Dog Day Afternoon 1975
Neurotic and out of its own control, yet heartfelt and sincere. Dog Day Afternoon delivers every facet of its narrative in such an unpredictable manner that you can’t help but laugh at the characters as they fumble around and fuck it all up. Whipping your bolt action rifle out of a ribboned present box, standing on chairs so you can reach the security cameras, sliding across the bank room floor just gives you a lurching sensation of “holy shit they’re…

Good Time 2017
“I think something very important is happening and it's deeply connected to my purpose.”

Thief is a concealed story about individualism and self preservation. Micheal Mann’s directorial debut immediately establishes his style which I feel any audience could connect to instantly. The synth wave soundtrack and blurry blue lights along the city skyline highlight the silhouette of…

Heat 1995
“I am never going back.”
Heat excels in every aspect of what it means go be a great drama and action movie. Heat delivers a thrilling narrative of a cat and mouse game filled with nonstop action supported by arguably the two greatest actors of all time. Unlike most action movies, Heat gives both of its protagonists and side characters a level of depth while still pushing the story forward at an exciting speed. Every scene is carefully put together…

Full Metal Jacket 1987
The duality of man, dehumanization, the effects of war, great cinematography and chilling scenes. Full Metal Jacket is in my mind a perfect war film.
