UPDATED Mon Sep 1 2008 21:58:08 Is L.A. Confidential a film noir?

The winners (written by anynmous IMDB reporteroid 2000) 1. L.A. Confidential 2. Boogie Nights 3. Jackie Brown 4. Boyz N The Hood 5. Beverly Hills Cop 6. The Player 7. Clueless 8. Repo Man 9. Collateral 10. The Big Lebowski I have to say I think this list could be widdled down to three or four of the above candites. Two of them wouldn't be on it and Boyz...

L.A. Confidential has clocked in at number 1 as the best film about L.A. "It's my bid for immortality."-Tony Jay

In my opinion, the movie would have felt more complete if Bud had died as a result of the last bullet he took after stabbing Dudley. Extreme zealotry in punishing abusers of woman was the central theme of his character. In my mind, after battering Lynn in a jealous rage, he would have lost all respect for himself, having become what he most despised. Therefore, as he and Edmund ...

...is the Dark Knight rated higher on imdb then this masterpiece? At least L.A. Confidential is rated higher on rottentomatoes. For once those critics got it right.

He didn't want Smith to be "Rollo Tomassi" who always gets away with everything. Yet by agreeing to turn a blind eye to the public, he let ...

Actually only one: 1. Sleeping with your boyfriend's arch nemesis is never "helping".

...that Kim Basinger did not deserve the oscar? don't get me wrong, this isa great movie, but compared to the other actors, i felt basinger was feeble. All she did for me was look hot and act seductive. is that what it takes to get an Oscar? I personally felt Minnie Driver in Good Will Hunting or the old lady in Titanic to be far better than her.
