What did I miss personally from this movie to make me go back and retrace my steps and discover what is so interesting about it?
Good idea for a thread Vanilla.

It's just an extremely tastefully made film that strikes a perfect balance of low-key and over-the-top. The story and characters are all fairly simple, with the exception being the mysterious and unpredictable Driver, but the movie is made with so much style that it's irresistable. Everything from the catchy soundtrack to the shocking, sudden gore to the adrenaline-pumping car chases make it a joy to watch. It also has the benefit of being so comparable to other movies (Taxi Driver and Blue Velvet immediately come to mind).
