Taxi driver

 

As s_s is a fan of Casino I can safely recommend everything by Scorsese. Everyone has their different faves, for me its Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Last Temptation of Christ, but all of them are well worth owning and have several viewings in them. The King of Comedy is a case in point, when I first watched it I thought it was meh, 3 viewings later and its brilliantly funny and quietly disturbing.

 

Also, anything by the Coen Brothers, apart from Ladykillers.

 

plus

 

Election (1999)

 

The Limey (1999)

 

Twenty Four Seven (1997)

 

There Will Be Blood (2008 )

Yeah, my favourite ever film is Taxi Driver but may I also recommend:

 

Dog Day Afternoon

Amores Perros

Punch-Drunk Love

Les Quatre Cent Coups

Anything by Wes Anderson (Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited etc)

[Roman]

Both of Terrence Malick's movies from the 1970s can't be missed:

 

Badlands

Days of Heaven.

 

Other gems from the golden age of American cinema:

 

Shampoo

The Exorcist

Duel

The Conversation

All the President's Men

The Parallax View

Three Days of the Condor

 

...and anything which has John Milius's credit on it. (One of his most famous contributions to film was the uncredited writing of Robert Shaw's 'Indianapolis' speech in Jaws)

 

Finally, for when you have the flu again:

 

How to Murder Your Wife (Watch it for the court scene if nothing else)

[Big Poppa]

I'd definitely recommend...

 

Nil By Mouth (Ray Winstone)

Grosse Pointe Blank (John Cusack)

24 Hour Party People (Steve Coogan)

Scum (Ray Winstone)

From Dusk Till Dawn (George Clooney)

The Godfather Trilogy (Al Pacino)

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (Jack Nicholson)

The Commitments (Andrew Strong)
