I prefer Valhalla Rising over Bronson. But both movies have great performances by Mads Mikkelson and Tom Hardy respectively.

As do I. Hell of a trip Valhalla Rising takes you. Mads was badass in it.

The Radio 1 Rescore was just not as good. It's like ordering a steak and eggs sunnyside up at a restaurant and then they give you a hamburger with a side of cottage cheese and fruit.
A different experience entirely.
Can't wait till BBC three does this for more films!

After a few years and more viewings I still don't get the hard-on that so many people have for this film. It still comes off like Refn was trying too hard to make an artsy over the top violent film. Its disappointing because I wanted to like this when I saw it initially and didn't but thought maybe repeat viewings would help my view on it but nope. Overall to me still one of the most overrated films in recent years.

Outside of one scene in an elevator, I don't recall anything in the movie being overly artsy. It just seems like a movie from a different era and is really entertaining. It's A grade film making applied to a b-grade movie.

Drive was a very affecting film for me when it came out. Like a moron, driving a lesser car, I'd just drive around the city listening to the score.

I mean, while we're at it, why don't we just try watching Reservoir dogs by removing stuck in the middle with you and just put in some other music. Just doesn't work the same.

No it doesn't, but at the same time Madsen seems uncomfortably psychotic without the music.

This movie is two scenes. The opening chase and the elevator. Other than that, its terrible. Except for the jacket.

I am currently watching it on IFC. Its one of my top 10 favorite movies. Never understood the hate from some. But i learnt a long time ago not everyone has good taste, and understand thats their problem.
Oh and would love to know that list of movies he stole from.

start here. Google will be your friend I don't care enough to go beyond the most obvious.
Yup- owned.

But it has too cool for school electronic music and barely any dialogue - it's a classic!
Kidding; I really liked the movie, too.

Didn't know about this Radio 1 re-score. I saw a clip from the race scene and it came off as pretty generic.
Should have went with the original score that was dropped. Symmetry by Johnny Jewel:
That would have been interesting.

Great, great movie. I have soundtrack songs on phone and love when they play through Bluetooth.

IMO, style wise Drive is more influenced by the films of Michael Mann and Jean-Pierre Melville than it is by Walter Hill.
