Taxi Driver

All time classic film about bleak, crippling loneliness. De Niro and Scorsese portrayed such a raw, disturbing character study that has stayed within me for so many years, and only increases in impact upon rewarches.

Good Movie

A decent steelbook.. Got it at a very competitive price.. It's matt finished but not embossed.. The artwork however is exquisite which makes up for the price.. A must have for every Scorsese fan..

Best of Martin Scorsese.....

very good movie

I bought it for I heard great reviews about this movie but I didn't appeal me much.

Last saw this on cable about 15 years ago for about the 5th time, and liked it after every viewing, spaced about 3 or 4 years apart. Fast forward to day with a longer gap between views, coupled with higher quality blu-ray this time, and I now love it more than ever. This film has aged very, very well for me. I'm telling you a quality transfer to blu-ray from original film elements improves the color depth and contrast and audio so much so that it's like watching with a new perspective. Especially watching on a good quality big screen tv, in a dark room, sitting close to get a cinema theater type experience. Trivia that I learned in the extras: A big scene with blood late in the film looked oddly brownish to me, instead of dark crimson red. I was thinking a defect in the color from a damaged film element. Turns out the brownish blood was by design, via censorship from the powers that be. The scene was so graphic for the time that the only way the censors would let the scene remain was to alter the blood's color in post, to make a little less graphic. A deranged DeNiro is at his height as a young actor, and Cybil Shephard's sizzling good looks and decency create a dynamic contrast that bodes so well for the story line. This is pure cinema and story telling at its finest.

Obra maestra en 4k. Edición británica.

I am not going to review the film itself because there is no way that I am worthy of doing that. This is one of my all-time favourite films, and I have probably seen it 20-30 times. Robert DeNiro is amazing in his role. There are so many memorable, iconic, scenes and yet the one that always sticks in my mind is Martin Scorsese as the passenger - that is amazing and disturbing! I was really impressed with the whole package. I found the special features very good, compared with those tacked on to other films of similar vintage. They were relevent, and give a modern audience some good insight into the context of this story. I was in NYC in the 1970s and it was very different! The features also give good insight into the general themes of the movie - things that had not occurred to me and make me worry a bit about why this is my favourite film; I may have to go back to Alfie, Rocky Horror, or A Clockwork Orange. Anyway, I love this package, am glad I bought it, and it has pride of place in my DVD collection. You won't be disappointed.

Una película de culto. Excelente contenido de extras. Las 4 estrellas son porque la slipcover llegó maltratada de una esquina. El servicio de primera. ¡Gracias!

This is one of the Martin Scorsese movie's that you have to see, it is a bit of a slow paced movie but that just gives it time to tell you the story and let you try to understand Robert De Niro's character, and why he feels the way he does, when he looks at his surroundings in New York at that time. If you are not familiar with what I mean then look at movies based in New York in the 1970's and compare them with movies based in New York today, and you can see how much New York has changed. The 1970's been very sleazy, covered in graffiti and crime infested in a lot of areas, compared to how much cleaner New York is today. There is still crime in New York, just like there is in most other big cities around the world, but you can definitely see the difference. This is a good movie and a must see for fans of Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese.
