Happy birthday to Michael Mann, the cinematic mastermind who taught us that nothing says "happy birthday" quite like a tense diner conversation between Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in "Heat." Your films have given us unforgettable moments—whether it's Tom Cruise's chillingly precise villainy in "Collateral," or the stylish intensity of William Petersen tracking down Hannibal Lecter in "Manhunter."Here's wishing you another year filled with sleek cinematography, gripping storytelling, and characters so cool they make sunglasses at night seem perfectly reasonable. May your celebrations be as thrilling as your iconic heist scenes—but hopefully less dangerous!
