damn, I didn't expect to see this. Guy was a great character actor. Anyone who works with Michael Mann a bunch and is part of the masterpiece Midnight Run deserves my respect. Rest in peace.

Manhunter is/was one of my alltime faves
that was what got me into Mann, (well other than Vice etc....). But I remember getting into Manhunter around junior high, rewinding that finale over and over. I still love that movie, just perfect atmosphere. Atmosphere is probably my favorite element of a movie, too bad most modern movies suck at it. Red Dragon was such typical Ratner . Brody DD whatever troll you are using, they got the Manhunter soundtrack on youtube, you should check it out.

Farina will be missed, but I didn't realize his death was covered in another thread.
I've had that soundtrack saved on Spotify for a couple months now. The ending scene w/ Iron Butterfly playing is perfect. Noonan was a much scarier Tooth Fairy than Fiennes, imo
Fiennes is a great actor but he didn't work for me in that movie. Red Dragon was so lifeless, like everything Ratner gets his grubby hands on, it's paint by numbers imo. Edward Norton is a good actor but he also was miscast, he couldn't capture the swag of William ing Peterson in that movie. Noonan was terrifying as , he really seemed like a lonely dude with sick ass delusions of grandeur. Brian Cox was also so subtle and creepy in it. and to the point of the thread, Farina was money per par.
...i just went on youtube and a lot of those Manhunter songs were taken off. lol, they were up there for a long ass time. fortunately I downloaded a couple, but hopefully someone posts some more. I've never heard of spotify, i'll probably go check it out now if I can't find those songs.
RIP. He was great.
Yeah, you need to be online for spotify, but as long as you are you can save streamed playlists. 4 best songs from that sdtk:
The Prime Movers - Strong As I Am
Shriekback - This Big Hush (my fav tbh)
Red 7 - Heartbeat
Iron Butterfly - Inagaddadavida
good choices. different from mine
1)Evaporation-Shriekback
2)Coelacanth-Shriekback
3)Graham's Theme-Michael Rubini
4)Inagaddadavida
Damn rights, HI. A very underrated motion picture. I love how his attorney begs him not to go to the Airport, but, Farina's character is heavily vested and personally so. Makes perfect sense. & DeNiro (actor) is wise enough to allow Farina (his character) the dominant stance, the public and stark advantage implied and shown throughout until he (Farina character) is busted and thrown against the counter and it all goes to in an instant like a truck tire going completely flat. It's an incredible sequence driven by the talent of Farina (actor) as DeNiro (actor and character) backs away and lets him succeed. And even though we're against Farina (character) there, it's difficult to bear witness his ruination, it's difficult to look. That's film. That's talent.
GD, HI with the grand prompt.

I think it's Farina's best overall work, he's ruthless and hilarious in that movie. I don't think there is a false note throughout that movie, especially in terms of the cast. Marty Brest made a genius decision to cast Charles Grodin over Robin Williams. It's also one of Danny Elfman's most soulful and moving soundtracks.
RIP Cousin Avi
Ya'll have posted his best stuff already. I liked his very small role in Saving Private Ryan too when he gives Hanks the assignment.
Good actors can take 5 lines of dialogue and really make it work.
R.I.P Farina
