L.A.Confidential(1997)

One of the best movies in the Neo-Noir genre. Russel Crowe is totally bad ass, Guy Pearce is brilliant, Kevin Spacey outstanding. Add to it strong supporting acts from Danny De Vito, James Cromwell, David Strathaim and Kim Bassinger.

Rating- 4/5

The Insider(1999)

Michael Mann crafts an intense, hard hitting drama based on the real life story of whistleblower Dr.Jeffrey Wigand.  Intense to the core, not to be missed. Apart from Al Pacino, Russel Crowe, Christopher Plummer, watch out for one of the best cameos by  Bruce Mc Gill.
Rating - 4.5/5
