45.) The Trailer
Remember when film trailers intrigued you with character details as opposed to just condensing the action into a three minute preview. I love the cold, daunting narration in a trailer which manages to highlight some of the film's themes as opposed to just giving away the plot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEJkjMkxJh0

47. French Title
Although 'Taxi Driver' might be a bland sounding title in the English-language, the movie was released in France under the moniker; "Chauffeur de taxi" Very cool.
48.) Multiple-Genres
Taxi Driver is a war movie, political drama, psychological study and an edgy thriller all rolled into one flawless and unforgettable package.
49. Quote
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
50.) A Timeless Classic
People will always harbour feelings of resentment and anger towards the outside world and Travis will always be there to for them to identify with. Loneliness is not going away anytime soon and neither is this film.
