Hit a bit of a bump as I had to write an essay, pass a drivers test and was feeling unhappy last night so watched an already seen Comfort Movie (High Society). In any case:

Taxi Driver Oh my God I can't beleive I hadn't seen this yet. Loved it, thought it was awesome, wish I had Jodie Foster's acting ability when i was that age. And De Niro was just amazing.

Am about half way through La Dolce Vita

Funny, I thought Taxi Driver was highly overrated. Again, people talked it up too much for me. De Niro was good, but the whole story was muddled and I found it thoroughly unconvincing.

Now I'll get criticised for not liking something because everyone else likes it. ;)

I actually hadn't heard anything about it beyond "Whaddaya mean you haven't seen it?!?" and that Robert de Niro made up the "You talkin' to me?" bit.

I liked the muddled, it reminded me of how I felt when I was on (the wrong) anti-deppressants.

However, I am not going to criticise you as you're allowd not to like things. I myself seem to be the only person on earth to not like Little Britain after all. :-)

I didn't actually mean you'd criticise me... ;)

And don't worry, I get the whole not liking Little Britain thing; I can only take it in small doses myself. Actually, you're not the only one who doesn't like it at all - I know a few people who can't stand it.

By the way, if one of the movies you haven't yet seen is Citizen Kane and/or Casablanca, could I watch it with you? I haven't seen either of those.

Done! I beleive I'm getting Casablanca on Thursday and will have it a week, I'm sure we can find a two hour block when neither of us are busy.

Excellent! Next Sunday's no good as my family decided to be familial (bloody Mother's Day) but I'm sure we can work something out!

We need to watch The Castle.

I've seen it twice recently, so am content to wait a while before seeing it again. :-)

I never get tired of being able to point and say "That's hespa's mum!" though when she rocks up!

Ah yes, taxi driver. The film that almost killed Ronald Reagan.
