Heat (1995)
The single greatest bank heist film ever made.
As well as being the greatest bank robbery movie of all time, this movie is also the greatest movie I have ever seen. There are other movies I have seen that are equal to this in greatness (some examples are Tombstone, The Godfather, Unforgiven, Saving Private Ryan, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and many more) but if pressed, I might have to declare this movie to be the single greatest movie ever created.
This is the story of a team of hard core tough as nails bank robbers headed by Robert Deniro's character. The other members of the team consists of Val Kilmer, Danny Trejo, and Tom Sizemore. It doesn't get any better than that. What a coup by casting director Bonnie Timmermann. This group is "managed" by Jon Voight, an all around criminal mastermind genius/fence. The team is also joined by a random additional bad guy when the job requires more men to pull it off. On the flip side of the coin is the good guys pursuing the bank robbers. Led by Al Pacino, the cops also include numerous fantastic actors. You will recognize these world class character actors instantly. All this acting talent drives the story along with you the viewer feeling amazingly entertained. There are numerous subplots occurring that fit into the main plot smoothly and these subplots add a good deal of interest and suspense to your viewing experience.
Slap on your seat belt and and hold on tight because as you are sitting on the edge of your seat and white knuckling it through this movie, you're going to understand early on that this movie is unbelievably great. Enjoy.

Beautifully written and acted tale of a man-child becoming a father
This is the touching story of a hard living wannabe rock star rapidly approaching middle age and his 13 year old daughter, who he didn't even know existed, showing up while he and his rock group are touring. I found this movie to be very good with an excellent sound track. Many of the songs are performed live and filmed as they are sung and played. I love this movie and if you like to feel tremendous emotions that make you cry this movie is for you. I love when movies reach down into my soul and pull and tug until I am forced to submit to what I'm feeling and I just burst out with sobs. If you are a father of a daughter you will understand what I'm expressing. If you don't have kids, you might not feel much on an emotional level but you most likely will enjoy the high quality acting performances that are captured and also the beautiful songs that you will hear.
