10 Amazing Films That Get Better The More You Think About Them

10. Drive

Drive is, to put it frankly, too cool for school.

When an unnamed, lonely stunt/getaway driver gets involved in the lives of his new neighbors, Irene and her son Benicio, he finds his solitary life turned upside down after the husband is released from prison. As it turns out, he is in some serious debt to some seriously bad men, forcing Driver to risk everything to protect the only two people in the world who ever made him feel human.

The film is so much more than the crime flick it presents itself as. It is just as much a love story, if not more so, than one about the criminal underworld. Driver and Irene's relationship is the beating heart of the movie, with the narrative ultimately only moving forward through his unconditional love for Irene and his desire to do whatever it takes to keep her and her child safe.

Drive is first and foremost a film about lengths some of us will go to take care of those we love, even it means giving up everything we've ever wanted. Underneath all the hyper-stylized ultra-violence resides a story as old as time, one of love, passion, and pizza.
