Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976)

9/10
The more I think about it, the more I like it, and the more I want to return to its dank, seedy portrayal of New York. I didn't find Travis Bickle to be quite as fascinating a character as he's hyped up to be (although he's been copied and parodied and watered down so many times since 1976 that it's not the movie's fault) but everything around him - the other characters and especially the city - was tremendous.
