looking for films similiar to To live and die in LA - these vintage kinda-cheesy-kinda-dark films
I have already seen Sorcerer (great) and Cruising (horrible)
Watch Miami Blues. Stars alec baldwin as an ex con running around Miami impersonating a cop. Funny and dark.
also what films are essential petersencore?
Haven't seen To Live and Die in LA
What's it like? I can't tell if it's Chinatown or something Michael Mann
Killing of a Chinese Bookie

its a mix of cheesy 80s movie with french connection in terms of style
Manhunter and thief are essential manncore and you should check them out

Petersen hasn't made many movies. Manhunter is what you should also watch.

Try White Sands it also stars Willem Dafoe or Willen Dafoe according to the To live and die in LA poster.

I wish someone had told me how generically 80s it was before I saw it.
has anyone seen black rain and year of the dragon? opinions?
>>63128319
black rain is quintessentially late 80s, really gorgeous at times, bubble economy osaka feels like an excuse for ridley to shoot more blade runner without the science fiction budget, ken takakura is wasted but it's awesome seeing him

To Live and Die in LA
Manhunter
Fear
12 Angry Men (TV remake)
The Beast
The first, what, 4 seasons of CSI? Those were all right.
His one scene from Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
... that's pretty much it. He's great, but he hasn't done much to showcase it.
