Heat (1995)

Another Classic. De Niro is amazing. :thumbsup:
8/10


For sure the best Heist film. I'm a francophille to the bone but Rififi and Melville can shove it, Heat wins.

Feel free to name heist films that you feel are better than Heat!

I just don't like the "for sure", but in your mind I guess it's far and away the best so that's fine... maybe I just wanted to pick a fight.

You told Melville to shove it, but Le Cercle Rouge is probably the best that I've seen. I'd also put The Killing above Heat.

And when I google "best heist films", Bonnie and Clyde shows up in some lists. I don't know if I would consider that a true "heist film", but if you do then that is #1 for me.

Melville I consider a great technical director but his films pack no emotional punch, they're all style. He has memorable scenes but no memorable characters that's why Heat wins in my book.

You take something like Le Samourai, it's a very, very impressive film that I'll definitely watch again but at the end of the day it's about a guy who's only memorable characteristic is his hat. Not exactly shakespeare-tier writing.

Jungle book (2016)
6/10 mainly based on graphics

Poor casting imho

Spoiler:
Not sure why some animals could talk and others couldnt. Especially the elephants. Would love to have seen more of them with a bit of the humor from the original.
Seems like they tried to be very different than original

The Conjuring 2

Just started watching it lol, looks like they've combined insidious/conjuring! should be rather good

Obviously going to based on a true story like it claims lol
Hm they kind of are though at least the first one, assuming you believe the people involved ^^

^yeah thought it was pretty good considering the source material and what it was trying to do, at least 7/10
weren't the elephants like gods or something, too important to talk
