Heh, heh. Ya know, I don't believe I've ever seen that movie, although I was always an Anthony Zerbe fan. I was busy with my music career in those days, and rarely got to the pictures then. 'Preciate the thought, though.

None of the one pointers were mine. My 25th position is a pretty famous movie that I'm guessing will show up on the top 100. I haven't seen any of the 1 pointers, but I do apparently own a copy of Long Day's Journey into Night. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wyldesyde19 03-04-24 09:09 PM

One of these are my one pointer.

Guess

Hey, my first ever one-pointer!


I've seen two of the others.

Just saw The Guilty (1947) in the Noir thread and wishing I had voted for The Guilty (2018) here.

While we wait for things to start, if there's one thing I want to reiterate from the opening post is this...

Like I said in the preliminary thread, all of the films complied with our eligibility requirements, which means that somebody – here or there – saw some flavor of "neo-noir" in it. So let's use this as an opportunity to both read what others have to say and write what we have to say, but in a respectful manner. Use it as an opportunity to catch up on great films, regardless of their classifications and see why someone else loved it enough to vote for it.
If there was one challenging thing in this preliminary period was to take this incredibly vague style or movement and try to harmonize it into something that was more or less "tangible" for all of you to vote for. Take into consideration that even film experts and scholars don't always agree into what specifically "film noir" or "neo-noir" is, so what do we mere mortals know? Just have fun with it.

You don't have to. I'm just playing.

Wow, got a one-pointer without trying for it, but glad to see it here. Mine is probably an easy one for folks who know my tastes.

I have seen 5 out of 16 and a few of the ones I haven't, have piqued my interest.

SpelingError 03-05-24 12:49 AM

I haven't seen any of these one pointers either.

PHOENIX74 03-05-24 03:45 AM

I thought I had a good 1-pointer going for this, but now I'm intrigued as to who also voted for the film I gave my point to - whoever it is, has my vote, so to speak.

I've seen :

Affliction - pretty good, I have it on DVD
Black Hat - I haven't actually seen it, but it's sat here on the table next to me - a DVD someone threw my way. What are the chances?
The Little Things - great performance from Jared Leto.
Mirage - watched this recently, and it was a surprisingly good mind-bender.

That would be my one pointer...and anyone that watched the show True Detective and wondered what would the 70's version of it look like...

@Thief / @Citizen Rules

Hope some of the hosts is going to schedule his reveals for the early part of the mornings. So that, Europe can receive first dose early in the afternoon and second portion in the evening.

Amazingly it wasn't me. I normally vote for this film at any possible chance as it's a modern masterpiece, but I didn't in this countdown for some reason. I didn't go for the whole one pointer thing this time around and instead have quite a well loved film at #25.
Some good ones there though.

Haven't seen a single one pointer

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown
 
I thought about putting Kill Me Again on my list, but I couldn't really remember it or even how I really felt about it, so left it off. Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead just didn't occur to me, but I'd have gone with it for sure.

Nope and never seen that movie before :D, no one pointer for me since I only got 10 movies on the ballot list.

Good guess for me, but no one pointer this time. Which I was shocked by actually.

Speaking of... I watched a portion of and interview recently that Samuel Andreyev conducted with you. Interesting stuff! Will finish it up when I get some time.
