So glad to see that Clueless, Swingers, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit made the list!
And no argument from me on LA Confidential hitting #1…

I’ll argue with LA Confidential hitting No. 1. No way it’s a better LA movie than The Player or the Big Lebowski or Boogie Nights. Or even Swingers.
I’m just glad they didn’t celebrate Crash too much. It only just made the list. It’s not just a bad LA movie, it’s a bad movie.

Yes, Crash sucks. But Mike, no love for LA Confidential? Granted, it’s no Double Indemnity or Chinatown or Sunset Boulevard, but if we’re talkin’ the past 25 years, yeah, it’s #1.
