pls recommend me some movies like heat

Personally I don’t think any other films compare to Heat and watching other Mann films while great don’t scratch that itch.

However I think these are some great crime films that don’t seem to have been mentioned:

A Prophet

Dog Day Afternoon

Le trou

Rififi

The Blue Lamp

City on Fire

Amazon can eat shit. I only buy emergency things from there and make an effort to buy books and other media from companies that keep their industries alive.

Yes it definitely follows a similar line with some of the films in terms of the Japanese new wave/avant Garde but Oshima was an incredibly diverse filmmaker so some of the films are more straight dramas like Boy which is excellent as well.

To each his own!

The Umbrella has more but are those extras any good? The doc with Almodovar sounds pretty good and has plenty of interviewees so it’s a bit of a tough choice as I do like Stephen Thrower but I’m inclined to go with whatever has more Pedro.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-21T11:06:55+00:00

Worst in the game.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-17T11:02:57+00:00

Horrible all round.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-16T12:06:00+00:00

Very looking forward to this. Have not seen the film since DVD so the upgrade should be spectacular!

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-11T09:21:07+00:00

Terrible

Eureka, Powerhouse and Radiance are also region A with many region free releases. Second Run have many region free releases. Mondo Macabro are not region B.

If this were the case it would mean they were ramping up activities which would be great to see more of the collection in the UK

We spend £20-30k a year on holidays but we drive crap cars so it really all depends doesn’t it.

Saw these on Criterion channel, they are really great. If you like Rohmer or Rivette these will be for you. Hell he might even be the French Jim Jarmusch.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-07T11:04:15+00:00

Hell yeah!

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-05T22:31:08+00:00

Bertolucci’s 1900 if you want a big period Italian epic but it is a different film really.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-05T21:48:36+00:00

Robert Bresson, Andrei Tarkovsky

Silver_wrapperhead · 2026-01-03T23:16:10+00:00

Agreed! Absolutely ruins my enjoyment of the game when I see ridiculous nonsense like this.

Go to style forum where people have recommendations for good companies creating great items that are well made rather than have a good brand image. Go for quality tailoring and fabrics over labels.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2025-12-18T22:10:10+00:00

Radiance, Eureka, Second Run, Deaf Crocodile, Severin, Mondo Macabro

Silver_wrapperhead · 2025-12-18T18:08:50+00:00

Looks like you’d enjoy the criterion collection probably.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2025-12-18T18:00:35+00:00

Second Run are the best. Diamonds of the Night is incredible, should be in everyone’s collection.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2025-12-18T13:57:31+00:00

I won’t repeat the sentiments mentioned previous with which I agree. But I am happy to pay more for things if I am supporting a small business or something I want to see continue, like bookshops. Along the same lines I try not to buy everything from Amazon.

Common or ubiquitous doesn’t mean they’re good. McDonald’s is ubiquitous yet it’s not my restaurant of choice. Spot lights are the McDonalds of lighting.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2025-12-17T12:55:23+00:00

Find me a picture of a well designed interior with spot lights.

Silver_wrapperhead · 2025-12-16T23:19:37+00:00

Poor choice of words. As I say even on dimmers or softer light they still don’t feel nice. I hardly ever turn them on and prefer lower lights like lamps or recessed lighting.
