolute classic. It’s got that fast-paced, stylish energy that’s different from *KOTFM*’s slow burn, but the themes of ambition, power, and the ultimate price are totally there. Plus, it’s just so quotable! Available on HBO Max.
10. Amistad: A Powerful Tale of Historical Injustice
If the systemic injustice and fight for recognition in *KOTFM* moved you, then Steven Spielberg’s *Amistad* is a must-watch. It’s based on the true story of a slave revolt on a ship in 1839 and the subsequent legal battle for their freedom. It’s a powerful, emotional, and often devastating historical drama with incredible performances. Seriously, prepare for some tears. You can stream it on Paramount+.
11. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: A Slow Burn Western
This one is pure vibes if you loved the psychological depth and slow, deliberate pacing of *KOTFM*. It’s a gorgeous, melancholic Western starring Brad Pitt as Jesse James and Casey Affleck as the titular Robert Ford. It’s less about action and more about the corrosive effects of fame, obsession, and betrayal. Seriously, it’s a stunning piece of filmmaking that deserves more love. Rent or buy it digitally!
12. Once Upon a Time in America: A Sweeping Crime Saga
If you’re down for another *seriously* long, epic crime drama that spans decades and dives deep into complex characters, then Sergio Leone’s *Once Upon a Time in America* is your next obsession. It’s a sprawling, melancholic tale of Jewish gangsters in New York City, starring Robert De Niro. It’s got that same reflective, tragic quality as *KOTFM*, just with a different flavor of crime.
