Taxi Driver

Vs.

Animal House

 

[AnthonyMango/NoFate007]

You know, I thought at first that this would be a really tough one, but when I actually thought about it, the answer came up pretty fast.

Taxi Driver is a great film, no doubt. Pushed some of the limits for violence at that time period, gave us the classic "you talkin' to me?" scene, so on and so forth. But I think when it boils down, the choice becomes Animal House. Despite only being 21 and not having been born when it came out (and by proxy, certainly not being their target audience when it came out anyway) I can still watch this movie and laugh at it, which is a VERY difficult thing for comedies to do. After a while, you get desensitized from their jokes, but I still find Animal House hilarious, while Taxi Driver has sort of lost its edge on me after about the third time of watching it. The last time I had it on, it was just on TV and I decided about midway through to change the channel as there wasn't anything to look forward to anymore. With all due respect to Taxi Driver, my vote will be going to...

Animal House.

I don't disagree with NoFate often, as I recently found out we are both huge Terminator fans. But when it comes down to it, Taxi Driver, starring a very young Robert De Niro is far superior to the John Belushi hilarity in Animal House. The story of Taxi Driver is painted by a young man who becomes...a taxi driver... and sees life in a very simple way. The climatic genius of it is unmatched by a guy who parties a lot during campus life. Vote for Taxi Driver.
