Pusher: 7/10 An extremely tense movie, and a great debut film. Definitely the weakest of the pusher trilogy though.

Bleeder: 9/10 A great character drama, connects with me especially for how I can relate so much to Lenny. So underrated.

Fear X : 6.5/10 My least favorite film by him, but it does have a great atmosphere despite the unsatisfying story.

Pusher 2: 10/10 One of my favorite films by him, and my favorite of the Pusher trilogy. The only one in the series with a somewhat optimistic ending.

Pusher 3: 8.5/10 A great end to the Pusher trilogy, Milo's growing sense of hopelessness throughout the film is so tense. Feels almost like a horror movie at times.

Bronson: 8.5/10 A wonderfully shot film, excellent acting, excellent soundtrack. One of my favorite biopics.

Valhalla Rising: 7.5/10 I adore the vibrant colors and brutal fight scenes. One of the only good Viking movies I've seen.

Drive: 10/10 The movie that made me discover and instantly fall in love with Nicolas. Not a wasted moment in the whole movie, and one of the most memorable openings I've seen to a film. I still listen to the soundtrack all the time.

Only God Forgives: 7.5/10 I think it's one of the most skillfully shot films I've seen, the lighting and interior design is amazing. I wish the characters were more developed, Gosling's lack of dialogue makes his character seem too similar to "The Driver"

You're really going to enjoy Pusher 2 and 3. They're such fantastic movies. And they saved his career after the financial failure of Fear X. I'm eagerly awaiting "I Walk With the Dead". I'm dying to see how he does horror. After David Lynch, Nicolas is my all time favorite director. It's great to know that there's a filmmaker like him around nowadays.
