Excellent film. A masterpiece by Scorsese. One of the best performances by De Niro, Travis Birkle rules. The script by paul srhader is great. The music by Bernad Herrman, incredible. The atmosphere , dark and crazy, and the story, depressing and hard to see.

One of the best films in the 70s.

Definitely an all time career high for actor and director. One of the few movies I have ever seen that I cannot fault. Everything in this film is done for a reason, from the smallest character quirks De Niro applies to Travis, to Scorsese's seemingly arbitratry shots of odd street performers or passing Black Panther-esque hoods. I don't I've ever seen a horror movie that has disturbed me as intensely as Taxi Driver (that scene with the television set in his apartment, chills me to the core everytime), and no drama has sucked me into a character as utterly as I was with Travis Bickle.

Honestly, I can't praise it highly enough. It's between this, Dog Day Afternoon, Seven Samurai, Rashomon, A Clockwork Orange and The Godfather Pt. 1 as my favorite all time movie, and you know what, I think I'd count it as #1 even amongst those.

Also, I searched for a thread on the film; didn't find one.

Watched this movie for the first time the other day (as well as Raging Bull).

I thought it was great.

What do you guys think?

I have the movie on DVD and I don't like it. I think it is overrated, and not as good as it is made out to be. I was a little disapointed because I did find the film boring.

She thought it was the normal Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St., Re-Animator, Hellraiser type movie.

A good parent would have taken a bit more time to actually learn what the movie was about before renting it for their pre-teen child.

f

haha, thats funny.

Did that experience break you?
