WafflehouseJK 10/21/19 7:45:00 AM #4:	If you say Taxi Driver is anything but a classic you're just straight up wrong, regardless of your personal thoughts on the film. Being a "classic" has little to nothing to do with personal taste, it's about its overall impact on culture and filmmaking, which Taxi Driver has had an undeniable impact on both. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up." <cite>WafflehouseJK posted [p:929041229] in Taxi Drive...

Although I think people really overstate Scorcese's hand in it and understate the strength of Paul Schrader's script, he's the real genius of that collaborative pair. <cite>p-m posted [p:929041278] in Taxi Drive...
