Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

Kubrick is the best director of all-time. And (most of) Mofo knows this to be true. I had The Killing at #18. With a more recent rewatch it probably would have been higher. Shadow of the Doubt didn't...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

So what's the final 10? I'm too lazy to dig through the thread or make a list and I want to make predictions of rankings that will be proven incorrect tomorrow when #10 is posted.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Top quality Coen films here with Fargo being one of my all-time favourites and No Country not too far off but I didn't include either on my list. I'm fine with the choice I made.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

The Night of the Hunter is a masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all time. I'm surprised that some of you are posting that you haven't seen it yet. I feel it's a must watch so maybe get on...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

There are a few movies that just get better and better every time I go in for a rewatch, and Blue Velvet is one of them. Currently my favourite David Lynch film. It's just so perverse and brilliant....

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Played with the idea of including Miller's Crossing but it was a late cut. Upper tier Coens for sure. As usual the Coens fill the screen with an outstanding cast and a film that is uniquely theirs in...

The Asphalt Jungle just missed making my list. On a different day it could have gone another way. Quality John Huston heist noir (let's make it a thing). I had Mildred Pierce at #11 with Joan...

Re: Gene Hackman, 94, being hounded by tabloid

I shower every day because I like to feel refreshed to start a new day. Pants can be worn for days or weeks in between cleaning. Same with sweaters/sweatshirts if you have a shirt on underneath....

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

So much love for the 90s in this countdown. I was just thinking, and I'm not meaning to derail the thread, just want to get in fellow Mofos heads, that 90s redux should be next up. Not hosted by me....

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Both are very good movies but neither made my list. Jackie Brown is one of Tarantino's best and Blow Out is maybe De Palma's best(?). I don't know to be fair I've never been a huge fan of his work so...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

I had the truest (?) Hitch film noir on my list at #19. It's a great picture with an interesting proposition that I often thinking of when I meet random people on the train. Just for fun. To pass the...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

My rating of The Usual Suspects has wavered a bit over the years but it's still a good film. I did once meet Stephen Baldwin at a Starbucks in Vancouver years ago and after talking for a bit I...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

A couple of winners. I didn't have Ace in the Hole on my list but only because I had two other Billy Wilder films on my list (and pretty high too). Kirk Douglas excels and the subject matter is still...

Both are good films. I don't for either but they certainly earn their spots here on this list.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

My first twofer from both noir countdowns! Here is the Siodmak noir that I voted for at #16 and it's a good one. Well shot and executed expansion on the Hemingway short. Perfect example of the genre...

Okay I sent in my votes. I don't get how The Zone of Interest is up for Best Director but not Best Film but oh well.
