scarface vs. taxidriver which one is better? - Blu-ray Forum

adgegavkyle · 08-15-2012, 01:56 AM

The other night I watched scarface for the first time and I absolutely loved it. Tonight I am watching taxi driver which I have also never seen. I had always heard great things about it too. So my question is which one is better in your opinion?

Apples and oranges. I like them both for different reasons, but they're not really comparable

I love Scarface, but Taxi Driver is my 2nd favorite film of all-time behind Mulholland Drive.

Go watch the movie.

From two of my favorite directors, I prefer Taxi Driver as it's my favorite Scorsese. Scarface is over-the-top De Palma, which he does best, but this one's too campy.

I side with Taxi Driver. I've seen scarface several times but never really warmed to it. Al's evil black eye makeup and wonky accent just leave me smh.

taxi is disturbing but has some truly surprising LOL moments. I'm thinking of the scene where travis gets some life advice from a fellow cabbie outside the diner.

adgegavkyle · 08-15-2012, 02:05 AM

Yeah I totally understand with the apples and oranges comments.

Haha 100%.

Love 'em both but, gun to my head, Taxi Driver is definitely a more important and consistent movie.

I prefer Taxi Driver overall, though both are classic.

I agree. Although, I'm not a fan of most De Palma movies.

Taxi Driver. Better film, better lead performance.
