>What about it stood out for you upon multiple viewings?

I think for Mean Streets I went in with the intention of seeing an early version Goodfellas, and didn't really catch on to any themes of guilt or relate to Harvey's character. Guess I just wanted to see some gangsta shit at the time.

With Taxi Driver, I can't really pinpoint it but it's probably the same thing as far as how I approached it. I wasn't all that into character driven films at the time, and really knew nothing about the movie other than DeNiro saying "you talking...". The whole thing just caught me off guard. It was one of those movies i just wanted to see so I could say I saw it. I don't even know what made me want to see it again but when I did I was really into Travis' character. The fact that I related to him was kinda scary lol.
