From Confessions to Apocalypse Now, these are Michael Mann's favorite movies.
Michael Mann is of course best known for his directorial work, as since the early 1980s, he's made some of the most acclaimed crime/action/neo-noir movies of all time. He's the sort of filmmaker where even a misfire usually proves interesting and more than watchable, and then when he's at his best, he makes undeniable classics .
9 'Biutiful' Alejandro González Iñárritu's most well-known films include the likes of The Revenant, Birdman, and Amores Perros, but if you ask Michael Mann, the underrated Biutiful might well be the Mexican filmmaker's best work. It was released just a few years after Javier Bardem won an Oscar for No Country for Old Men, but he plays a very different character here in a very different kind of movie.
But beyond its historical significance, Battleship Potemkin is also an interesting historical war/drama movie, with it predominantly revolving around a mutiny in the Russian Navy during 1905 and the events that followed. It's the most well-known film directed by Sergei Eisenstein, but he made other compelling political/war films that are also worth watching for fans of cinema's early decades, including 1925's Strike and 1938's Alexander Nevsky.
It's a movie that gets a good deal of mileage out of keeping the viewer on their toes, and forcing them to be as suspicious and paranoid as the central character is. Couple the tense story with fantastically atmospheric visuals and strong performances from Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas, and you've got an overall great example of film noir with Out of the Past.
4 'Raging Bull' Though Martin Scorsese's made his fair share of crime movies, and is only one year older than Michael Mann , his cinematic output is relatively different from Mann's. Still, they've both made a boxing movie, for what that's worth. Mann directed 2001's Ali, and Scorsese made Raging Bull in 1980, which happens to be one of Mann's top 10 favorite films.
2 'Citizen Kane' It's hard to discuss notable 1940s movies without bringing up Citizen Kane. In fact, many people would say that this 1941 film is worth discussing any time a discussion revolves around the greatest movies of all time, full-stop. At least when it comes to the Sight & Sound Poll Michael Mann voted for, Citizen Kane has been voted #1 most frequently, holding that position for five polls in a row .
