8th time seeing this, 4th time this year, and 2nd time on 70mm with a fantastic audience. Somehow I had deluded myself into thinking this isn't my favorite PTA.

Taxi Driver 1976
There's a moment in Taxi Driver when Travis Bickle is balancing his TV set with his foot. There's a light tension in the air as it oscillates back and forth between the force of his foot and gravity. Ultimately it falls over, and its assured destruction is perhaps the film's most obvious parallel to Travis's own downward spiral. Teetering on the edge in his own mental illness and isolation, Travis is very much that TV set.
