Part biting satire, part disturbing character study, Martin Scorsese's 1983 film The King of Comedy is an underrated masterpiece. Robert De Niro gives one of his greatest and most nuanced performances as the lonely and delusional Rupert Pupkin, who dreams of becoming a hit comedian. This haunting and hilarious movie has slowly risen in stature over the years and is now more relevant in today's media obsessed society than ever before. One of my favourite films. – Matthew
