Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) is the music-soaked rom-com you can watch online on iFILM. Heartbroken Nick keeps burning mix CDs for the ex who dumped him, and she keeps tossing them straight in the trash.

Her friend Norah fishes those mixes out and plays them on repeat, sharing Nick's taste long before they ever meet. One awkward night at a Lower East Side club, she blurts out a request — be her boyfriend for five minutes — and the two end up chasing across the city after her missing, very drunk friend Caroline. Michael Cera and Kat Dennings play it low-key, all half-smiles and stumbling honesty instead of big speeches.

Director Peter Sollett treats after-hours Manhattan and a stack of indie-band setlists as characters in their own right. If you go for quiet romances driven by a great soundtrack rather than grand gestures, this hits the spot. Stream Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) online on iFILM.
