not a documentary, dont know why I clicked that, must be my insomnia playing up again...

good idea swampy... from now on I'll honor this request, and next time I've got touch of insomnia or a few minutes to spare I'll go back and change the tags on any vintage clips I've submitted.

PS. Personally, I only do vintage if its older than myself, so essentially that falls under choggie's 25 year guidline... I'm just not yet prepared for the 80s to be vintage.

I know what to watch next time I get insomnia.

Travis Bickle (De Niro) is an alienated, isolated, depressed and sexually frustrated young man of 26 from the Midwest, who says he was a Marine. He suffers from chronic insomnia and consequently takes a job as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City. Travis spends his spare time watching pornography in seedy porn theaters and driving around aimlessly through the shadiest neighborhoods of Manhattan.

In this scene we clearly see how his isolation has reached levels where his only communication is with himself in the mirror.

Taxi Driver is a 1976 American film drama directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. It is widely considered one of the greatest, but also one of the most controversial films in the history of American cinema and is frequently praised for its strong performances and gritty realism. The film is also notable for making stars out of both its leading actors, Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster; the latter was only thirteen years old when the movie was released. It was also the last film on which the legendary composer Bernard Herrmann (famed for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, especially Psycho) completed work on, and Taxi Driver is dedicated to his memory.

Memento is a neo-noir–psychological thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan (who went on to direct Insomnia and Batman Begins), based on his brother Jonathan's short story "Memento Mori."

The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance fraud investigator hunting for his wife's murderer. During the attack on his wife, Leonard suffered severe head trauma and lost the ability to make new memories. To cope with his condition, he keeps a collection of notes, photographs, and tattoos to remind himself of people, places, and events he cannot remember.

He is aided in his investigation by "Teddy" (Joe Pantoliano) and Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), neither of whom Leonard is sure he can trust.
