11 of Director Ben Wheatley's Favorite Movies5 of 12
Miami Vice
I really like what Michael Mann did with the digital look of this film, which looks much better in the cinema. And I love it for the sound design of the shootout towards the end of the movie, which sounded like nothing I'd ever heard before. The sound design and digital photography created an incredibly harrowing and intimate feeling – when they're crouching during the firing with glass breaking from the windows, you can feel it. And any film that has someone take a speedboat to Cuba just to have a drink is a five-star movie in my book.
