I was watching Taxi Driver recently. Probably hadn't seen it
in 20 years. What a great movie. DeNiro with the mohawk
telling a secret service agent about the suspicious looking
guys around is priceless. I love the final confrontation
between DeNiro and Keitel. Btw. I hadn't realized this
before, but Scorsese has a cameo in this - he's the guy who
has DeNiro drive him outside his apartment so he can watch
his wife cheat on him.
