Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 1999)

I am a big fan of director Martine Scorsese's, and I have been buying his movies recently. Taxi Driver sounded like a good movie, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I found Mean Streets but it was too expensive. So one day I went to Wal-mart, Taxi Driver was the last thing on my mind, I looked at a shelf, and there it was, The Special Edition of Taxi Driver. I grabbed it and slammed my money down on the counter. I am glad I did what I did, I found an excellent movie that I am proud to have in my collection along with the other Scorsese masterpieces. This movie should have won best picture in 1976, it was beaten by Rocky. Rocky is an excellent movie and I have them all, but after seeing Taxi Driver, I knew it should have won. Taxi Driver is also in the AFI's 100 greatest films. It is after A Clockwork Orange, a Stanley Kubrick film, and it is before Jaws, a Steven Spielberg film. If you haven't seen this movie, go out and BUY it. That's right, BUY it, you won't be disappointed. Trust me.
