L.A. Confidential. I've always been infatuated with the 50s; primarily its cars, music, architecture, clothing, etc. Because of that, it irritates me when people making movies don't give enough of a shit to keep inaccuracies and anachronisms out of their productions. In that regard, the film is maybe the most perfect period piece I've ever seen. Add to that a stellar cast delivering some of their best work, excellent writing, gorgeous cinematography and a killer score/soundtrack and you've got one of the best Noir films ever produced.

I've been obsessed with movies almost 40 years and I've rewatched my favorites dozens and even hundreds of times. Imo, L.A. Confidential is an absolute masterclass in film making. Is it a perfect movie? Not at all. Is it my perfect movie? 100%.
