Natalie Portman with Leon the Professional and then Heat was a pretty strong debut.

Two of my favorites. Pretty incredible she did both of those before she was 14 years old.

That movie is amazing, but a lot of people only watch it to complaint about the movie's relationship

Yeah, but that's the thing, if you judge a movie by its director's personal opinion, movies like Usual Suspects, Annie Hall or American beauty should be considered the same way, but a director's personal view or acts shouldn't change the quality of a movie, Clint Eastwood is a great director, not so much a great human being, I like the Prince of BelAir, Will Smith not so much right now

For me, it’s often difficult to separate art from the artist. Because the art is usually a reflection of the artist in some form.

Heat has aged so well. It’s my favorite movie ever.

Me too. I saw it at the cinema when it first came out and have watched it at least once every couple of years since. A masterpiece.

It’s one of the few films I would call perfect. It really has no flaws. The movie completely absorbs you into its LA neon world. I can even just have it on in the background because I love the atmosphere so much. Michael Mann is a genius. Can’t wait for Heat 2. He better not cast Timothee Chalamat as Vincent Hannah. The dude has zero testosterone. Pacino was an absolute boss from the moment he takes you through the triple homicide crime scene all coke out lol.
