"You either love it or you love it," wrote Michael Atkinson of Taxi Driver nearly 30 years after Voicecritic Andrew Sarris didn't love it much at all.

Hoberman) and relative unknowns (Oliver Stone?), while homing in on 150 indispensable films and the critiques that panned, lauded, dissected, and occasionally, made them.
