- Your favorite Michael Mann film and why.-
I'll have to go with Collateral, it was an intriguing story and casting Cruise as the villian worked well. Also Jamie Foxx showed he could hold is own (and then some) against a big name like Tom Cuise. I've not yet seen "Heat", but I've heard that's a good Mann flick.
Why you want a copy of Miami Vice.
I need to see Miami Vice again; being a fan of the original show; I had a hard time judging it on its own merits when I saw it for the first time in the theatre; the dark, gritty style was quite a bit different from the TV version; I'm looking forward to seeing it again and giving it another chance.

- What remake/adaptation you'd like to see Foxx or Farrell do next.
I know this sounds very strange, but I'd like to see Foxx go back to his comedy roots and do his take on Gomer Pyle. This could be part comedy and part drama (similiar to the style of Forest Gump); perhaps sending Pyle and company to Iraq.
