The Bickle and Pupkin characters have no ability to relate with other people on a personal level, and their lives spiral out of control for different reasons, but they both share a sick fascination with the past, and the simpler times. They are anachronisms in many ways. I think Scorsese directed both movies for basically the same reasons. They share the same soul.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
King of Comedy is really good. I can't believe I forgot that on my list...
