Great crime films, but i have to lean towards the Departed.

It's Heat for me, though The Departed is phenomenal.

No pun intended, but HEAT left me cold. It lacks focus and the "cops and robbers" theme feels very tied, unlike THE DEPARTED, which somehow feels fresh.

Heat is one of my all time favorite, so got to go with Heat

Heat. Without a doubt. This is Mann's masterpiece as was Goodfellas isScorsese's. Departed was fun and a slight improvement on Infernal Affairs, would of probably like it a lot more if he waited a few more years before remaking it.

I had a long comment worked up but accidentally clicked away and lost so... Heat.

Heat is way more epic and just a better film in general

Although Heat in some scenes get a little boring, i prefer it. Heat for the win.

Heat was... missing something. The way the guns are handled is pretty novel, although at the end of the day I don't watch movies to see things done realistically. Otherwise it just felt kinda empty and formulaic. The Departed is okayish.

25 and 26 on my list. I just rewatched both of them in the last week and I would have to say that I slightly prefer The Departed.
