Here are some notable cinematic references you may have missed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driven (2001)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watching Sylvester Stallone portray a competitive retired Formula 1 driver already makes <em>Driven<\/em> worth viewing. The film subtly honors Senna through details like the team&#8217;s uniforms and car colors, reminiscent of the most iconic McLaren in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Stallone has expressed deep admiration for Senna: \u201cHe wanted me to tell his life story on film. We talked extensively about it, and once, over the phone, he told me: \u2018You&#8217;re really great; I love your movies,\u2019\u201d recalled Stallone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Driven (2001) Official Trailer - Sylvester Stallone Movie HD\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KgJOc3oqxTM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Terminal (2004)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Tom Hanks&#8217; charismatic foreigner, detained in an airport, regularly bathes in the restroom sinks.
