  Ryan's stoic sigma male personality added another take.

  This film isn't spoken about much but I've always had a very high regard for it. I'm glad to find someone else who enjoys it do such a thorough analysis of it. Looking at your channel I can see you've covered a lot of great films. You've got yourself a new subscriber.

  Such an underrated/ overlooked classic in my opinion. I’m 29 so I’m trying to find these little gems from the 70s specifically, so when I came across this one on Letterboxd I decided to give it a shot. Instantly fell in love with the film. I want to say Nicolas Winding Refn was trying to pay homage to this one with Drive. I just can’t see how he wasn’t inspired by it.<br><br>Edit: Love your channel and everything you do for us film nerds and aspiring artists. Thank you.

  I&apos;m still trying to understand why you don&apos;t have a million subscribers. Just discovered your work searching for an analysis on Hill&apos;s &quot;The Driver&quot; and I&apos;m amazed with your great work. You surely love movies, Aaron! Thank you for the videos.

  Yes, there were first-person driving games in pinball/video arcades in &apos;78.

  If it was only style over substance I wouldn&apos;t think about it often as I do. &nbsp;I always wanted to know what came between Driver and Player after the end. &nbsp;And to Bruce Dern&apos;s character.
