I think Drive is a lot like a Cronenberg flick. How it builds slowly and cooly until bursts of ultraviolence.
I so agree, that film is incredible... if Nolan made that exact movie today it would probably make $200 million, for sure a lost classic.

alright, you bastards. I've heard of Tangerine Dream. It's been brought up a lot lately now in this thread. Now..via some research I see they did the theatrical music for Legend (I've never seen it though I do want to at some point) Where do I start in my research of Tangerine Dream? Cuz I want to know finally wtf you fools are babbling on about.

Start with their brilliant soundtrack for William Friedkin's Sorcerer. If you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. This is one of the most underrated 70's action suspense films. Tangerine Dream's work on this film is breathtaking. You really can't go wrong with any of their work from the 70's. They've done quality work for 40+ years now, but that's where you start.

Because Universal is cheap? I was hoping for a 30th anniversary edition back in 2007, but it never materialized. I still firmly believe Sorcerer to be Friedkin's best film.
As for Drive, saw it last weekend and loved it. Intend to see it again before it's out of theaters. Definitely one to experience on the big screen to get the full feel for it's atmosphere. The dreamy photography reminded me a lot of Mulholland Dr.

I'm curious...was this movie on the quiet side? The showing I went to seemed unusually quiet, but at some points the bass of the music started to rumble things a bit.

Seemed fine to me. Tell me. Did you jump at the 1st gun shot too?

I didn't jump at the 1st gunshot, but I thought the movie was loud enough.
Reminded me of Mulholland Drive in terms of atmosphere and sound use. I dug the movie a lot, very moody, well paced and entertaining. Ending was a bit anticlimatic though.

It was quiet. There were some scenes without music nor dialogue only ambient sounds. It was annoying hearing other people talking in those scenes.

In general, I thought the movie was pretty good, but it's not something I'd call best of 2011 and I doubt I'll revisit the film. The movie definitely leaves you with a cold feeling. I think part of that reason for me is because I couldn't get attached to any of the characters, so I wasn't too affected by their outcome. I think Cranston's character is about the only one that you can pull for.
The opening was terrific, but after that, I wasn't really blown away with anything else.

By the way, I think this week may be your last chance to see this movie theatrically. Will get scarce next week.

seen today and so far my favorite or 2nd favorite of the year. Terrific film.
Now I understand why Refn won Best Director at Cannes.

The first gunshot made me jump big time. It was really loud at the theater I was at.
I agree with your take on that scene btw. It was one of those things, where I feel the Driver just felt had to be done.

Did the soundtrack release get pushed back? Amazon now says Oct. 11, everywhere else still has it listed for tomorrow. Can anyone confirm if it is still being released tomorrow or in October?
And obviously I'm asking about the physical cd, I am aware the digital download has been available for some time.

I saw this and I really enjoyed this movie. The soundtrack is really great. Definitely one of my favorite film of 2011.
I jumped at that first gunshot too. I rarely do that.
I can't wait to get this on Blu-ray.

It reminded me of when Michael Mann was Michael Mann.
Loved it.

This is new school Michael Mann. I feel this movie is a tad overrated. I really liked it but not the best thing I've seen all year. I'm still evaluating that list.

Really good film, it definitely carries its own feeling like very few films do. It probably has been mentioned before but it kinda reminds me of "Taxi Driver".

Re: Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn 2011) (Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Ron Perlman, etc
Definitely reminded me of Taxi Driver. I like how Albert Brooks was in both playing polar opposite characters.
