Speed Racer (2008)
"Was that a ninja? More like a non -ja - terrible what passes for a ninja these days!" A movie that sped right past movie theaters upon release but has gained a following upon its second lap, The Wachowski's Speed Racer is a visual fever dream that fits into the cartoon-come-to-life aesthetics of our genre.
