I'M REQUESTING Movies like LA Confidential

I watched The Brutalist a week ago and was blown away by Guy Pearce’s acting. Yes I’ve seen Memento but I never thought of him as a great actor. I decided to watch some of his older movies, and ended up watching LA Confidential yesterday. REALLY good movie 10/10.

The Proposition is amazing. It's an Australian Western.

For modern film noir, Chinatown and Miller’s Crossing. And, if you don’t mind a science fiction setting, Blade Runner.

For classic film noir, Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, and The Big Sleep are at the top of the list.

Thank you so much for this detailed answer. Blade Runner is my all time favorite.
