1.Only God Forgives (2013) - 7/10 (within my Top 187 movies) 2.Drive (2011) (see NOTE below) 3.The Neon Demon (2015) - 6-6.5/10 (within my Top 236 movies) 4.Valhalla Rising (2009) - 5/10 (Thumbs Down) 5.Bronson (2008)
but personally... I think Only God Forgives (which I have seen three times so far) got over-dissed because it came after Drive as I think after Drive everyone expected the world of it and when it did not deliver, everyone turned on it as there is no way that's a 5.7/10 average rating as I suspect it would be a easy low 6's MINIMUM (ill guess about 6.6-7.1) had it not come after Drive.
NOTE: Drive used to be a 9/10+ at it's peak (after my 4th viewing it was at that status(maybe a bit before)) and was my #1 movie of the decade until a re-watch on Sep 16th 2013, which was my 5th viewing of it. but I think Drive is likely my most re-watched movie that's been released in the current decade so far as I have seen it seven times in total with the most recent being Sep 16th 2015 and at that point it went from a 7.5-8/10 to it's current 7/10. my current #1 movie of the decade is between... The American (2010)/Source Code (2011)/Skyfall (2012) (all three are 9/10's).
also, I seen Drive opening day in the theaters at the first showing in my area because I just knew it was going to stand out given the small footage from the movie released prior to it's theater release. in fact, I have not been to the theaters since 2011 as Drive/In Time, both seen opening day at the first showing in my area, are the most recent times I have been to the theaters.
come to think of it... ill probably see the Pusher series soon.

Would highly recommend his Pusher trilogy (esp if you don't mind subtitles!)
1. Drive 10/10 2. Bronson 8.5/10 3. Valhalla Rising 8/10 4. Pusher 8/10 5. Pusher 2 7.5/10 6. Only God Forgives 7.5/10 7. Pusher 3 7/10 8. The Neon Demon 6/10
Overall, I really really dig Refn as a director. His films are so "different" than what these other directors are shoveling out these days. I consider Drive to be a masterpiece.
Can't wait for his Amazon Prime show/mini series called Too Old to Die Young . Sounds interesting

Sounds interesting Will keep an eye out for the Pusher trilogy, non English language films certainly aren’t an issue. I'm a big fan of visual style and he's certainly got it. Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon remind me of Lynch’s dark urban surrealism and saturated color palette coupled with Kubrick’s cold clinical detachment and formal rigor while Valhalla Rising comes off like an ultra-violent trippy psychedelic take on Malick or Tarkovsky’s dreamy poetics.
