Taxi Driver is a great movie. This is a must-see.

If you're lucky enough to have the version with the Paul Schrader(the writer) interview on it, check it out, it's chilling. He describes all the Taxi Driver obssessed fans who related it strongly to their own lives, including one scary one who comes into his office and says, "How did you know about me?"

Sometimes I think Holden Caulfield grew up into Travis Bickle.

You think Taxi Driver is boring, which is amazing and just wrong. I don't think you "get" the movie, and it sounds like you don't get where I'm going with the comparison, either.

Shouldn't you have been logged in as bad advice guy when you posted this?

Taxi Driver's a fantastic movie. I actually haven't seen Matchstick Men, I generally avoid Nic Cage when I can. East of Eden is the old James Dean movie? I've never seen it but it's supposed to be a classic. I say either Taxi Driver or East of Eden.

I think you are being a dick telling me that I didn't "get" Taxi Driver. Maybe it didn't have the same effect on me that it did on you, but that doesn't mean that I didn't understand what the film was trying to express.

The comparison of Holden to Travis Bickle is completely absurd. How did you come to that conclusion?
