#61. Taxi Driver (1976)


Director: Martin Scorsese
Screenplay: Paul Schrader
Cast: Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybil Shepherd, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel, Leonard Harris, Albert Brooks

Quote: "I got some bad ideas in my head."

Martin Scorsese's night film about taxi driver Travis Bickle was unexpected and the film ended with a blast of a finale. Driving at night, Travis helplessly becomes the portal for crime, prostitutes and evil things. Here, we join Travis' adventure and experiences to get the girl he wants, the amazing political Betsy (Cybil Shepherd) and save a child from prostituting herself (Jodie Foster). But what happens when you feed on too much evil experiences? Answer: A whipping lash out.
