neutral · AI labelView post →i was saying to my wife that even the much-lauded horniness of CHALLENGERS pales in comparison to something like BODY HEAT, a movie where kathleen turner literally leads william hurt away to a bathtub with his dick.
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie also came out in 1995 further solidifying my belief that 1995 was the best year for movies ever. This is such a movie movie. It's not a film it's a movie and it rules. Toy Story, Seven, Heat, Goldeneye, Usual Suspects, Clueless, Crimson Tide, Showgirls, To Die For! So many movies. MOVIES!
neutral · AI labelView post →DEAD HEAT! It's like a movie people would make up to mock 80s movies. Is it any good? No. Is it entertaining? Treat Williams plays a cop called Roger Mortis who whilst investigating a series of crimes by seemingly unkillable crooks, gets zombified himself, and this happens...

neutral · AI labelView post →I have a completely false memory of their being a 90s anime adaptation of the Michael Mann film Heat. I have had this memory since the film came out. Promo shot was imposing anime Val Kilmer with an assault rifle surrounded by fire and rippling air. We can still honor him with this anime.

neutral · AI labelView post →This was obviously a joke folks, we all know the 80s had one great movie. Dead Heat.
neutral · AI labelView post →HEAT was released 29 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great crime thrillers of the 1990s, and the film that brought Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on screen together, the making of story will walk out on you in 30 seconds flat… 1/46
neutral · AI labelView post →there's a video game adaption of the film "Red Heat" on the Amiga, and actor Jim Belushi briefs you between levels. however, they only bothered animating his lower jaw. it looks like those Jib Jab flash cartoons from the early 00's

positive · AI labelView post →What is Jake interested in? Jake is interested in HEAT, and he's not talking about scheduling a viewing of Michael Mann's epic crime movie, he's talking about getting a tight grip of the nearest red hot radiator and toasting his little bones on top of it. Jake needs heat, he needs heat to live.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't recommend watching if you haven't seen Heat yet (the end of the vid is the end of the film), but this is great
positive · AI labelView post →The opening heist in Heat is better than most action flicks and it's not even the best sequence in the movie. And Michael Mann using a palette heavy on blues throughout the movie to give notoriously sunny LA a cold vibe is 🤌🤌🤌
positive · AI labelView post →i rewatched the movie "In the Heat of the Night" yesterday. I have now moved it up to my top five movies of all time joining movies like Casablanca, The Godfather, The Maltese Falcon, etc. Heat has such great acting, script, and music score.

neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about how Michael Mann’s transition from film to digital reflected his evolving thematic interests. Here, two similar types of shot. In “Heat”, on film, the city blurs into a sea of lights in the background. In “Miami Vice”, on digital, objects miles away remain clearly defined.
