My Favorite Films from Nicolas Winding Refn (In Order)

by jacoblikesstuff • Created 9 years ago • Modified 4 years ago
These are my favorite films from Director Nicolas Winding Refn, listed in order from Best to Worst. Please keep in mind that this is my personal opinion, and I'm sure that your opinion will vary.

Aside from Drive, which is my favorite film of his, I literally like all of his movies the same. It is very hard to put these movies in chronological order for me, since I like them all equally, and for different reasons. But I'll give it my best shot!

    The most insane 83 minutes ever put to film. This is the story of the worst rock band ever and their rise to fame. The Jerkbeast is the most creatively foul-mouthed bastard ever put on film. This story follows the development of the band "Steaming Wolf Penis" and their adventures on the road. Action, intrigue, violence, necrophilia? Sounds like the ingredients to a winner...
