Director Curtis Hanson Dies At 71


And another one goes...

Reports just came in that "L.A. Confidential" director Curtis Hanson has passed away at the age of 71 at his Hollywood Hills home. He's been retired for quite a while now but he gave us films like "8 Mile" (winning Eminem an Oscar), "Wonder Boys", "The River Wild" and, of course, the one we all know and love: "L.A. Confidential", which is one of my all-time favorite movies. Although not a household name, Hanson's filmography is filled with impressive and very underrated work. His legacy will continue to live on as "L.A. Confidential" will forever remain in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

May you rest in peace, Curtis Hanson.
