a gritty, unflinching look into the diseased mind of a psychopathic vietnam war veteran who, surrounded by the bright lights and seedy underbelly of new york, is fueled to commit various acts of violence, all while trying to protect a teenage prostitute (jodie foster). de niro is excellent as travis bickle, a performance i think far superior to his oscar-winning role in godfather part II. *nominated for 1977 best actor oscar;
lost to peter finch in network
greatest moment: see below
