* Who could ever forget the famous scene where Robert [=DeNiro=] poses in a mirror with a magnum and asks "[[YouTalkinToMe You talkin' to me]]?" You may forget it was from ''Taxi Driver'', you may never have ''known'' it was from ''Taxi Driver'', you may never even have ''heard'' of ''Taxi Driver'', but ''you will not forget that quote''.
* The music, the main theme. It perfectly captures the stylish CityNoir atmosphere associated with the film: existential, lonesome, and hypnotic. It was Bernard Herrmann's last work before he died during the production.
* His motivations and methods were questionable, but at the end of the day Travis got Iris reunited with her family and that's pretty awesome.
* [[RoaringRampageOfRescue The final shootout]]. Even years after its release when violence has grown more commonplace in film, it still manages to be both ''[[{{Gorn}} brutal]]'' and incredibly cathartic.
