unlabelledView post →SE7EN and HEAT both came out in 1995, and with the exception of L.A. CONFIDENTIAL in 1997, it could be argued that that one-two punch ended the cop film as we know it. Can you think of a better cop movie that came out afterwards? I can’t, not offhand.
unlabelledView post →I am reading L.A. CONFIDENTIAL for the first time and boy the movie is only sort of vaguely like it, huh. Still: flawless casting, very easy to slot all those people into this action, especially Pearce as Exley and GOAT Cromwell

unlabelledView post →Got my copy of the @secondsightfilms.bsky.social 4K release of The Nice Guys, featuring my essay linking Russell Crowe’s character in the film as the spiritual successor of Bud White in L.A. Confidential. Huge thanks to @phillipescott.bsky.social for thinking of me for this one!
unlabelledView post →Dang it, there’s a 50-star flag in the background of “L.A. Confidential” (set in 1953). Perfect-movie status revoked.
unlabelledView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ L.A. Confidential (1990) by James Ellroy was adapted to film in '97. The characters are sanitized as many side stories are deleted. A years long plot is tightened to the Nite Owl murders. The film's charaters are more brutal & the worst crimes left out. 🎬🌴🚨 #filmsky #booksky
unlabelledView post →I righted a wrong and finally watched L.A. Confidential. Flashes of memory told me I must have seen part of it before on TV or somewhere years ago, but I was probably too young to enjoy a noir period-piece. Overall I enjoyed it.
unlabelledView post →That rare hour or so each year where Hollywood focuses its attention exclusively on screenwriters. Curtis Hanson (director, L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys, 8 Mile): “You can dress it up, but it comes down to the fact that a movie is only as good as its script.”
unlabelledView post →OTD 9/19/1997 Curtis Hanson's gorgeously filmed portrait of 50s corruption L.A. CONFIDENTIAL premiered in U.S. cinemas. Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey, & Danny Devito soar in this exemplary modern noir...but Kim Basinger, doing her best Veronica Lake, gets Oscar. Up for 9. #filmsky 📽
unlabelledView post →"L.A. Confidential" is pretty much a perfect movie. I am always amazed, and I never remember the intricacies of the plot so it's fun every watch.

unlabelledView post →#NowWatching L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997). Director: Curtis Hanson. Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce. Wrapping up "Los Angeles corruption" (after CHINATOWN) double feature with this gem. Shamefully, have not rewatched since in theaters! 9 Oscar nods, Kim Basinger won doing her best Veronica Lake. #filmsky 📽
unlabelledView post →Just finished the James Ellroy novel L.A. Confidential and man, they really streamlined the plot for the better in the movie
unlabelledView post →Watching L.A. CONFIDENTIAL in a packed movie theater in Washington DC. There’s a moment in the film when a character reveals he’s not who appears to be by suddenly shooting one of the main characters—and the entire theater collectively gasped and screamed.
unlabelledView post →This L.A. CONFIDENTIAL stuff is messing me up. I love that movie. And I've always thought Spacey's performance in it was outstanding, even after everything. To think he stalked that set going after young, new actors makes my stomach churn. Pearce turned in remarkable work. I feel bad for him.

unlabelledView post →Some of my favorite moviegoing memories involve the journey. I traveled over an hour to see MAGNOLIA, my parents drove us 45 mins to see L.A. CONFIDENTIAL inexplicably at 9:30pm, I bought tickets to a movie in LA once before I made travel arrangements, etc. Tell me a title, & I'll tell you a story
unlabelledView post →This is the idiots we’re up against which is why the strike matters. Netflix turned down a sequel for Oscar-winning film “L.A. Confidential” — with one executive allegedly falling asleep during the pitch meeting.
unlabelledView post →Now Watching L.A. Confidential One of the best movies of the 90s. One of the best Supporting Actress wins of the 90s. I can’t believe that in TWO years this movie will be… THIRTY YEARS OLD???????????? Seems like yesterday Also fuck Kevin Spacey to hell and back. Rapist pedophile fuck

unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched MiB is still a fun movie from my childhood. L.A. Confidential, I barely remembered, good old corrupt cops story. Mobile Suit Gundam movie one is a solid first part to retelling the og series. Into the Spider-Verse still a blast, I love the animation and the cast.
unlabelledView post →I love “Titanic,” it is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies, but there is no question that “L.A. Confidential” was a better film.
unlabelledView post →Picking up where we left off last night... 11. Dudley Smith, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (film), James Ellory's L.A. Quartet and other novels. All cops are bastards...and then there's this motherucker. And somehow he's even WORSE in the books.

unlabelledView post →My husband and I felt the same about the leading man. Just reminded us what a charismatic movie star Crowe is. And now I want to rewatch L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and Master and Commander.
unlabelledView post →L.A. Confidential. The movie is a character -driven masterpiece. The book is a tangled mess Also, I really like the book The Terror but I think the TV show improved it
unlabelledView post →#Filmsky Favourite Guy Pearce performance? Mine is from the film L.A. Confidential
unlabelledView post →L.A. Confidential is, for my money, the most revealing and insightful film about Los Angeles. In terms of cinematic imagery, I give it to Blade Runner. Together they are the two L.A. noirs of my heart.

unlabelledView post →L.A. Confidential. The book is a sprawling, messy epic, and the movie is a Swiss watch
unlabelledView post →I watched training day yesterday. And L.A. Confidential is my #5 favorite film of all time #HATM
unlabelledView post →It was a technical achievement with an outstanding cast, and a good romance — but it’s definitely not a great film. It beat expectations and made so much money that getting Best Picture was probably inevitable. But, “L.A. Confidential” was a brilliant neo-noir.

unlabelledView post →Bought a nice hardcover of Ellroy's L.A. Quartet, mainly to replace a falling apart paperback of L.A. Confidential. Haven't read the other three books in here ( although I have seen the Black Dahlia movie ) so I'm going in. It's a bit of a doorstopper. www.amazon.com/The-L-A-Quar...

unlabelledView post →Bemused by YouTube comments mansplaining that my postulating that Guy Pearce should've already had multiple awards & noms is preposterous. Watch L.A.
