    Watched Primal Fear tonight thanks to Netflix recs. Richard Gere is awesome. Edward Norton makes an awesome debut.

    8/10, would recommend.

    Seen that movie 10x. Amazed you hadn't seen before.
    It has a nice re-watchable aspect to it.

    First time and it may be recency bias but it’s one of my favorite reads ever. Read it in 3 nights and stayed up late to do so

    Watching HEAT for the first time in 15 years. It still holds up pretty well. But as far as Mann's films go I believe Manhunter and Collateral are his best.

    One thing that always sticks out to me about Heat is it has the best sound mixing for guns of any movie I’ve seen.

    After seeing a runtime of 2 hours 50 min after watching Heat-Celtics, I opted against it.

    Watched Seinfeld reruns instead, t'was a good choice.

    I think people on this board only hold Heat in such regard, or discuss it at all, is because it's obsessed over on The Ringer. I think outside of that sphere, it is a largely forgotten movie.

    I watched it for the first time a month ago and it's fine, nothing special. Probably twice as long as it should have been and badly needed to be edited. I can only attribute the outsized amount of discussion it gets to The Ringer.

    Leon The Professional is vastly superior and far less bloated. Also far better use of GOAT Portman!

    I see The Pale Blue Eye had a $72 million budget and I'm guessing most of that simply went to get Bale and Duvall on board

    I think this is valid, but you can't ignore how much it gets cribbed. The acting and dialogue is incredible though, but it is far too long and I think it isn't as profound as people want it to be.

    I love heat and never visit The Ringer. I think Heat's probably a top 10 movie for me....crime noir movies are my favorite genre (NCFOM favorite movie)

    Heat's a LA movie through and through. And the LA underworld is a super cool environment to immerse yourself in, especially when seen through the actions of Pacino/De Niro/Kilmer/etc

    While true, people have only been discussing it ad nauseum in like the past 3 years. You see it everywhere now.

    Also I don't believe that number even puts it in the top 50 grossing movies of the 90s

    I just got around to watching it recently and it’s great. I remember watching it in bits and pieces but never just straight through. I actually bought it but now it’s on netflix. It’s incredible how realistic they made everything.

    I've never watched Heat and felt like it was too long. I can't really think of any scenes that felt unnecessary either.
