16) Heat
Michael Mann's Heat is a crime thriller that sets the standard for urban storytelling, as seen in Nolan's The Dark Knight. Its realistic presentation of heists, cityscapes, and action-packed shootouts set the tone for Nolan's vision of an action sequence as one of spectacle and realism. Heat is increasingly identified as a landmark crime film and a landmark influence in modern cinema's approach to character-based narratives within the action genre.
