This week on Twitter I asked for both new book recommendations and for people to name two cop/criminal movies that were as good as or better than Heat. [I wasn’t implying Heat was the best movie ever, though it is quite good. I was just looking for opinions.] As a thank you (and to make it easier for me to save what you said), I’ve collected your wisdom here for all to read. This is what you guys came up with.
