Shame the winner was Rocky, not Scorsese’s masterpiece of urban alienation, which turns 35 this month.

Though its iconic elements – De Niro’s unstable cabbie, Jodie Foster’s child prostitute, “You talkin’ to me?” – earned immortality, it’s screenwriter Paul Schrader’s palpable disgust that resonated (and still does) with disaffected viewers, notably John Hinckley Jr, a fan of Foster’s who shot at Reagan in 1981.

He missed his target. Scorsese and co do not.
