L.A. Confidential should have won the Oscar for best picture. IMO, it only lost out to Titanic because that film made a billion dollars at the box office.
Saving Private Ryan was another film that was robbed. It lost to bloody Shakespeare in Love!

Yeh I watched it the other night and it was shoite
I said it before but I watched Alfie again for 20 mins and its really bleak at times, not sure it ever warranted the hype but it actually promotes real problematic views about women

Excellent film. Haven't watched it for a while, but doesn't it go full circle to show what a sad existence he has without a lasting relationship?

Im not a massive Caine fan TBH, maybe that gives me a bias, although I do love Get Carter

I agree with @MartyFunkhouser i watched it many moons ago & it was garbage. My daughter bought me the Kubrick collection basically all his movies it's the only one i haven't re watched.

The only thing about the movie which really kept my interest was trying to spot the scenes which were filmed on Brunel University campus, as I was an undergraduate there back in the 1990s.

...in your opinion!!!!
It is a work of genius, and in my opinion, transcends time and remains a timeless piece of brilliance.

Indeed the Ludovico Clinic scenes...good stuff that you were there.
I am actually in disbelief that there are folks who don't like it (and people with good taste I'd say judging their previous posts)...some of the choreography is incredible, and the whole passage where Patrick McNee takes him in and we see Alex singing in the rain (in the bath!) and how it triggers the horror memory is brilliant.
"Foooood alright?...Try the WINE!" as he slowly bubbles up.
The final scenes...the horror-comedic choreography of Alex and his droogs...I think it is a true work of art. Like so many of Kubrick's films...
...I love @MartyFunkhouser our resident Funkmeister, but maaaaaate, 'terrible acting'? No, no, and THRICE no! McDowell is superb. There's a reason no-one has tried to remake it IMO (I know, leaving myself open there)...
