Absolutely Tom, The nearest I got to meeting Scorsese was when I attended a red carpet world premiere of Casino in London. I used to work at a local cinema and a select few were invited. All very posh with dickie bows and evening wear. Eric Clapton brushed shoulders past me, felt way out of my depth lol
I have had very good email conversations with Scorsese's archivist and secretary since then whilst trying to get some information on a Stausfeld Mean Streets Quad. i.e, Does he have one... And also whilst trying to get him to endorse The Movie Poster Forum, He did pass on a personal message which was very nice "Wishing you the best of luck with The Movie Poster Forum and in encouraging others to appreciate the magical art of film posters" - I'll keep persevering with the endorsement but am not holding my breath, I think he is inundated with those kind of things and ideas. I did email them this afternoon to suggest the "A Century of Movie Posters" Documentary/film idea, fingers crossed, better to have loved and lost than never to have loved before.

I'm looking forward to Sinatra, now that should be good!

I'm still waiting in anticipation for his documentary on British film that he's been working on with Ms Schoonmaker for xx years now. With that, directing major new feature films, and restoring old ones, he's certainly not a man who likes to sit still.

I might suggest it to his secretary and archivist if you don't mind me stealing your suggestion?
