All time great - A Masterpiece
It's hard for me to rank the films Scorsese made with DeNiro in this era, Mean Streets and Raging Bull are masterpieces as well. Seeing Taxi Driver on a big screen again really affected me, almost as much as it did in 76. The portrayal of psychotic loneliness is devastating. This could be my favorite DeNiro performance, though as I said, it's hard for me to rank. one warning for those who haven't seen this: Don't see it if you're in a bad place emotionally, because this is not a feel-good film, and it's hard to dissociate from the title character's mental state.
