I really gotta see The Insider.

I'm about half and half on Mann. I love Thief and Last of the Mohicans, but don't really care for Heat or Manhunter. Collateral was decent, Ali was a bunch of great performances in search of a movie.

Even at his worst, he has a very strong voice, which is admirable. I think he's one of those guys where I almost prefer the stuff he influenced to the stuff he did himself, though.

It's definitely not a good film but I really like The Keep. I'm kind of annoyed it's so difficult to find as I'd love to give it another watch.

it's up on Amazon Prime right now, pops up on Netflix on occasion too. maybe this thread will finally inspire me to give it a watch.

I watched the Insider for the first time yesterday and it was brilliant, as much as I love Thief and Last of the Mohicans this is almost certainly his best movie.

Christopher Plummer is excellent in that.

he really disappears into the role to the point where you almost forget it's not actually Mike Wallace. similar to David Straithairn in Good Night and Good Luck (except in that case, y'know, Edward R. Murrow was long dead)

This thread has persuaded me to rewatch Heat. Outside of the bank robbery shootout, I never particularly liked this movie, but it's been 10+ years so let's see how I feel now. Watching The Insider for the first time and rewatching L.A. Confidential reminded me that Dante Spinotti is a god.

I actually ended up disliking it just as much as I did the first time, if not more so. I'm gonna do a big write up when I have the time.
