i dont know any movies before the 80's really, so i know theres a lot of great films that i've never seen that some would consider the best of all time, but as far as the last 20 or 30 years i think my favorite movie is easily "Heat" with robert deniro, al pacino, val kilmer, and many others....every time i see this movie i'm amazed at how much every scene means to the rest of the movie...there is not a single scene that is irrelevant and extraneous, and the acting is just beautiful...the shootout scene is amazing (and based on a true story as well,) and i really cant find a single thing about this movie that i dont like...definitely some of pacino's and deniro's finest acting to say the least, their chemistry was incredible...idk, i love this movie...

any others?
