[@wanderingbob]

Heat is a fine, fine movie, look forward to reading the book... I never dreamed that I would love the Insider but I absolutely did, it had an emotional heart way beyond the fairly bland premise. (A big part was probably Lisa Gerrard providing the score, around the same time as Gladiator. On a further side note, the fact that Crowe played Wigand just before he played Maximus was also an astonishing transformation)

[@jokermann01]

@@AmazingChinaToday Interesting, The Insider is my favorite of his movies. I found Thief, Manhunter, Ali, and Blackhat all boring but that's just me.

The fact he hasn't won an Oscar is criminal

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

He knows his medium so well. In his movies, there are scenes that are breathtaking to behold, action scenes that are visceral and grounded in the plot, and logical, engaging storytelling. He has many masterpieces, but Last of the Mohicans is remarkable. It seems to have been summoned forth by magic.

[@leeford1214]

I was reading your post and first movie came to m of his was last of the Mohicans. U got good taste

[@colleenpowell462]

Michael Mann is brilliant. Thief (1981), Manhunter (1986).

Last of the Mohicans was pretty damn good too.

[@archlich4489]

Manhunter is SO rich in atmosphere. The soundtrack alone is amazing.

Don't forget about the original show LA Takedown that is the original Heat that came out in1989. If you haven't seen it check it out it's on KZbin. It has all the original characters by names and the same dialogue

[@angelaholmes8888]

[@fayseldifficile5618]

Michael Mann is truly an underrated director/producer.

[@jasonloveswatchingmovies7002]

Collateral was the first movie that I watched and knew the director named Michael Mann and after that I found Heat and watched it still love both films. The Last Of Mohicans is another masterpiece from his and also Public Enemies is underrated film.

[@MrD3000]

Public Enemies wasn't that great. Mann himself isn't particularly fond of that one, either.

[@hirolla74]

One of my favorite directors. His vis on film is amazing when using HD cameras a la Roger Deakins. Two favorite films of his, Collateral and Miami Vice. The night scenes are amazing with so much detail according to the commentary. The fight scene in Collateral was insane. Also, loved Manhunter with the younger William Peterson in the role. You can almost taste a hint of tv Miami Vice in that film. There are certain directors you watch their films because of how well they are (Ridley Scott, Denis Villeneavue??), Mann is one of them.

[@neilsingh5923]

Then there is 'Public Enemies' (2009) with Depp portraying John Dillinger. The shoot out at the cabin during night time.

[@Bertaut]

Miami Vice is criminally underrated. It was the culmination of so many of his thematic and aesthetic preoccupations.

[@threerings1345]

I wasn't expecting much from Heat 2, but what an extraordinary piece of work it turned out to be. There are many subplots in seperate timeframes that can be a little difficult to keep straight, but Mann's vivid storytelling and the depth of his characterizations far surpasses any minor structural confusion.

[@keithmichael112]

I love heat, but I don't think I've ever thought to myself that this movie needs a sequel. it's a complete thought on its own.

[@mojohal879]

Maybe a prequel of how the mcauley crew got together & there early crimes.

[@ArnoSchmidt70]

The problem of today: Huge loads od money are only available for prequels, sequels and superhero films.

The movie will be a prequel. But the novel he is coming out with will start seven days after the heist. That's what I read in one of his interviews.

[@keithmichael112]

@@alexanderreyes1081 I kinda misspoke, I meant it doesn't need to be elaborated on. the whole movie was about al Pacinos character defeating his shadow self, you don't really need any more info

[@theoppenheimerprojects2867]

The book is absolutely fabulous. I get the hesitation, but let me say it does not disappoint. It brings so much life to the characters and their stories. Mann details the characters origins with a fine tooth comb. Some of the chapters have you feeling like your back at the LA street shootout. Definitely worth it. Chris and Charlene have a beautiful origin story.

[@mrnimbus5397]

It’s absolutely one of the best films ever made and one of my favorites. But Pacino was better in The Godfather films, Dog Day Afternoon, and Scarface.

That's tough, I would put Heat as Deniros 2nd best after Taxi Driver and Pacino's 3rd best after Scarface and The Godfather part 2 but I've no problem with someone putting Heat at the top. What a masterpiece and no movie released after 2000 comes close to Heat.

[@sopranosfan11]

Love Michael Mann's work, especially Heat, Collateral, The Insider, Last of The Mohicans. I'm annoyed with Seth Doane's questioning Mann if he feels any responsibility about violence in America because he makes violent movies. It's just such a cheap shot, cliché question for film directors. Mann answered it perfectly by citing the fact that his style of filmmaking is not gratuitous at all. Mann is probably one of the most responsible, thoroughly researched filmmakers out there. This is well known. He doesn't do things for cheap effect. It's deliberately done with integrity because his style is to portray realism and authenticity. It's so lame when interviewers seem to want to provoke drama or elicit guilt in their subjects to sell their interview even if it's blatantly unwarranted. You might as well ask a Director if they feel responsible for all the corruption in the world because their films have a lot of corrupt characters. Lol. It's ridiculous.

[@HabAnagarek]

Yeah, a very hackneyed question. But he gave a great response.

[@sopranosfan11]

@@HabAnagarek Agreed!

[@CeejayFilmsFanspinePictures]

It is very annoying. I remember the rumors that this movie may have influenced the 1997 North Hollywood Bank Robbery/Shootout and other movies like Reservoir Dogs, Leon The Professional, etc were in the media's crosshairs

if you haven't seen Michael Mann's 'The Insider', you get to see a great movie... it's my favorite of his. (One other thing about Michael Mann's films, no body does machine gun and explosion sounds like this guy!! When you hear those machine guns go off in the theater for Heat, Public Enemy, Miami Vice, and Black Hat, it sounds like the guns/explosions are in the theater!! Alway catch Michael Mann movies in a theater with great sound.. and of course the biggest screen it's playing on.)

"Collateral" is definitely another one of Mann's that's worth seeing in the theaters!!👉🔥

You guys still have THE BEST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS in my humble opinion yet many AMERICANS claim that the US’s Education standards have dropped. How is that possible or should I say why do many Americans say that...?? If you were to witness the squalid system of Education in my country,I firmly believe that you’d appreciate your country’s Education very much. I just wish to be educated by you on this matter coz as I’ve mentioned above I really don’t see how you guys over in the US can complain that much,perhaps I don’t understand since I’m looking from outside.
