Taxi Driver: We’re not going to spend a lot of time on this, because the parallels are so obvious and intentional. Taxi Driver takes place in 1975 and Joker takes place soon after in 1981. (We know this from the movies shown on the marquees in both films). They both take place in urban hellscapes, and follow a rangy, unstable loner with a gun who becomes fixated on a politician.

You forgot to include "Conquest for the Planet of the Apes" from 1972. The end riot scene, with Joker being pulled form the back of the crushed police car, laid out on the hood of another vehicle and then rising to his feet as the night sky burns with flames and the crowd's anger, recalls the last 15 minutes of "Conquest for the Planet of the Apes" without question.
