Has it aged well?

ohhhh, is that why all of the cars, hair, clothes, TV's, songs, stars, and references were from the 50's ? I was wondering about that !
I was really confused when Lana Turner showed up. I thought she from the 50's, not the 90's. I also was confused why the LA freeway hadn't been built yet. -

The film has aged just fine, and does not need a remake with "modern" CGI. There is not exactly a shortage of "shiny" computer graphic reliant films with average acting skills and lack of substance. Keep CGI where it belongs, primarily comic book / super hero, and frivolous action movies.

any movie with a great story is worth watching no matter the age. this movie is definitely one of them. and any movie with a surprise ending that you've seen before yet continue to watch over and over again = great.
We've lost Gorgeous George.

So did I! I was hoping it would be On Demand because it aired kind of late in the night, but it was worth it. My sister also loved it, even though she normally hates everything about movies like LA Confidential.

It's aged better than ANYTHING. Better than wine, better than cheese, I have never seen anything age as well as this film. We all should age as well. Johnny Depp hasn't aged as well as LA Confidential!

I just saw it for the first time ever and I thought it was awesome. As others have said, it was made already "dated" by decades, so the on-screen elements of the '50s felt no more out of place now than they would have in 1997.

Just watched it, better than 95% crap you get to see nowadays, so i would say it could not age since cinema didnt move a bit forward since then.
But it does have few of those 90ties tropes like a big shootout near the end and having that cinematic reality feel where its not exactly realistic but not too cartoonish, but cant really blame it for it, its just that style of movie. -
