#8 of our Greatest Anti-Christmas Christmas Movies Ever Made, via Finding The Wrong Words: L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997): Based on the Bloody Christmas police beatings of 1951, James Ellroys pulp detective novel makes a glorious leap to the big screen via director Curtis Hanson (THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE) and writer Brian Helgeland (A KNIGHTS TALE). Its a deliberate throwback to classics such as CHINATOWN and THE BIG SLEEP, with a plot so dense, theres practically a twist every 15 seconds. And the cast (including Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger and Russell Crowe, to name a few) is absolutely killer.
