Thanks for hosting, CR! So each countdown list will be a top 50, correct?

Thief is hosting Neo Noir and he's in full charge of that, so I can't speak for him but I think he will do whatever is logical, so if he gets enough ballots he might do a top 100 otherwise it would be a top 50. |
Re: The MoFo Top Film Noir Countdown - Preliminary Thread
Is Grisbi allowed? It doesn't say noir on imdb or wiki but it made the TSPDT list which is pretty legit I think.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046451/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchez_pas_au_grisbi https://www.theyshootpictures.com/noir1000title.htm I might not vote for it. And I'm fine if it's not allowed. But figured I'd mention it anyway since I'm going through my lists and figuring out what's eligible. |

Re: The MoFo Top Film Noir Countdown - Preliminary Thread
There is a channel on YouTube called DK Classics that has a lot of noir in it.

I love the setup in this thread Citizen. Very glad you decided to take the reins on this one. I was considering doing a Noir viewing thread, but since you are going to have so much going on, and I plan on participating I will just post what I watch here or in the other threads.
I started watching a couple weeks ago since we basically knew Noir was going to win. I have watched 8 new to me Noir so far. Gun Crazy, The Woman In The Window, The Glass Key, Fallen Angel, Brute Force, Panic In The Streets, T-Men, and D.O.A. I loved the first two. The only one I didn't really care for was D.O.A., but it still wasn't a hard watch. That one doesn't have a very good transfer either, which definitely hurts my enjoyment these days. I can't believe there was a time when DVD quality worked for me. :D |

if you are interested in any of the books from the attached library guide, or if you know of a book on film noir that you would like to use for this countdown, you may be able to obtain these books from your local public library. Ask if they offer inter-library loan services. They will get the book from another library. I have requested two books to consult throughout this countdown to help guide me through film noir and Neo noir. A Public service announcement from your local librarian. |
Re: The MoFo Top Film Noir Countdown - Preliminary Thread
A short guide to film noir
Many have problems with describing Film Noir as a genre. They usually elect to call it a style of film making. Please keep this in mind as you read the article. |
