For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Drive, it’s a movie where the cinematography told more of a story than the dialogue between the characters. The dialogue does matter, sure, but we’re shown the story as opposed to being told the story.
If you need proof, the first scene is one of the best vehicle chases ever. Plus, the elevator scene gives me chills every time.
As far as “film” goes, Drive is also my favorite for the very same reasons. Even the simple placement of bright colors like the Tide bottles at the convenience store…
But that elevator scene takes the cake for me. Prior to that point things were kind of slow and melancholy. I think Irene’s reaction to the brutality of the Driver mirrors that of the audience. I love this movie.
I feel like the pacing helps amplify the tense moments. Almost like the calm Irene brings becomes the norm, until the diner where we see that flash of what Driver is hiding behind his quiet demeanor.
