@ichabodcrane2487 So true. I've been obsessed with it for decades. So haunting, and such a great thriller. Mickey Rourke's performance is out of this world. I bought the VHS. Every time I see it, it creeps me out. The one other movie that is also haunting and based on a true story is Flowers of Hope with Christian Bale. It haunts me to this day.

@@debbieelicksen I rented the movie from a video store in 1988. After I saw it, I was so impressed that I had no words. The whole Faust-detective-blues thing from Parker with Rourke in his undoubtedly best role is just magical and still haunts me to this day. Not to mention the supernatural soundtrack and the best ending in movie history. Later I had the pleasure of watching The Shining with Nicholson and found it to be the second great horror thriller after Angel Heart. The ballroom scene is simply divine and the ending is brilliant. Then of course there are Rosemary's Baby and The Ninth Gate, which are also fantastic and also have the devil as a protagonist. Anyway, the eighties were a great decade for movies, not least because of Rourke's 9 1/2 Weeks, The Pope of Greenwich Village and The Year of the Dragon, to name just a few. We were spoiled with real movie art, which unfortunately no longer exists today.

Mickey Rouke c. 1984 to 1990 was a major talking point in the late 80s world wide, a major celebrity and a true eccentric movie star. To say many women found the rogue Actor " attractive " was an understatement ! They never stopped talking about the handsome actor and his sauve as Hell on screen presence. To men ; he represented the goal of success, fame and the might of Hollywood stars. In hindsight ~ perhaps ~ now he represented our power of our Freedom of Choice and he admits his own inflated ego and sudden rise to huge international fame was simply overwhelming at times . # He was a true' Johnny Favourite' in so many weird ways to so many. His body of acting work is outstanding and original. Angel Heart is a cinematic journey into our darker fate and the process of self - realisation. .....Are we Really who we THINK we are ?? Sometimes not ! Di Niro is a sly , very knowing dark - eyed smirk away from total thespian perfection.......😈

De Niro didn’t like Rourke improvising so much and he told the director to tell Rourke to stop. He also refused to speak to Rourke off camera because he felt it was better for the scenes between them to remain distant. Rourke got offended by that. Apparently De Niro also told Scorsese not to cast Rourke in the Irishman due to their alleged feud. However, Rourke praised De Niro at the time and said he enjoyed working with him and learned a lot. In my opinion, I think De Niro felt threatened by a slightly younger actor with the potential to be even better than him and he tried to shut Rourke down. De Niro has been silent about this publicly which makes me think it’s true.
