TAXI DRIVER
Epix, 8:00 p.m. ET
I recommend this movie a lot – usually, every time it pops up unedited on TV – and this is no exception. Martin Scorsese’s 1976 movie is a masterpiece of filmmaking, and Robert De Niro gives a performance as singular, and defining, as Marlon Brando’s in A Streetcar Named Desire a generation before. And pay particular attention, this time around, to some of the supporting players usually overlooked when people discuss Taxi Driver – Albert Brooks, for example, and Cybill Shepherd.
