The King of Comedy (1982) - 4/5

This movie is one of the top films in the stalker genre and for good reason. It manages to be endearing and funny without detracting from the seriousness and depravity of its subject matter. In many ways this is the movie that Taxi Driver wanted to be, being much clearer about its characters’ motivations and more coherent overall.

Closest comparison: It’s like Joker (2019) by way of Taxi Driver.

Setting: Corporate Drama
Plot: Stalker Thriller
Tone: Awkward Dramedy
