Bullitt (1968) and The Peanuts Movie (2015)

I really enjoyed Bullitt, with Steve McQueen playing the title role, who is cool and slick. 

I like the way the blogger at Just Hit Play describes the movie:

It is a smart, stylish cop drama/thriller that gets better with each viewing. For starters, it was filmed in San Francisco, setting the stage for Dirty Harry, McQ and a whole cop genre to move into the city. It is an ideal backdrop for the story; a polished, good-looking city that is nonetheless hiding secrets. The score from Lalo Schifrin is a good mix of quiet, soothing jazz and faster-paced, more traditional yet still exciting musical cues. The style in an almost documentary-like fashion reflects some of the French crime thrillers that I’ve really come to appreciate, giving ‘Bullitt’ a different edge more than just the same old, same old cops and robbers story.

What was really interesting is that in one scene, a hospital is shown, and a Peanuts calendar is on the wall. It was really interesting to see that Snoopy and the Peanuts comics were already a cultural landmark back in 1968.

Incidentally, I also did see  The Peanuts Movie (2015), a brand-new computer animated iteration, and I really liked it; it wasn't bad. It wasn't the best movie ever but it captured the feeling of the original television and film characters. It's really a different kind of animation than the South Park or Family Guy series.
