13 Movies About the World’s Oldest Profession That Don’t Sugarcoat Anything

Taxi Driver (1976)

The young Jodie Foster is heartbreaking as a child so caught up in street life that she doesn’t comprehend how horribly she’s being exploited by the smooth-talking Sport (Harvey Keitel) in this masterful collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader.

With Mean Streets, Taxi Driver is one of the best and most-imitated time capsules of 1970s New York City street life, and it’s a testament to the film’s narrative virtuosity that by the end we’re rooting hard for obvious psychopath Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) to do what needs to be done.

De Niro and Foster were both nominated for Oscars in this, one of the most enduring and harrowing movies about sex trafficking.
