I watched "Thief" (1981), directed by Michael Mann. Sort of a heist movie, sort of a mob movie, but aspires to be a Cassavetes movie. An interesting mix, and really well shot. Ryan Coogler said this was the film that made "wet-downs" a thing, and judging by all of the wet streets & sidewalks, I believe it.
Features Willie Nelson in a minor role. Also features a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.

Movie still from "Thief". Frank, played by James Cann, walks through his car dealership lot as cars behind him burn in bright flames. Strings of electric lights are above, and the lights are reflected in the bodies of the cars, including Frank's vehicle in the foreground.
