The Best Film EVER!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 1999)

This is my favourite film!! De Niro's performance is his best ever and Bernard Herrmann's theme beats Psycho and Citizen Kane's score. Marty Scorsese's direction is up with the level of Hitchcock's and Welles'. Jodie Foster's performance was Oscar worthy and I think it's the best of her career. But how original and amazing is the screenplay. Who would think up a script so disturbing that it comes off as a beautiful relationship between two lonely people (Iris and Travis). Voted 47th best film of all time (by the American Film Institute), Scorsese's other masterpiece, Raging Bull, was voted 24th. Critics have thought that Bull was a re-telling and a better shown version of Taxi Driver and sure the themes are similar, Taxi Driver is a far better movie!!
