3. L.A. Confidential (1997)

That Curtis Hanson successfully transposed James Ellroy's sprawling novel into an accessible narrative film was impressive enough, but that he also made L.A. Confidential one of the best neo-noir movies is even more so. A star-studded cast (Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Kim Basinger) told the tale of a sordid Hollywood underworld filled with corrupt cops and prostitutes cut to look like stars.
