Taxi Driver (1976)

love taxi driver too, 'HEY YOU TALKIN TO ME?"

 

I loved Robert De Niro in this movie.

 

I saw Taxi Driver when I was about 17 and working in a theater. There were people walking out at the end because of the violence. Now it's tame compared to current movies. It's still one of my all time favorites.

 

Hey Junior,
What do you know about the 70's. If you're 27 years old, like weren't you an infant? And you're certainly a hostile little person.

 

Hi Movielover, just to let you know that water baby wrote that about 2 years ago. I'm not even sure if he's still around.

 

Thanks. I was visiting the Twilight Zone and didn't notice the posting date...........

 

As you will gather from the quality of his threads classics like: "Who is your Favourite Black Actor?" The medium of cinematography has only recently been introduced to his village, and we'll have to wait a couple of centuries before he understands certain principles on political correctness, social equality, etc.

 

Taxi Driver is a great movie. I read that DeNiro actually drove a cab in New York before shooting the film. Even back then it was dangerous.

 

It "was" dangerous. For those who got in the cab with him driving it.

 

The 1960's was an intoxicating decade. The 1970's was an extended hangover.

 

"Taxi Driver" inspired John Hinkley to try to kill President Reagan. It is a dangerous movie because the script writer modeled the DeNiro character on the young men who killed John and Robert Kennedy and John Lennon, and who tried to kill George Wallace.
