Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown
Chinatown deserves the #1 spot. It is the most perfect of all hardboiled neo-noirs. I had it at #2. I'm more of a fan of Blade Runner, definitely, but I made a choice not to include science fiction...

I'd decided to include Kiss Me Deadly, but forgot when I submitted my list. It didn't exactly need my help anyway. Night of the Hunter is great and all, but it had no chance.
