Rolo...Tamasi.

 

 

And if you don't consider this among the best Christmas--or any season--movies ever you're a booger eating moron.

 

Should have a string of Oscars if it were out in any other year. What a powerhouse year, Titanic, Good Will Hunting, As Good as it Gets, LA Confidential. Crowe and Pearce were incredible

Off the record, on the QT, and very hush hush

Outstanding movie. The oscar for adapted screenplay was much deserved. I love the book and am still amazed at how it was turned into that screenplay.

Lana Turner. Rita was the one with a nose job. Whatever you desire.

Damn.  sleepwalking through movie memories.

"I wouldn't trade places with Edmund Exley right now for all the whiskey in Ireland!"  was a great line by an evil character.

It's Christmas Eve in the City of Angels and while decent citizens sleep the sleep of the righteous, hopheads prowl for marijuana, not knowing that a man is coming to stop them! Celebrity crimestopper Jack Vincennes, scourge of grasshoppers and dopefiends everywhere!

Dudley Smith: It's best to stay away from a man when his blood is up!

 

Edmund Exley: His blood is always up!

Ed: All I ever wanted was to measure up to my father.
Bud: Here's your chance. He died in the line of duty, didn't he?

This topic has been beaten to death, but the entire film takes place over Christmas. Bud's introduction. The decorations. "Merry Christmas, officer." The lighting of trees. The 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' headline after the jailhouse beatdown...it's got xmas all over it.

LA Confidential and Miller's Crossing are 2 of my favorite crime movies with incredible dialogue that not everyone has seen.

 

Want me to watch it during Christmas season?  Mkay...maybe with a little flask of whiskey in the spirit of the film.

Now that's how you surly.

The scene where Jack/Spacey puts the $50 bill on top of his shot of whiskey when he recognizes he needs to BE a cop for the first time in a long, long time is so damn good. The whole film is a study in personal reckonings. How people betray their ideals in pursuit of a life that can be justified.
