Should have won Best Picture and Director instead of overblown "Titanic".

Fascinating that Hanson said not to treat it like Film Noir. A lot of the elements of Noir are there but they don't dominate the look.

One of the best movies of the generation.

So many great actors,with wonderful performances , hard to say who performed better

Spacey is such a great actor but such a bad person.

Brilliant film in every way. Excellent story, excellent direction, excellent performances, excellent editing, music, costuming, everything.

One of the best movies, I ever saw! Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce made this movie! I just want to watch it over and over again!

Gotta be incredibly satisfying to have been a part of creating this brilliant movie.

Titanic is bubblegum trash. This movie is a masterpiece for any era.

I just watched this movie again yesterday. I could sit down and watch it again right now. It’s so well done all the way around. There are only a handful of movies like this for me. Godfathers 1 and 2, Patton and a couple others. It’s just that mesmerizing.

A classic! One of my favorite films.

Excellent acting, pacing, and story telling. One of my favorite films and should have won the best picture award.

Awesome changes from book form to film form, with nothing lost and meaning and clarity added. Fabulous film. One of the best.

I love police thrillers based in LA in the 40s, 50s and 60s. This is one of the best along with Mulholland Falls. China Town, Harper, and The Two Jakes are also great.

Thanks for posting this. Love this movie. Never saw this before.

Great justice was done to the feel. It doesn't lay style on top of nothing, it's class. So many great actors got to shine, and we do get a depth to their characters, which is some achievement with a talent sandwich like this.

Fabulous movie, one of my all time favourites. Lost count of how many times I've watched it :)

Bud White, Edmund Exley and Jack Vincennes remind me of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. Animal energy/pure id (White/Kirk), cool logic (Exley/Spock) and compassion (Vincennes/McCoy). None of the characters is complete without the other two. And that first scene in the bar with Kim Basinger -- unforgettable.

A brilliant adaptation of Ellroy's sprawling novel. Every professional eye was beautifully focused on the story...cinematography, set design, costumes, editing, lighting, screenplay. Hanson's direction and handling of the actors was sublime. In a perfect world, this movie should have sunk the Titanic at the Oscars. Spacey's best work. In different films, Spacey named two iconic imaginary villains. Rollo Tomasi and Keyser Söze. A cinephile's treat all around.

I'm Mexican.... And police police station was filmed in Downtown Los Angeles building on 6th St. And Main St.
