Given the opportunity to make a top or a list of films is always something I jump on head first. Since Mann is the Director of the month at the LAMB I’ve decided to make a little late contribution of my own. This is a modest top since of the 10 films directed by Michael Mann, I’ve only seen 4. But, you know there’s always a but, it will be a great pretext to catch the six omissions listed below. As always comments are welcomed and I encourage you to make your own top and recommend me one of the films I haven’t seen from Mann.
1. Heat (1995)
2. Public Enemies (2009)
3. Miami Vice (2006)
4. Collateral (2004)
I still need to see Ali, The Insider, The Last of The Mohicans, Manhunter, The Keep, and Thief.
I would recommend Thief because that is quintessential Mann, and secondly The Last of The Mohicans for the epicness.
ReplyDeleteThanx BT! I will check those soon!
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend The Last Of The Mohicans too, it always leaves me with a lump in my throat.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of Heat, I watched it twice in the cinema when it was released and Miami Vice was my favourite tv series, so you could say that Michael Mann has a had a big impact on my life!
Thanx Paul! Heat is a great film and it ages really well! The Last Of The Mohicans never interested me much but I guess since everybody recommend it to me I'll have to catch it sometime!
