1. Last Of The Mohicans - A (Holds up as one of my favorite action/adventure films. Great dialogue, outstanding score and cinematography. The climax on the cliffs that Mann plays almost silently is breathtaking.)
2. Heat - A
3. The Insider - B+
4. Manhunter - B+
5. Ali - B- (Fatal mistake of spending so much time on The Rumble in the Jungle when there was no way he could do a better job than When We Were Kings)
6. Collateral - C+ (Very good, tense character study ruined by final 20 minutes)
Own: 1 (I used to own Mohicans, got rid of it to get the DTS version, only I never got around to buying it. At this point I'll just wait for it on HD format)
Kind of interested in The Keep and Thief.
Yes, Captain Hammer's here, hair blowing in the breeze. The day needs my saving expertise! - Captain Hammer, Corporate Tool
2002 Sight & Sound Challenge: 314 Last Watched: An Autumn Afternoon
Last 10 Films Watched:
Mon Oncle Antoine - B / Late Autumn - A-
Paranoid Park - B / An Autumn Afternoon - A
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - B / Run, Fatboy, Run - B
Get Smart - C- / Rendition - B-
Springtime in a Small Town - B+ / Evan Almighty - C
