My personal favorite film of ALL TIME !

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2009)

I am a certified movie nut, or I wouldn't be here, I must tell you that of the thousands of films I've enjoyed over the past 40-some years, Taxi Driver is hands-down my all time favorite! Never has a film had such a life-long effect on me. This film is so powerful, the director is, in my opinion, a living legend in the industry. The cinematography is unparralled, and it goes without saying that it's Robert Deniro's finest work! Travis Bickle feels like a brother to me, not some character in a movie. (relax, I don't own any firearms)
Clearly this is a very dark film with deep, disturbing subject matter. It takes you on a barefoot dance along a razor's edge, right along the sharp edge of madness. As someone else said on here, it is perhaps the only film that can take a sane person on a tour of an insane man's brain. If you've never seen this masterpiece of film, come take the tour of Travis Bickle's decaying mind, but bring a flashlight....it's a dark, dark place.
Go to the video store, RENT IT, but hurry....the meter is running.
