But within 30 minutes Mrs W had disappeared to do some ironing and after 45 minutes I needed to have a walk around because I was dropping off. I ordered it from Lovefilm and we even bought a new DVD player especially for the event. Thus, Scorsese’s Taxi Driver is on re-release, so here we are. It is what it is and everyfilmin2011 is helping me to make up some ground. I could make all sorts of excuses of why I seem to have ticked off every Kate Hudson or Jennifer Anniston romcom but haven’t seen these ‘classics’ but I’m not going to. In fact, I reckon we should probably do a separate section in which I and my band of followers admit to which classic films we haven’t seen.

Yes, and while I’m about it let me confess that I haven’t seen Apocalyse Now (but I will be doing so shortly), nor have I seen Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. “What? He calls himself a movie geek and he’s never seen Taxi Driver?” You see, I had never seen Taxi Driver before.

But before you judge me, let me put my case. My film reviewers’ credibility (if I had any) has just gone hurtling out of the metaphorical window. Taxi Driver: I am preparing to commit sacrilege, but I don’t think it passes the test of time.
