01
The Long Goodbye
Why this pick
A shambling, wry private-eye investigation with a beautifully off-kilter Los Angeles mood; its loose, elusive plotting and deadpan drift are a clear precursor to Inherent Vice.

02
Under the Silver Lake
Why this pick
Its paranoid L.A. detective quest turns pop culture, secret networks and romantic fixation into a playful, increasingly labyrinthine hangout mystery.
03
The Nice Guys
Why this pick
A shaggy 1970s Los Angeles mystery driven by mismatched investigators, absurd detours and comic confusion, while retaining the sleazy melancholy beneath the jokes.
04
The Kid Detective
Why this pick
A funny-sad neo-noir about an investigator whose casual, rambling persona masks real damage; its mystery gradually acquires more emotional and tonal weight than its comic surface suggests.
05
Cutter's Way
Why this pick
This bruised California conspiracy noir shares Inherent Vice's sense of a sunlit, compromised America, balancing a slippery investigation with damaged friendships and disillusioned humour.
