2. Manhunter
3. The Insider
4. Heat

Funny... just about an hour ago (when AAAutin posted his list) I was thinking "I should really watch The Insider", but Mohicans has pretty much flown under my radar.  I'll consider it.

3. Collateral
4. Heat

This seems strange to me. Have you rewatched this or did you always like it more than Heat?

1. Miami Vice

Switcheroo! (Why?)

Miami Vice made my Top 100 last year, Mohicans did not.

3. Collateral
4. Heat

This is a switch too.  I rewatched Heat a year or two ago, but haven't seen Collateral since its release.

I don't know that there's any particular reason, this is just where the films are fitting in my memory right now.
