An image of Drive on Blu-rayHold on tight because this week, we’re giving you the chance to take home a copy of the slick and stylish movie, Drive, on Blu-ray Disc.

Winner of Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival last year, Nicolas Winding Refn’s controversial masterpiece stars Ryan Gosling as a getaway driver who can’t help falling in love with his beautiful neighbour Irene, played by Carey Mulligan. After a heist, intended to pay off Irene’s husband’s protection money, spins unpredictably out of control, Gosling finds himself fighting for the girl he loves, pursued by a syndicate of deadly criminals.

As usual with Blu-ray Monday, you have two chances to win. For your first entry hit the tweet button at the top of this post. Then for a second entry, leave a comment on this post in response to the following question:

Who would be your ideal getaway driver and what car would you want them to use? James Bond and Jason Bourne have driven themselves out of many a sticky situation thanks to Minis, Audis and Aston Martins. Would you choose to take a risk with one of them? Tom Cruise showed his credentials in Days of Thunder and Vin Diesel took drag racing to the next level in Fast & Furious, so would you be tempted to rely on one of them if your freedom depended on it? Surely Batman behind the wheel of the Batmobile or Batpod would take some catching too? Or maybe you’d like to accompany a car in an out-of-this-world creation such as Bumblebee from Transformers or Lightning McQueen from Pixar’s Cars. Whatever your answer, we’d love to read it!

To make it easier for us to contact you, leave your Twitter details with your comment.  We look forward to your suggestions!

    I suspect Chitty Chitty Bang Bang would come in quite handy. Yes it’s pretty slow but think of the benefits. No petrol? No problem! Just wind it up! Also, traffic scuppering your escape? Hit the fly button! And regardless of any situation, you get to sing the song. Brilliant.

    Having seen Drive, I’d definitely want Ryan Gosling’s character as my getaway driver. Although I’d make his car Bumblebee from Transformers.

  19. Brian Callar says:

    Think I’d go with Nic Cage given his driving skills in Drive Angry although perhaps would use his Ghost Rider charger as a getaway vehicle. No one would get in the way of that!!

  20. Jack Martin says:

    Marty McFly and the Delorean. What better way to escape than through time? @jackamartin

  21. Christopher Jones says:

    I would like Jona Hill to be my getaway driver and the car to be driving is a toyota Prius, I bet it would be quite funny, plus its good for the enviroment.

  22. marc says:

    Batman and his Batmobile :-) @claysdaddy

  25. Hilda Wright says:

    My son would be my ideal getaway driver using his fancy car, I have no idea what it is as he changes cars like I change underwear…but its got the snazzy wheels, exhaust and sound system and with him behind the wheel would get me anywhere fast, but I’d have to change my underwear again on arrival no doubt.

  26. Steven says:

    Christopher Walken in the “Death-proof” Car. @Naive_Steve

    Yeah, I’d go with James Bond and the Aston Martin (not the newfangled vehicles in the more recent movies.)

  33. Anita says:

    I would want Popeye Doyle from “The French Connection” in the 1971 Pontiac LeMans. Gene Hackman as Popeye was able to maneuver the streets of NYC in that car & I’d be happy with him behind the wheel.

    • Christa says:

      I think Luke Skywalker in the landspeeder would be pretty nifty. He’d use the force and we’d go to the cantina for a celebratory drink up!

  38. Gwenda Fox says:

    Hello, I’m @Pinkfox56 and my my ideal getaway driver would be Gerard Butler in the Delta 88, from Bounty Hunter, all the way down Route 66!

  39. Scott ferguson says:

    Marty McFly in the DeLorean! Escape to anywhere (or should that be anywhen) in time. Guaranteed get away!! @scottevil

  40. Robert says:

    The Transporter in a Ford GT. @treborwilde

    @MandyRaeGraham

    Bradley Cooper – Red Porsche. mmmmm

  42. DAniel J says:

    Stuntman Mike from Death Proof driving Benny The Cab(a cartoon car from Who Framed Roger Rabbit). It’s a twisted combination if I ever did see one!

  43. Laura Royal says:

    I would want Jason Bourne to be my getaway driver

  44. Tadd Good says:

    For my getaway driver, I’d want Stuntman Mike from Death Proof. I’d get away, but I’d probably die in the process. @taddgood

  45. Mike Keating says:

    Tough call on the car but after consideration it has to be the Delorean. No hesitation in who my getaway driver is…Senna!

  46. e scott says:

    Batman behind the wheel of kitt ;) @escottcomps

  47. Lucy Zelazowski says:

    Dot Cotton from Eastenders… Driving as Monster truck! Just for laughs! ;)

  48. Alan Mackulin says:

    Ryan Gosling in a Ferrari. @amack10

  49. moviefan says:

    Clint Eastwood in his Gran Torino. If he can’t drive fast enough, he’d “outgun” them anyway.

    @unwitterer

  50. Yvonne Brownsea says:

    I’d trust Liam Neeson to get me out of a sticky situation – his driving skills in Taken were second to none and it would have to be in Lightning McQueen because he is quicker than quick! @MySonsSpongeMad

  51. Sam Preston says:

    Not because it’s the film I’m hoping to win, but because of how good a driver he is, I would choose Ryan Gosling in “Drive”. I would rather have him as he would be more intellectual in his ability to get away, he would know all the streets, any events or possibilities that would come in handy, and he wouldn’t attract attention when trying to get away. A cerebral getaway driver.

  52. Donna says:

    Now thats a film i’d like to see :D

  53. Victoria Langley says:

    Any of the vamps from Twilight. With their reflexes they can drive much faster than a human … car .. I don’t know what’s fast so I would leave that up to them! @torialou78

  54. VeridisQuo1 says:

    Jason Bourne on the mini cooper!
    @VeridisQuo1

  55. Sue Robinson says:

    I think that Jean Claude Van Damme would get me away from danger in a lovely Dodge Viper. He is so smooth and the car looks almost as sexy!

  56. jade @girlyougotstyle says:

    Agent 47 from Hitman. Cool, calm, collected and wearing leather gloves. I’d have him drive an old Mini, or something else with very little boot space. . .

  57. kyle sefried says:

    @wnjay23 drive looks awesome..my getaway driver would be bumblebee he could take on anything that got in his way

  58. valdaself says:

    The Winchester Brothers in that black 1967 Chevy Impala, 327, 4-barrel, V-8 engine, automatic, 4-dr, Hardtop

  59. Mike says:

    It’s got to be the Slag Brothers from Wacky Races right? Club attacks, indestructible boulder car, and a Pteranodon as back-up…what more would you need? :)
