This article made me think of the above discussion.... I hadn’t heard of a number of the movies mentioned.

I love this movie so much. Recently watched Heat which is also a force. But where Heat has some towering moments, LA hits the peak at the start and never lets up.

I saw a 35mm print of this recently and the Wang Chung soundtrack is surprisingly abrasive in spots, I was really struck how in a sequence like the airport chase it was just pounding drum machine clatter.
LA is definitely hot orange, room-temp Michelob, cocaine sweating
Heat is cool blue, Lexapro come-down, cocaine sweating

Yeah my film-induced-narcoleptic wife kept waking up whenever the sound track would kick in just to ask me to turn it down. It definitely comes in hard. Going to be rolling some Wang Chung in the background this next week, stunning soundtrack
