          Right now it's Minnie and Moskowitz. You can't beat the scene when Zelmo freaks out on his blind date with Rowlands.

            I personally find it hard to subjectively "categorize" many of Cassavetes' films as being better/worse than the others, but I'll try (note: I haven't seen Husbands or Too Late Blues yet).
            Greatest works:
            Faces
            The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (the 1976 versionpersonally, if it weren't for Faces, this would probably be his greatest film)
            Love Streams
            A Woman Under The Influence
            Just a shade below:
            Opening Night
            Minnie & Moskowitz (the scene with Zelmo is priceless)
            Still pretty incredible, though not as essential:
            Shadows
            A Child Is Waiting
            Blah:
            Gloria
