Taxi Driver

Although I'm now back in South London, I tried to retain some of the spirit of New York by watching the dvd of Taxi Driver. It's been ages since I last it and I have to say that I think it's a truly great film. De Niro is incredible as Travis Bickle with an amazing support cast of Harvey Keitel, Cybil Shepherd and Jodie Foster. Pimps, hookers, violence, sleaze, menace, pathos, great lines. It has everything. Worth re-visiting.

Watched it via Lovefilm, my favourite on line service. It's good to know there's a always a decent film on hand to watch. I was always late when I took my video back to Blockbuster. And I could never park the car on Balham HIgh Road.
