Favorite Scene in the movie "Heat"

[Brangus]

At least from a comic relief aspect:




In the director commentary, Michael Mann noted that Al Pacino ad-libbed the line "Because she's got a... GREAT ASS!" and Hank Azaria's look of exasperated shock was totally genuine.

overrated movie

When one of the dudes watching De Niro's crew makes the slightest sound from inside the crate and they show De Niro turn toward it framed with the infrared or heat monitor. Then he calls off the job and the team just bails.

 

[Ayo]

I mean, c'mon.

Yep

The ending. That movie was a big disappointment considering the star power involved. 10 minutes at a diner table couldn't salvage it.

Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer laying waste to downtown LA.

anything involving President Palmer

The heck are you people talking about? That's a great flick.

Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer laying waste to downtown LA.

More specifically, a split second before he starts shooting, Val Kilmer makes the most devilish looking smile directly into the camera.

Also De Niro giving his "We are not interested in your money; your money is insured by the federal government" line during the robbery.

The heck are you people talking about? That's a great flick.

It suffers from the same thing all Michael Mann movies have since Thief-- it's overlong and almost overbearing on the atmospherics. That stuff was great for an hour long show like Miami Vice or Crime Story, but it's hard to pull off in a feature film. He still makes good films, but they're tough to watch in one sitting.

I unabashedly love Heat.

Everything about it.

Favorite scene has to be the shootout downtown. How could it not be?

But also love:
When McCauley kills Van Sant... "Where's Waingro?" "How the fuck should I know?"

Pretty much everything Pacino does in the movie is just great.

Probably could've cut the Natalie Portman.

Probably could've cut the Natalie Portman.

You shut your god damn mouth!

So much this.

Shuttup, George Mason... SIDDOWN

 

[Brangus]

I'm stunned anyone would dislike this movie. Any guy, anyway. To each their own.

It's one of the best surround sound movies with the shootout scene. I played it in surround sound in my parents family room...they have the theater style with the speakers in the 12 foot ceilings of the family room...it's fantastic cranked up.

 

[dartsndeacs]

I don't think anyone dislikes it, just it feels like it should have been epic and wasn't

 

[Brangus]

I mean, c'mon.

This scene was not rehearsed, to make it more spontaneous. They just sat down and did the scene cold off the script. Worked great.

I've never even seen it. Tried to watch it two or three times and never got more than about 20 minutes into it before I bailed and did something else.
