I didn't care for Magnolia, but I don't have a problem with the ending. It felt just as bland as the rest of the movie.
In related news, I'm in the process of watching Boogie Nights. I've watched about the first 85 minutes, and then I had to stop for a while, but I'm actually really enjoying it. I don't love it, but it's far better than Magnolia.

Yay, my prediction is right so far.
I didn't see LA Confidential in time, but it would be 24th if I made the list now.

L. A. Confidential didn't quite make my list and I didn't think it would make it this high, but I think it's a great movie. It also has my favorite performance from Russell Crowe.

Surprised this didn't appear sooner, but I'm not complaining either. L.A. Confidential is awesome, I'm pretty sure it was in my top ten.

8. L.A. Confidential - (MY LIST)
A great neo-noir that contains a wonderful score, stylish atmosphere, awesome acting performances and a very warm, yet obscure look.
I probably placed it a little too high on my list, but I don't regret it. The only problem I have with this film is the ending. It's very formulaic and seemed to "betray" the noir genre a little bit, in my opinion. Oh well, I still liked the film so extremely much, despite the lesser ending, that I consider it as one of the best and most enjoyable films of the '90s.
Kevin Spacey is also freaking G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S as Jack Vincennes:

That's a good choice. It didn't make my list, but I really like it. Well done, MoFo's. Not as good as my #8, but we've already had Scream.
