Rolo...Tamasi.

 

 

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

Tis a great movie.  Never thought of it as Christmassy.

So many great scenes!!!

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 

"with a wrecking ball... you wanna help me swing it?"

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!

Pull him off me, Exley!

I don't know how

Shotgun Ed!

”LAPD, shitbird. Get the fuck out of here, or I’ll call your wife to come get you.”


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?

Top 5 for me and a formative movie for my 15 year old brain.

That's a perfect scene. Two words. Two camera shots. Acknowledgement. Recognition. They're both swimming in the same murky waters.

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.

And Bud and Exley gives the gift of justice to all the bad people because that's what the man got. Justice.

Sold. 
Die Hard is 2nd place now. 

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.
