Movies I have watched since being quarantined
- Thread starter The Joker
- Start date
Haven't seen True Romance in years.... But remember liking it!
Idiocracy doesn't seem like my type of movie....
Did you see the Wolf of Wall Street?.... Thought at the time it was the best picture of the year.... But now I don't remember what the others were....
12 Years a Slave won "Best Picture" that year.
The other nominees that year were........
American Hustle
Captain Phillips
Dallas Buyers Club
Her
Nebraska
Philomena
The Wolf of Wall Street
I went and found the scene. I remember not knowing who the Moor's were and that's what I tried to research.
I remember visiting with a buddy of mine on that scene and how he had to come up with a way for them to kill him and the tell that he had a plan was when he changed his mind on the cigarette. Now I don't remember if that is because it was discussed in the movie or if it was something we inferred from the scene.
Now Austinite Mike Judge nailed this

Taxi Driver
is a 1976 American neo-noir psychological thriller crime drama film[5][6] directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Paul Schrader, and starring Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris and Albert Brooks. Set in a decaying and morally bankrupt New York City following the Vietnam War, the film tells the story of Travis Bickle (De Niro), a lonely taxi driver who descends into insanity as he plots to assassinate both the presidential candidate (Harris) for whom the woman (Shepherd) he is infatuated with works, and the pimp (Keitel) of an underage prostitute (Foster) he befriends.
A critical and commercial success upon release and nominated for four Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, Best Actor (for De Niro) and Best Supporting Actress (for Foster), Taxi Driver won the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival. The film generated controversy at the time of its release for its depiction of violence and casting of a 13-year-old Foster in the role of a child prostitute.
I watched this again..I still don't think it is a great film.
