Inspired a whole generation of Punks.

This was simply a masterclass of a movie. A director and actor on top form and cemented as one of the most iconic (and influential) films in movie history. 'Taxi Driver' was to the 70's, what 'Scarface' was to the 80's, in a sense that it almost defined the whole decade. It's quite difficult writing a review to a picture that has been awarded all the plaudits (by critics world wide). The intensity of the whole piece, just rolls and builds with each manic scene. Bernard Herrmann is worthy of a huge mention. He delivered one of the most apt musical scores and drips seediness throughout. All of the supporting cast are super strong and De Nero gave his finest performance, right at the start of his career. Unfortunately the majority of all his highs came very early on and he never bettered this. Classic!
