What is your favorite Michael Mann film?
 
There's probably too many Michael Mann films to make a poll out of this, so I'm going to ask the question:
What is your favorite Michael Mann film?

My personal favorite: The Last of the Mohicans. Excellent performances, great scenery, intense battle sequences, much better romance than Star Wars, and an epic musical score.

Michael Mann didnt direct The Aviator, which is better than all.

He means "didn't direct" - he also didn't direct Texas Killing Fields. :)

Hm!

Between HEAT and Last Of The Mohicans...............Ill say Heat. Pacino & DeNiro together being used properly. Maybe the last great performance either did.

Of what I've seen:

1. Miami Vice
2. Blackhat
3. Public Enemies
4. Manhunter
5. Heat
6. Collateral
7. Thief

All of these are pretty good with the top 3 all being some of the best from the past decade

I saw a clip a few months ago and the romantic part looked very good – but then it usually is with Mann. I liked it in Heat in particular.

My favourite's probably Manhunter; and, I also like The Keep, despite its many problems.

Just checked out his IMDB page and I have to admit I haven't seen a lot of his work, but from what I've seen, Collateral would definitely be my favorite. I also have to give a shout out to The Insider abd the TV movie The Jericho Mile. And I can't leave here without mentioning that Miami Vice was a big ol' mess.

It wasn't the best, but kudos for getting Gong Li :love:.

Manhunter is the best.

Great question! My personal favourite Director.

The following have legendary status for me;

Thief
Manhunter
Last of the Mohicans
The Insider
Heat

If I had to pick one I think I have to go for The Insider.

Even just behind those are some truly great films

Collateral
Ali (don't get the hate, fantastic film)
Public Enemies

Everything else he has done is a bit forgettable after that. Black Hat such a disappointment, what a ****ing mess,
