A visually stunning story about a descent into madness in the big city. 'Taxi Driver' is from when movies dared to linger. Add Bernard Herrmann's incredible score, both mysterious, magical and even romantic, to the mix, and you have one seriously hypnotic experience of a psychotic violent fantasy. Scorsese was arguably never better, and when De Niro was once considered one of the greatest actors of all time, this movie is most likely why. You talking to me?

Simply brilliant.

"Taxi Driver" isn't your average film. It's a raw, uncompromising piece of art that doesn't intend to be liked but instead intends to be respected. It commands your attention from start to finish, every aspect of the film gripping hold of you and refusing to let go. From Hermann's dark, distinctive score to De Niro's truly incredible performance to Scorsese's remarkable directing, every piece of the film's puzzle connects perfectly, leaving you with a brutal, yet beautiful, picture.

it's like a t-shirt that says I Heart NY, except it's a movie!

Scorsese at his most thoughtful and deliberate.

This is no condemnation of New York's dark side; the filth described is all within the head of Travis Bickle, a character who seems incapable of connecting with others in the way we take for granted. All of his major conversations seem strained; while he mimics the social gestures of others, there's no substance to what he's saying. He doesn't understand how other people relate, but he's too egocentric to realize he's doing it wrong, and that the people he'd like to help don't want him at all.

Not sure what to make of this movie. Great acting as you would expect from DeNiro, but the story felt a bit weak sometimes...
