LTTP: Heat (the 1995 film)
- Thread starter Pharaun
- Start date
One of my favourite 'things to do whilst ill/on a massive destress' is watch Heat, Collateral and Miami Vice in a row. I really need to see Thief.
Influenced a bunch of real life robberies and heists too! Amazing movie and I liked the sequel book too.
I want my tombstone to say "Got killed walking his doggie" whether it's true or not.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does have a long standing tradition of being up their own ass when it comes to identifying movies with lasting appeal.
Iirc he delivered the take Mann wanted and then asked if he could do a crazy one. It was something they were doing a lot, but it blindsided Hank Azaria.
Under the Silver Lake.
Collateral for sure especially LA at night.
Jackie Brown really captures the South Bay area too.
Killing of a Chinese Bookie and The Long Goodbye if you want 70s LA vibes. To Live and Die in LA for 80s LA vibes.
My first visit to LA I saw Tarantino filming Jackie Brown in LAX, when I eventually saw it I was like 'now that movie actually feels like the LA I just visited'

Thief is great, as others have said. Manhunter is also enjoyable. I still haven't seen Collateral or Miami Vice but I'm aware of my foolishness Era. I will fix it.
I remember buying the DVD when it came out. It gave my modest audio system quite a workout back then. I need to do a rewatch with my current setup.
Everyone keeps talking about the sound of the gunshots (which is amazing indeed), but what always impresses me about the movie is how seriously it takes the weapons overall. You can tell that these actors got drilled to death in how to handle their guns. The way Val Kilmer reloads his rifle is pure perfection. This heightened the movie a lot for me back when I first saw it due to serving in the army around the same time and recognizing how realistically portrayed it was.
Last saw heat a looong time ago, very much enjoyed it.
This is perfect for the discussions about dumping a whole series on streaming at once vs drip feeding.
