Drive https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/Drive2011Poster.jpg Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn Genre: Action, Crime Year: 2011 I don't know a single person who doesn't like Drive. Upon release, everyone who saw it was floored by the stylish visuals, the kick-ass original soundtrack, and the brutal realism of the action scenes. It helped launch the quasi-80s nostalgia trend that is still kicking to this day, mainly because it reminded people that style can elevate the simplest of stories. The initial driving scene through the Staples Center is still one of the best action scenes ever recorded. If you weren't familiar, you might think the entire movie was like this--sort of like a Fast and Furious 7 with more neon lighting or something--but you would be incorrect. Drive pumps the brakes after that opening rush, which actually helps temper the film and make it more rewatchable time and again. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
