What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Ben Thomas]

Hells yeah. Its got baggage, but its still Mann's best film for me. One of my all-timers.

[Martin]

Heat is also my favorite Mann. Even moreso than The Last of the Mohican, which I adore.

[Abraham Smashington]

My only gripe with the bluray was the center channel was so damn quiet. So all through out the flick I was turning it up and down depending on what was happening. Otherwise, I concur. It really is my favorite Mann flick.

[Abraham Smashington]

Although,. here's a question that Lesley brought up that I never thought about: How in the fuck did Natalie Portman get into the hotel room? And how did she know where he was at?

[BillyG]

I have to say though...Collateral and Miami Vice are really close behind Heat.

[Martin]

Both of these movies are flawed though. Vice more than Collateral, whose ending sucked a bit, but it's Mann. Beside Heat, all his movies are flawed, but Mann manage to make their strengths overpower them. It's quite magical to watch.

And I expected Miami Vice to suck, and it didn't.

[Ed Hocken]

Mann's very best film is The Insider, although the ending of Heat will always get me. The very best use of music to film in my view.

On an unrelated note, I actually drove by the place where they did that armored car heist. I think there still is a car dealership.

[Martin]

Speaking of flawless, I rewatched In Bruges last night.

My favorite of 2008, and still a PERFECT MOVIE.

[Ed Hocken]

That movie also has a damn good ending.

[V]

That movie also has a damn good ending.

Did you see it?

Are you sure it was not 'Ragtime'?

[Ed Hocken]

Yes, I saw In Bruges and no, zombie Jimmy Cagney was not the midget, I checked.

But Mandy Patinkin could have been there. I'll need to check.

[Abraham Smashington]

Although,. here's a question that Lesley brought up that I never thought about: How in the fuck did Natalie Portman get into the hotel room? And how did she know where he was at?

Can anyone answer this?

[Ed Hocken]

My guess is that she got into that room because she said she was his daughter. As to how she knew about it? Probably got it from somewhere. I didn't think it was all that important.

Kids are crafty.

[Abraham Smashington]

Really? You didn't think that scene was important? To me it seemed like they needed to tie up a loose end and did it in a way that made absolutely no fucking sense.

[Martin]

Haven't seen Heat in ages. I'm overdue.

And yeah, In Bruges's ending was haunting. Those last lines...
