L.A. Confidential

[Sooner04]

Every time I watch this movie it moves up further on my all-time favorite list.

The acting, the script, the plot, all of them are way beyond top-notch.

man you know you liked The Ref.

[GDC]

My respect and admiration for 04 continues to grow. I was conflicted last night because the Yanks were on, but so were two of my all-time favorite movies I can never turn the channel from, L.A. Confidential and Boogie Nights. :mad:

[yermom]

i liked L. A. Confindential, but i haven't had much desire to rewatch it

Boogie Nights though, i end up watching every time i see it on. that part right before they rob Doc Ock puts me on edge every time.

[Harry Beanbag]

Also one of my favorites.

Only perhaps some teenage boys in hollywood. :D

K-Pak?

[soonerjoker]

i really like that movie, but it seems strange that they have
johnny stompanato in it, & the rest of the characters are fictional.
also lana turner.

at least, i think the rest were fictional.

[GDC]

If you like LA Confidential by all means be sure to see Chinatown with Jack Nicholson, a great great movie.

[KaiserSooner]

LA Confidential is one of my top 10 favorite movies.

[TopDawg]

LA Confidential is a really good one. I haven't seen it in years, though.

On a side note, I watched True Romance for the first time a few nights ago. It's got a lot of famous people and relatives of famous peopel in it.

[yermom]

True Romance is a great flick as well

[PrideTrombone]

K-Pak?

OK, I'll buy K-Pax and Pay It Forward, but The Usual Suspects and his character in Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil more than make up for it.

The Usual Suspects is yet another I will always find myself unable to click away from. Even Stephen Baldwin can't ruin that movie.

[KC//CRIMSON]

True Romance is a great flick as well

Top Ten all time. :cool:

[King Crimson]

anyone who hasn't seen chinatown is a noob.

[yermom]

i saw it sometime after The Two Jakes came out

made me hate Faye Dunaway a little less after Mommie Dearest

she's good in Network too. and Taxi driver.

[yermom]

i somehow have still not seen either of those

[King Crimson]

she's not wearing a bra in most of Network.

and you get to see a little, too.

checkout Little Big Man, she's in it with Hoffman and she's smokin hot.

Miss Pendrake?

[King Crimson]

yeah, she's the priest's wife. and get's it on with the supply store owner on the sly.

[sanantoniosooner]

It is a good day to die.

[soonerjoker]

Faye was hot about 30 yrs. ago.

another good flick from a few years ago, "true confessions", i think.

robert duvall as cop & robert deNiro as a priest. haven't seen it for a few years. another one set in 40s LA. very good, imho.
i forgot, they were brothers.

[GDC]

It's on HBO right now.

[Scott D]

I don't want to interrupt my listening to Alicia Keys - Unplugged...thx tho :)

[soonerjoker]

Nick Nolte also made a good movie that was set in LA in the
40s or 50s. he drove a big old buick convertible.
i think it was a 49 roadmaster. maybe.

You know what Mulholland Falls had over LA Confidential....

That's right...Jennifer Connolly :)

[GDC]

Cinemax just showed LA Confidential, followed immediately by Full Metal Jacket.:cool:

Yes indeed. Russell Crowe was a BAMF in that one.

[GDC]

I'm sick today and Cinemax at least made it tolerable. I also have Hustle and Flow and Hostel in reserve on dvd.

Yup. Over Thanksgiving, I was cleaning out a chest where all our old VHS tapes are. I put in an unlabeled one to see what was on it and ended up watching the whole freaking movie again.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

this thread has some disturbing revelations

So, were you happy or disappointed that it wasn't a "home" movie? :texan:
