i can see girls love it. its really made an impression on the girl in the movie.

I really didn't like drive but I've only seen it once. Felt very flashy and mannered, too much for me. I did think the opening chase scene shot only inside the car was pretty interesting, but as soon as the girl and her daughter come on the scene it becomes very predictable and his character less interesting.

Much preferred the place beyond the pines, but that was worse the 2nd time I watched it. It relies on that bollywood esque 25 years later surprise element.

Place Beyond the Pines was on the other day, in many ways it feels as though it was the springboard for other films.

For one thing Gosling's emotionally paralysed rider was a prototype for his character in Drive, but also the Australian guy - he is used to play a very similar role in Killing Them Softly (unless that came first) and Gosling has him as the creepy estate agent (or is he the lender?) in Lost River and in my head that is cos they became friends on the set of APBTB.
