2) Heat
3) Public Enemies

The_Basterd · 06-17-2010, 11:16 PM

Collateral is freaking awesome!!!! I love that movie.

In my opinion, Miami Vice is one of the worst movies of all time.

Holmes · 06-17-2010, 11:16 PM

A fantastic director. He tells interesting stories and has a unique, precise style.

UPDATED IN 2013:

1. Heat
2. Manhunter
3. Miami Vice
4. The Insider
5. Collateral

Miami Vice could've used some better editing. A good movie, but I don't think its one of his best work.

Holmes · 06-17-2010, 11:25 PM

It may not be his tightest or "smartest" film, to be sure, but I love its..."vibe." Loose, sexy, unusual. It is just a movie I adore and always enjoy watching.

Monolithium · 06-17-2010, 11:34 PM

The Insider
Heat

His best film and my favorite is Heat. Last of the Mohicans is a very solid film, as is Collateral. Thief, Manhunter, and Miami Vice are decent enough. Haven't seen Ali in its entirety. The Insider is his second best film and is extremely underrated.

If you think that's one of the worst of all-time, I envy you're movie watching.

It was one of the most dreadful movie theater experiences of my life. SO BORING. NO ACTION..... OMG...

Oh God, the "so boring, no -action-" complaint.

Michael Bay's success explained.

Sagacious Koreo · 06-18-2010, 01:20 AM

My order would be:
1. Heat
2. Collateral
3. The Insider
4. Last of the Mohicans
5. Thief

HEAT is a monster epic of untouchable magnificence. If it didn't exist, I would have gone with COLLATERAL. And I'm with The Basterd--MIAMI VICE was excrutiating.

..... I hated Transformers 2 with a passion and I hate most of Michael Bay's other films too.

Don't give me the Michael Bay excuse....

I just hated Miami Vice. It was long, unfocused, and boring. The pacing was terrible. I felt like the entire film had no emotion. The actors had no chemistry. The script was horrid.

The movie was all style, no substance. My friend who saw it with me hated it. Even the star of the film Colin Farrell hated it. It just bored me to death.

I don't even remember the plot, since I haven't seen it since theaters since it's release, but it obviously didn't keep my attention. Come to think of it, did it even have a plot? I came out of theater in such a dreadful mood over the movie I just saw.

The films was just plain atrocious. If I ever had to see the film again, I'd probably shoot myself. This is one of the worst films I have ever had the pleasure of seeing and believe me, I have seen some terrible films in my lifetime.

Collateral over Heat. Heat's a great movie, don't get me wrong. But it's one of the 'great movies' I almost never re-watch because its pace is so slow.
