So, without further ado, here are thirteen rip-roaring recommendations for fans of The Fast and The Furious. These streaming selections mostly reflect the tone and narrative of the 2001 film, with just enough explosive action to appease fans of the franchise’s more bombastic tendencies. In honor of the film’s 20th anniversary, we’re going to reflect on the place it all started.
But on its own, the film is an entertaining tale of cops and robbers made memorable by its colorful characters and gleefully machismo indulgence. Indeed, the first entry in this franchise, the one that has launched a thousand sportscars and eight sequels, can sometimes be overshadowed by its flashy followups. A romantic subplot with Dom’s sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) and a hell of a lot of chrome and oil later, Brian’s mission falls to the wayside in favor of his developing friendship.

The film’s well-oiled heroes have battled everything from amnesia to submarines and collected a crew of supporting players to round out the literal and proverbial family. Over the last two decades, The Fast and Furious franchise has (pretty much) done it all.
