Taxi! (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 11, 2018
Taxi! is indubitably parked in the pantheon of misquotes and few people probably realize it. Yes, this is the film where Warner Bros. tough guy James Cagney purportedly sneered, “You dirty rat, you killed my brother!” I remember hearing the line in everything from The Monkees to M*A*S*H read more

Offbeat Blu-ray Review: Taxi Driver
Hitchcock Master Posted by Devon Powell on Nov 14, 2013
“We looked at Hitchcock’s The Wrong Man for the moves when Henry Fonda goes into the insurance office and the shifting points of view of the people behind the counter. That was the kind of paranoia that I wanted to employ.” -Martin Scorsese Alfred Hitchcock’s influence is qui read more
Taxi! (1932, Roy Del Ruth)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 12, 2013

Movie Classics Posted by Judy on Feb 15, 2009
If you ask around among James Cagney fans about which of his movies they’d most like to see get a DVD release, this pre-code film will be near the top of the list.
