So far this year has been great for wallowing in my much cherished 80's nostalgia.
In many ways.
Getting the kids hooked on retro gaming was easy and very emotional.
Chuck-e-cheeses, drive ins, coin ops, c64, garbage pail kids, the rock steady crew, tenson, mad graf on the brain, kenner toys, etc. etc. ad infinitum.
Like many of us, I lived it and fucking loved it and heartily applaud the graphics on these Drive ost related anoraak joints I've been coming across.
Plaese to add on.

This one is great.
"How about this one?"
"Italian trash... besides, I only steal Porsches."
Actually this is a bit of a cult movie. Highly rated in certain circles - especially the car chase is lauded as one of the most epic car chases commited to celluloid. Friedkin is a great director imo.

I was admiring how much 80s-ness was packed into this album cover the other night.
I always associate "Remo Williams" with "To Live and Die in L.A."... I guess since they were released the same year.
Yeah, it was a clip of the car chase that hooked me in the first place, and it's since become the car chase by which all others are measured for me. There was a weak attempt at a knock-off in a recent flick, the name of which escapes me now. There's so much more to like about it, though. For instance, it wasn't unusual to see arrogant, corrupt cops depicted in the movies, but for them to be portrayed as hopelessly incompetent fuck-ups into the bargain...that wasn't quite so common.
Dafoe's especially good, and completely plausible as someone smart enough to stay several steps ahead of the cops, yet cold-ass enough to critique someone's taste in ethnographic art before whacking them.
Shout-out to William L. Petersen too, who was also in Manhunter around the same time, a flick which probably more readily fits your "pink offset with electric blue and teh sunsetsy orange" criteria. Pretty cool "moody DX7 presets" soundtrack as well.
