I’m again imploring you to give Aguirre, the Wrath of God a shot. This movie released nearly 55 years ago. But it still holds up so damn well. That’s because Werner Herzog is a visionary: nothing can get in this man’s way. This movie is a miracle. You should see it immediately.
Michael Mann on The Wild Bunch (1969):
"The Wild Bunch: no other picture captures the poignancy of ‘the last of’, a fin de siècle sense of the west, of ageing, of the pathos of twilight."
— "Michael Mann’s 10 Favorite Films" (The Film Stage, 2018)

Terribly sad about Tom Noonan passing. In casting Manhunter I auditioned about 10-15 actors in New York when Tom walked in the door and said, “I don’t want to talk. I just want to read.” He read and it was magical. We worked closely. I based Dollarhyde less on the novel’s character and more on a convicted killer whom I met and with whom I corresponded who was doing life in Vacaville. I took Tom into that world and he made it his own. It was an automatic to cast Tom in a wheelchair as Kelso in Heat. He did so much more fine work, but it was as the battered child become a killer adult - both alive in the same bottle - that projected the range and deep soul of this so acute and committed artist. Rest in peace, Tom.
Heat released in theaters 30 years ago today. In other words, 30 years ago, the world changed. This film changed cinema. If you think that statement is hyperbolic, you’re wrong. An unquestionable masterpiece & a defining film of the ‘90s. This is cinema of the highest order.
