Phenomenal movie all around...one of Michael Mann's best. And I agree, A. This is Tangerine Dream's best soundtrack.

Good film, haven't seen it in a long time though but recall James Caan was very cool in this role.

I've got this next in line to be sent from my online rental service,never seen it but it does look and sound pretty awesome,remember seeing the big box vhs/beta warner video in my local video shop back in the days under its alternative title of violent streets.

Watched it for the first time a couple of years ago with my brother and he and I were blown away, awesome movie for all the reasons listed above. James Caan's best role, better than the Godfather in my opinion. It was because of this movie and To Live and Die in L.A that I went back and revisted Manhunter and found it to be better that Silence of the Lambs.

Tangerine Dream was on fire in the 80's, this was good but I have to say their best in my opinion was Firestarter, great soundtrack. Which one is better in your guy's opinions? Which is best Tangerine Dream soundtrack, don't forget Sorcerer.

Well, if you count the 1989 360° movie Destination Berlin, i would say that one.
I like Sorcerer very much, moody 70s stuff and fits for the excellent film nicely.
Thief of course and Firestarter is a great one and another favorite. I also love Miracle Mile (cool and frantic end of the world feel) and Flashpoint (damn, i want to see this one again. i own the soundtrack on lp).
I also remember that Wavelength and Heartbreakers had cool tunes. I need to check out the movies again.

I like all the Tangerine Dream soundtracks. In addition to all those mentioned so far, The Soldier is excellent too.

Yeah, The Soldier is another good one. I need to check out that one (and few other Ken Wahl flicks) again sometime soon.
Dutch, Destination Berlin is a documentary film about Berlin, made with a 360 degree camera.
Wavelength is an atmospheric sci-fi film set in an underground military facility.
Heartbreakers is a fun sex dramedy. I´m going to watch it again one of these days and give more comments.
Miracle Mile is a semi-classic end of the world romantic action thriller you should get asap!

It all sounds good, what about Soilder I assume its not the one with Kurt Russell. I don't think Tangerine Dream did that one.
What about Legend? Is that a good one as well or what? I own both Tangerine Dream and Jerry Goldsmith's orginal and have to say Tangerine Dream's is better even though Goldsmith is great.

The Soldier is the 1982 Ken Wahl film written and directed by B-movie specialist James Glickenhaus. I would echo aTomiK on Wavelength, sadly underrated sci-fi, and the amazing Miracle Mile, a fantastic doomsday film.
I actually saw Legend in the West End of London in its original version. Both soundtracks, Tangerine Dream and Goldsmith, are wondeful.

Legend is ok but not one of my favorites. I have the R1 SE dvd which includes both versions.
