The Best Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2001)

LA Confidential is the Best Movie Ever Made. I think it was robbed of Best Picture of 1997 at the Oscars. Kim Basinger had the best performance in the entire movie as a seemingly cold-hearted prostitute who realizes the mistakes and is sorry later. She is my favorite actress and this is best performance to date. The plot is really hard to understand at first but it is easier to understand with a second viewing. This movie showed me that problems like drug dealing and corruption were relevant back then as they are now. Curtis Hanson took a difficult to adapt novel and made a very edgy and twisted mystery thriller. The cast is one of the most memorable in movie history. The crew did a very good job in making a back lot studio look like LA in the 1950's. LA Confidential is my personal favorite and one of the best movies ever. I give it a 10!
