Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)
Directed by Peter Sollett
"This is basically a love song with a totally misleading title."
One night in New York City, two heartbroken teens, a stolen car, and the best indie soundtrack of 2008. This movie made everyone want to date a guy in a band who makes mixtapes and drives around looking for secret shows at 3am.
Michael Cera's bass-playing heartbroken boy energy meets Kat Dennings' witty-but-wounded girl energy. Pure chemistry. The kind of movie that makes you want to go to NYC at midnight just to see what happens.
essential tracks:
We Are Scientists - "After Hours"
Bishop Allen - "Middle Management"
