Still my personal favourite film of all time!


I've seen films you wouldn't believe. Attack sh- no but seriously, I just think i'm a sucker for crime-dramas, honestly I loved the ambient music in this film too and the visuals! EVERYTHING JUST FITS PERFECTLY!

Nice Blade Runner referencereference (my #1 film of all time). But I totally agree about Drive. It's a perfect film and in my top 5

It's definitely one of the best films of the last ten years. A lot of people hate it. That makes me love it more.

It had a perfect tone, didnt it?
80's music style, Friedkin/Mann feeling, desperate crimes, broken up romances, the 'hero' was a bit of an oddball...
Loved this movie (i think im in the minority here but fuck it)
Great one!

Definitely in my top 5 of all time, I love that Refn got a film like this made as it's very much an Art House crime flick. It's so stripped back that you can't strip it back anymore cause it fall apart.Gosling probably gives his most iconic performance, that silent ruthless hero always do wonders just ask Clint Eastwood. Gosling can tell you a ton by simple gesture, rather then a massive speech. Albert Brooks and Ron Pearlman are great villains with a lot of depth. Always great to see Bryan Cranston in anything. Carey Mulligan isn't give a lot to do but when she is she's very good. I always forget Oscar Isaac is in this as Mulligan's Jailbird Husband. Throw in awesome camera work, a synth soundtrack that's now been copied to death and this is the film that started the 80's throwback love of recent years. Crazy to think this film was supposed to be a 80 million dollar film with Hugh Jackman.

Probably my favorite film along with There will Be Blood and Dead Man Shoes of the last 18 years.

Possibly the best film of the 2010’s.

The new 4K disc is exquisite, buy it.

Possibly the best film of the 2010’s.

The 10s are a strange decade for English language cinema. The early half gave us masterworks like Drive, Sicario, and Skyfall. The latter half was reminiscent of the gaudy days of mainstream Hollywood during The 80s, when franchise and tentpole flicks exerted a stranglehold over the film industry in The US
