Taxi Driver. Best fim ever? - General Discussion Discussion

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

I think ' Taxi Driver ' is a vile film. Right up there with ' Apocalypse Now '.

As far as gangster movies go my favourite would be ' Casino '.

Otherwise here are five firm favourite films of mine:

Now, Voyager (1942) - Bette Davis
Rio Bravo (1959) - John Wayne
Three Days Of The Condor (1975) - Robert Redford
Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979) - It's...
Freeway (1996) - Reese Witherspoon

I love the fact you can't fix your caps lock, its so you:)

You make a valid point. I guess the difference is that I found ' Taxi Driver ' to be a totally repellent film with regard to the story and characters. As you point out the same could be said about ' Freeway '. But it is all done with such verve and flair and Reese Witherspoon is so hilarious that the film for me transcends its subject matter.

FREEWAY IS A LOT OF FUN...TAXI DRIVER IS A BUMMER.SO I TEND TO AGREE.

Taxi Driver is vile. What are we talking about here? Your taste or the merit of a film?

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Well I know it's a difficult concept for the intellectually challenged to grasp but if you read what I have posted here you will have your answer.

Edit your thread title dude, you typed fim instead of film. Taxi Driver is great, Goodfellas is a masterpiece.

Let’s just all agree on The Wizard of Oz. Everyone on earth seems to think it’s a great and fun film.

Calm down, Judy.

' The Wizard of Oz ' has the most depressing sentence ever uttered in film history:
" There's no place like home."

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Why does she want to go home?
They treat her like shit. Wanna take her dog away.
No friends.
Drab and dreary tornado alley.

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

No you don't get the horror. She has no home to go to because THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Do you see ?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Home is where the heart is.
But, you're saying it's an imaginary construct?
