If you have Blackhat anywhere near the bottom, especially if you put it after THE KEEP, you need to retire from watching movies.

Lol amazing that my posts from May of last year commented on my obsession with Mann and it seems to have only deepened. About to watch Miami Vice in an empty theater tonight for the 3rd time this year.

Anyone got an opinion of Miami Vice's two cuts? I saw it in the theater but I haven't seen that theatrical cut since.

The theatrical cut is hard to get on blu ray. The standard blu is the "director's" cut. The opening is the main thing that is significantly different it sounds like

I can't imagine this movie w/o the cold open at the nightclub. But it also has more development of Foxx & Harris which would be neat Also rewatched today. 😍

I actually really like the intro to the director's cut but it doesn't have the same bracing impact of the movie just opening in the club. I just ordered a blu of the theatrical though so now I'll be able to do a proper compare. Best fuckin' movie

I really like The Insider, but that's about it. His films leave me so cold. I attempted to make a Mann montage a few years ago and had to bail.

Best fuckin' movie I like the cold opening in the theatrical version, but I think I might actually prefer the leisurely intro of the director's cut with its visual openness and soundtrack, which is sexy af... it's like a sonic bath. Also, it gets me pumped for the excursion to Havana later in the movie, which is sort of transcendent.

Definitely gets you prepped for the greatest scene in cinema that you mentioned.

Updating what I had posted here prior as I've been watching a lot of Mann this year and this summer in particular and I think I've reached the point where I have a pretty comfortable ranking of his stuff ... only haven't seen The Keep and I'm not sure if that'll change:
Heat Miami Vice Collateral The Insider Thief Manhunter Ali Blackhat The Last of the Mohicans Public Enemies
They range from great to best of all-time god-sent masterpiece level so ranking them is almost kind of a silly concept.
Just picked up the Thief Criterion blu-ray yesterday so will be giving it a revisit soon, and Manhunter could probably use one as well as it's been a few years.

but The Keep is definitely worth watching. it’s a mess, sure, but oozing with atmosphere and it’s all very trademark Mann. don’t be a shmole...watch it!

1. Heat 10/10 2. Collateral 9/10 3. The Insider 9/10 4. Thief 8/10 5. The Last of the Mohicans 8/10 6. Public Enemies 7.5/10 7. Miami Vice 6.5/10 8. Manhunter 6.5/10 9. Blackhat 5.5/10 10. Ali 4/10 (mainly because Will Smith is soo absolutely nothing like Ali)
Still not sure if I should see The Keep.

Fav. performances:
1. Pacino/ De Niro - Heat 2. Cruise - Collateral 3. Crowe - Insider 4. Pacino - Insider 5. Foxx - Collateral 6. Caan - Thief 7. DDL - TLOTM 8. Stowe - TLOTM 9. Voight - Ali 10. Judd - Heat
As for his Oscar nods, he should definitely have won for either direction or script of the Insider.
Plus, it's a fucking shame Heat got zero nods.

"There’s a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I got to put you down? Cause no matter what you will not get in my way. We’ve been face to face yea, but I will not hesitate, not for a second. " Poetry, man. Sheer poetry. It's shocking how much Neil and I are so alike. I too don't get attached to anything I'm not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat. It's like he's singing the song I wrote.

If you have Blackhat anywhere near the bottom, especially if you put it after THE KEEP, you need to retire from watching movies. Blackhat may be the 3rd best film of the decade after Spring Breakers and Br2049
