I re-watched Thief the other night on Kanopy. Terrific film. Michael Mann subsequently used a number of the actors in Crime Story, notably Dennis Farina and John Santucci. Interesting that Farina works for the mob while Santucci is a cop (albeit a dirty one). There's one scene where Santucci and several cops beat up Caan in a room and you can catch a glimpose of a young John Heard (completely un-heard and uncredited).

I must say that Tangerine Dream soundtrack is really annoying. I know some people love it but I find it completely over the top.

Also screened Freebie and The Bean. Alan Arkin and Caan tearing up San Francisco as lunk-headed cops but it's a wonderful silly ride. A bit non-PC but it's the only place you can see the Super Bowl being played at Candlestick Park! Car chases and car crashes extraordinaire.
