5 Films That Feel Like a Late-Night Drive

Windows down, city lights blurring past, no destination. These five films capture the hypnotic, slightly dangerous energy of driving alone after midnight.

Drive

2011 Nicolas Winding Refn

The obvious pick, but it earned its spot.

Collateral

2004 Michael Mann

Michael Mann shot Los Angeles on digital video for the first time, and the city has never looked like this before or since.

Nightcrawler

2014 Dan Gilroy

Shout! Factory Amazon Channel Amazon Video Apple TV Store YouTube

Jake Gyllenhaal lost 30 pounds to play Lou Bloom, a sociopath who films crime scenes and sells the footage to local news.

Lost in Translation

2003 Sofia Coppola

Amazon Video Apple TV Store Google Play Movies

Not a driving film, but a wandering-through-Tokyo-at-3-AM film, which hits the same frequency.

Thief

1981 Michael Mann

Michael Mann's debut.
