Agreed. 'Manhunter', much better than later films.

It goes a bit winky wonky toward the end, mind you, with some OTT slo-mo crashing through patio doors for no particularly fab reason, and screaming Tangerine Dream synth badness
 Pekkie 13 Jan 2014
In reply to Blue Straggler:

Not perfect but better than the later films? It was Iron Butterfly not Tangerine Dream. The point was that the killer was playing it - that it was to his taste.

In reply to Choss:

Tom Baker as Dr. Who
Sean Connery as James Bond
Christopher Lee as Dracula

Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, but Johnny Lee Miller in Elementary is excellent and far better than any other Sherlock, as a show, but slightly different, so not a clear comparison.

You are correct on all points, thank you

"God's terrific! He dropped a church roof on 34 of his worshippers in Texas last Wednesday night, just as they were groveling through a hymn to his majesty. Don't you think that felt good?"
