Today I got my Bickle on. I don't get my Bickle on every day. In fact, it had been a few years since I last got my Bickle on, but today I was on vacation, with nothing better to do.

I wasn't really a fan. I thought it was kinda all over the place...really weird.
Scorsese's masterpiece, and a milestone in cinema history. As a character study, as a political film, as a gritty film noir, it is perfect.
The fact that this film introduced the world to three powerhouse entertainers - actor Robert DeNiro, filmmaker Martin Scorsese, and writer ... ...( read more )
Only in the 70's do you get a psycho (a real one, not a compromise like Hannibal Lector.) that ends up a hero. (But you feel like the story doesn't end when the screen fades to black, as if Travis could build up and go off again and not have good luck come down on his circumstanc... ...( read more )
So Harvey Keitel plays a cheesy pimp and Jodie Foster a 12 year old prositute; and listen, you screwheads, Travis Bickle (Robert Deniro) gets bored and kills some people. So there you have it. I enjoyed the film score and the great narration. Wasn't really a whole lot more to it ... ...( read more )
''You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talking... you talking to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? OK.''

An unparalleled portrait of loneliness, Taxi Driver is also one of the finest character studies ever put to film. Martin Scorsese is the perfect director fpr this piece, because he soaks up the ugliness of the world that the main character (Travis Bickle) inhabits while also cons... ...( read more )
Martin Scorsese's masterpiece. Taxi Driver is a violent, compelling, and slightly strange character study of a bizzare man. It tells the story of mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran who works as a nighttime taxi driver in a city that constantly feeds his hunger to violently las... ...( read more )
Martin Scorsese is a genius. Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro, is complex as he tries to find out, what seems to be his purpose, who he is and what makes him tick. I think, i like this movie for its approach toward its characters. The supposed hero is not exactly golden bo... ...( read more )
What is there to say about Taxi Driver that hasn't already been said? DeNiro nailed the role and the rest of the cast is fine, even though they're not in it all that much. This is still among Scorsese's best direction, and the storyline is tense and brooding. Very good, still uni... ...( read more )
Good film, somewhat overrated though. Great performances by Robert De Niro, Cybill Shepherd, and Jodie Foster.
This is what happen when you make friend with loneliness. Travis, vietnam vet, is a taxi driver. he can't sleep. he doesn't have social life. so he makes plan to do something great, with his style. The best performance of Robert de Niro
"You talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?" This line is considered one of the most memorable in movie history! It was an improve idea by DeNiro. He told Marty,"Point the camera at the mirror. I have an idea." Unbelievable huh?
seen this movie found it real and how the dangerous streets in a big city are strange as it seems, and he tries to save this 13 year old prostitute, because it made actor Robert Deniro revolted and dilisional deniro snaps and loses his mind in vigilantism, and goes on a spree, wa... ...( read more )
A must-see film for movie lovers, this Martin Scorsese masterpiece is as hard-hitting as it is compelling, with Robert De Niro at his best.

This movie nearly kept me away from any DeNiro movie - glad I tried the rest of his repetoire. DID NOT like this movie!!! Too sleazy - no redeeming points.
