Mean Streets -- Taxi Driver --Casino.

Cast: Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Griffin Dunne, Ray Liotta, Ellen Burstyn.Summary: [Mean streets] Charlie, a 27-year-old, tries to work his way up the bottom rungs of organized crime's ladder. Amy Robinson is Teresa, the girlfriend Charlie's family declares "unsuitable" because she has epilepsy. [Taxi Driver] This is the definitive cinematic portrait of loneliness and alienation manifested as violence. It is as if director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader had tapped into precisely the same source of psychological inspiration ("I just knew I had to make this film", Scorsese would later say), combined with a perfectly timed post-Watergate expression of personal, political and societal anxiety. Bickle (De Niro) is a self-appointed vigilante who views his urban beat as an intolerable cesspool of blighted humanity. He plays guardian angel for a young prostitute (Jodie Foster), but not without violently devastating consequences. [Casino] Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal. Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling.
