Sleeping Beauty is definitely bottom of the list for me, too. Just throwing that out there. She's not Pocohantas bad, but she still sucks. How you be hating on Poco? She like AOC fiiine!

Aurora is I think the least beloved princess. People sleep on her , I find her and the movie lame aside from the villain. I have to agree. Aurora dosen't really do anything.  Maleficent pretty much makes the movie. Nailed it. Sleeping Beauty is the Disney princess definition of white meat babyface. She's purely there to play serviceable foil to a far more interesting heel. The most telling sign that Aurora is boring is I don't even care about seeing dem tiddies.

*facepalm*
My daughter would argue Ariel is her favorite along with The Little Mermaid. My daughter was raised on Disney and was a Princess through and through which was the complete opposite of myself.  When we bought our first house we let her choose the color and theme for her bedroom and next thing we knew it looked like we'd hosed the whole place down with Pepto Bismol complete with castle and Disney Princesses a go-go. Â
Sleeping Beauty is my second favorite Disney Animated film and Aurora my second favorite Princess.
Aurora is I think the least beloved princess. People sleep on her , I find her and the movie lame aside from the villain. Sorry I'm late to the party. I was literally snoozing. Finally woke up, and first thing I see is... I see what you did there. Well played, dad.

Nah. Jasmine and Snow White for me. Cinderella would obviously be the #1 though, but she's not in my top 2. Jasmine and Elsa are my favorites I think. That’s forever changing though and I could argue Belle and Moana in those spots. Snow White is a timeless movie but as a princess I don’t care for her either way. The dwarves make the movie IMO but she gets props for being the OG. I’m do think there is a case for Belle being #2 behind Cinderella though in terms of overall popularity. I’d have to find a place to do research. Bold is yet further proof Moana > Frozen, to rehash that convo.

Yeah even my daughter who like IMs daughter was/is all about the princesses completely no sells Aurora. She has pretty much everyone on her wall or in her room in some fashion and Aurora only shows up in the bed set because she has to. Thought Captain Marvel has taken some key wall space previously occupied by Rapunzel and Ariel.

Beauty and the Beast is so good it still made my list even though Belle didn't show dem tiddies. Testament to its greatness. She’s underage you pervert. Meh, fake news. Show me her birth certificate. Then I might reconsider. Worst case, if she was 17 or whatever in 1991, she was definitely 18+ by the time I became re-aware of tits. Better buy yourself some Mike Hard's Lemonade 🤯 and take a seat. I don't get this reference. But I do know that Mike's Hard Lemonade is approximately like drinking perfume.

So biases aside , is Belle the top Disney Princess? She isn’t my favorite but I feel that in most polls/discussions she is the favorite by the masses. I feel like it’s 60% or the population that’s team Belle. Give or take. Actually it’s probably still Cinderella. Belle is in contention though. I think Cinderella and Snow White are like the Hogan and Savage of Disney princesses. Snow White suffers from being outshined and upstaged by the dwarves similar to Savage being outshined and upstaged by Hogan and even Miss Elizabeth to an extent. But no one is batting an eyelash if you strap the strap to Snowy Dubs as the face of your promotion. Then I think Belle and Jasmine are like the Stone Cold and Rock. The stars of a hot peak period for a subsequent generation. Then there's Ariel as the real answer. She's Disney Ric Flair. Maybe not the best business, but impossible to argue her legacy and popular appeal even to this day. Whereas Aurora is known as Sleeping Beauty because know one knows who the fuck Aurora is, Little Mermaid is as synonymous with Ariel as Nature Boy is to Flair. Buddy Rogers be damned.

I'm not 100% sold on any order , but I love Elsa. Sad that the Frozen backlash has come back against one of the better princesses. I don't know that Moana could surpass her. They are both great though.

It's definitely not Ariel , she doesn't hold up well to today's incredibly PC era and watching the movie , she is quite annoying and pretty dumb. I mean she gives up her voice for a man she's never talked to. What a chump. Great voice and songs though.

As for Taxi Driver , it's definitely the Beauty and the Beast of the 70's. Needs more music though.
It's a well crafted movie , Bobby D puts in a great performance but I found it to be rather boring and probably won't ever return to it.

That's how I feel too. My dad however was probably one of the biggest DeNiro fans on the planet, so I just felt a slap upside the head and heard 'what the hell is wrong with you' from the after life as I typed that.

I feel like I'd really enjoy TD, especially since I love Joker so much. But for whatever reason I've never been interested in checking it out.

TD may have been my biggest letdown ever. Everyone made it out to be this incredible masterpiece. I watched it in my late twenties. It was alright. Reasonable assessment. Now maybe if there had been at least 50% more taxi driving, it might start approaching true greatness. But as it stands, there was barely more taxi driving in this than Raging Bull. On a generous evening, I rate Taxi Driver 3 🚖's out of 5.

Taxi Driver is not a movie for everyone but for me it hit all the right notes. Flawless performance by DeNiro and great supporting performances from Jodie Foster (12 at the time) and Harvey Keitel. It also features the last score composed by the great Bernard Hermann and he dosen't disappoint one bit. It's not only a great character study of a man slowly losing his grip on reality but also Scorsese's commentary on how much of a wretched hive NYC was during this time. As you go through the movie you really start wondering if Travis is really that crazy considering the world around him he has to live in every day.
Also as System pointed out anyone who has ever worked at night in the city will quickly pick up on the beats and tone of the movie.

No Country is a movie that I appreciate more and more everytime I watch it , I seen it in the theatres and really liked it but forgot about it for a long while and going back to it I was borderline blown away at just how great it was and how it came from the Coens. Subsequent rewatches have continued to put it up my list. Chigurh is one of the best villains of all time and the performance is up there with all timers too. The Brolin twist still baffles me and so disorienting that it just works. Also love that there is so little score and music in this movie - it just sets it up so well.
Fun facts because I was going to do trivia on this and forgot.
- In a psychiatric study with many in the field watching over 400 movies , Chigurh was called the more realistic psychopath they've seen in a movie.
- Despite being top billed , TLJ actually gets the least amount of screentime amongst the big three of the movie.
- The main three characters never share a single scene together in the movie.
- There is only 16 minutes of actual score in the movie.

Taxi Driver is such an overrated piece of crap. I've said this before, too. Yeah, it's a classic and it's iconic but it did not age well.
