Gosling, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Ron Pearlman and Carey Mulligan. Every one of them is pitch perfect.

Exactly what I've open in my you tube tab while I type this!

Until my soundtrack CD arrives.

After many years of virtually no movement on my "Top Movies" list, "Drive" came out of (almost) nowhere (for me) and snatched the very top spot position on first viewing at the theatre back in last autumn.

Since then I've become seriously addicted to the soundtrack, which I happen to listen to yet again as I'm typing this, and i can't wait to revisit it together with some friends during our next movie marathon.

Too bad the Scandinavian disc is barebones, but it lokks great.

I absolutely loved it, it would have been number one on my list of top 10 films last year but i didn't see it till jan. I reviewed it on my website where i compared Gosling's character to the kind of character McQueen, Marvin and Bronson would play.

Even before seeing the film, I saw someone's post on facebook with a link to the song Real Hero on youtube. As soon as I heard it and watched the trailer, I knew I had to see the film.

I watched this tonight (on a double bill with HORRIBLE BOSSES) and it was good, though not as good as it's been made out to be. The slo-mo irritated me a little. It does have the best shotgun blast to the head I've ever seen and the soundtrack is excellent.

Superb soundtrack.I wish they'd do a remix album of the soundtrack,there's some classy variations on Real Hero and Nightcall......

Check this one out which Will Young recently plundered.....







and this of A real Hero.......

Anyone else caught this modern classic recently?

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

That nightcall you posted is terrible. Sounds weird so fast. Better with this one.

There's also this little ditty from the film.
