Half Century Mark

It was 1976.  Cannes Film Festival awarded Palm d'Or, the festival's top grand prize, to Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver", perhaps one of the most audacious, controversial script over the history of cinema was recognized.

And till this day, exactly 50 years later, it remains as a film icon, and a classic, but then it is the Cannes, could bring out the honor to such a symbolic, original screenplay by Paul Schrader, brought out legendary paths to Scorsese, De Niro, and Jodie Foster.

And it was also 1976, the box office success, the most grossing film of the year, and stardom to Sylvester Stallone, by his own "Rocky", and the best picture Oscar later.  And the rest is history, for both of them ?  "Rocky"'s 50th anniversary 4K restored version runs from Nov. 7-11.
