50th Anniversary Of Taxi Driver

In my pre-teen years is when my love for cinema started kicking into higher gear.

My first Martin Scorsese film experience was "Goodfellas" back in 1992 when I snuck the VHS tape into my parent's house (I got busted and the tape was taken away until my father deemed he was ready to share it with me). After that first viewing, I was hooked and wanted to see more of Scorsese's cinema. I believe "Taxi Driver" was my fourth or fifth Scorsese film! Like many, I saw the iconic: "You Talking To Me?" monologue in various film clips over the years and I was psyched when I was finally able to see it within it's context!

I've seen "Taxi Driver" countless times since and have been fortunate enough to see it on the big screen twice! I consider "Taxi Driver" Scorsese's third masterpiece and it somehow gets better, scarier & more relevant after each viewing!
