Baby Driver
— This one would be worth it for the music alone since the main character, Baby, always has earbuds and an iPod with a playlist going, but that’s just part of it. To enjoy it, I think you have to embrace plenty of clichés and smile as you see them pass before you. It’s fueled by high-speed chases, whacked out robbers, and a young driver who’s what I imagine his contemporaries think of as "cool as a cucumber." Of course, Baby’s a good boy in a bad situation and you have to love him. Oh, and did I mention it’s a love story too? Best line, and this pretty much says it, “Sometimes all I want to do is head west on 20 in a car I can't afford with a plan I don't have—just me, my music, and the road.” Don’t we all?
[2017. 112 min. Written and directed by Edgar Wright. Starring Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez, Micah Howard, Lily James, Kevin Spacey, and Jamie Foxx.]
