Chinatown
Private eye Jake Gittes lives off of the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-World War II Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together.

Perfect film noir, and surprisingly funny at times. You feel like you are solving the mystery right alongside Mr. Grittes. Every detail is important, and nothing is too spelled out for the audience. I'd like to rewatch it to see if I missed anything.
