The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

Superb film!

I don't remember where I had it on my list, but it's on there. Great adaption of a great novel from one of my favorite authors. Ellroy's novels are noted for rapid style delivery and the most corrupt and amoral characters that you will ever root for and even come to care about. The movie catches the tone of the novel perfectly and couldn't have been cast better. I love it. It's not only one of my favorite 90s movies, it's one of my favorites period.

Mark, I thought you liked L.A. Confidential?

Apparently 24 of the voters don't see it that way.

I haven't seen it. I'm a little curious about seeing it now, but frankly, the fixation I had on Kevin Spacey a decade ago has really diluted and now I kinda cringe at the thought of watching him. Even American Beauty got on my nerves the last time I saw it. But I did watch K-PAX and that was okay.

I was ironically referencing my post, not donnie's. I had it at #5.

Ahh. I completely missed that post in my skimming. Makes sense now.

Yeah, I watched it and though: so??

Yeah, that's what I think when I read your posts.

Wow! We agree!

LA Confidential is a pretty good movie. Not close to making my list or anything, but vastly better than most of the garbage in the 'neo-noir' genre, which would be a contender for 'worst film genre of recent decades' if it wasn't for the existence of torture porn. Interesting premise, strong atmosphere, some good performances (I liked Kim Basinger best); worthwhile anyway.

Had it at #16.Great movie

Pretty cool film, but not on my list. I rate it .

L.A. Confidential is a great movie, top cast, oozing with style and a great homage and stand alone noir itself. +

Oddly that one wasn't on my list. I must have submitted the list before I watched that one as well.

Well then, our final 7:

7. Reservoir Dogs
6. Se7en
5. Fight Club
4. The Big Lebowski
3. Shawshank Redemption
2. Goodfellas
1. Pulp Fiction

Two I haven't seen, two I don't particularly like, and 3 great films.

Two great ones, one that I liked enough to put on my list, one that I think is okay, one that I don't like, one that I've seen half of, and one that I haven't seen at all.

Five of those were on my list. Of the other two, I haven't seen one and the other I have seen, own on DVD, like it well enough, but find it highly overrated.

The last two films were both great. Magnolia would have made it if i'd saw it in time, and i had L.A Confidential at 21.

Perfect > Great > Good

That's what I think of the top 7. I just realized Titanic is not going to make the list.
I know it's mentioned already, but it's only coming through to me now.

I liked L.A. Confidential well enough, but it's been a while since I saw it. Of the last 7, for me three are great, two are very good, one is so-so and the other I remember liking ok but haven't seen it in a long time.
