A taxi isn't just a way of getting from one place to another for a vastly inflated fee. It can be a place for confession, for the beginning or end of relationships, or a something to be followed in a high-speed chase.
Whether you consider Luc Besson's future-fantasy an explosion of unique imagination or big ol' mess of nonsense, it would be hard to deny the brilliance of the car chase sequence in which Bruce Willis's taxi driver first meets gibbering sprite Mila Jovovich in a gravity-free zip through the city's skyscrapers.
This is the turning point for William Wyler's great romance. The moment at which Gregory Peck's weathered journalist decides not to simply send Audrey Hepburn's incognito princess away, but instead accompany the 'tired and emotional' royal home. Then the two gradually fall in love. Extra points for the taxi driver for making his mark in a fleeting scene with some really big acting.
Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) has always insisted that she doesn't need anyone, that she's better off alone. That changes in the film's closing scene when she realises that a life on her own is no life at all and flees her taxi to find the man she loves. And her cat.
The Dude (Jeff Bridges) is having a terrible day, with all sorts of problems with kidnappings and stolen rugs, and just wants a little bit of peace in the back of a cab. Unfortunately, he's jumped in a taxi driven by a man with the world's worst attitude to customer service and a penchant for soft rock.
Very rarely is the taxi an actual character. In live-action/animation hybrid Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Benny the Cab is an active participant in car chases, screaming instructions to the person driving him. Never quite made sense that he can control himself but only when there was no peril.
There are many great taxi scenes in Collateral, unsurprisingly given it's the story of a cab driver whose life changes completely when he picks up the wrong passenger (Tom Cruise). However, probably the most riveting isn't an action scene at all, but one in which driver Max (Jamie Foxx) and lawyer Annie (Jada Pinkett Smith) discuss life and the things that are important. 59ce067264
