Last Chance...Film Noir HoF V
 

Open to Films from: 1940 to 1959 that are tagged 'noir' at either IMDB or Wiki.

We'll have 2 MONTHS watch time. It'll be a smaller HoF with fewer members as we just did one of these, easy to do.

This is the LAST CHANCE to do a Film Noir HoF before the Noir Countdown deadline. It's a good way to watch some top notch noirs and a great way to promote a noir that you believe in, giving it a chance to make the Noir Countdown. Hope people will join!
Deadline: February 18th

Don't everyone join all at once, ha!...Don't be shy, I don't bite.

Wyldesyde19 12-18-23 10:24 PM

I might join this. New year gives me more room to fit some Noir in.

It just might be me or you in this HoF...so you have a 50% chance of your nom winning:D




We got 2 months I figure I'd like to explore noir more before the countdown.

You're the first to chose a nom, it's all yours!

So far we have 3 confirmed members and 1 possible. This will be small and easy with a full 2 months so no rush....We need more members to join!

GulfportDoc 12-19-23 08:03 PM

Will this be just like the #IV? We pick a HOF-worthy noir, then make some commentaries on all that are picked?

Yup, just like that. Should be fun!

I will post a list of what noirs already won and were already in the last Noir HoF as those aren't eligible.

Hope you can join, we'll have 2 months and noirs aren't really long.

Citizen Rules 12-19-23 08:21 PM

These noirs aren't eligible as they were in the last Noir HoF IV
Act of Violence (1948)
The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
Criss Cross (1949)
Detour (1945)
Gilda (1946)
Gun Crazy (1950)
The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Mildred Pierce (1945)
Murder, My Sweet (1944)
Out of the Past (1947)
Thieves Highway (1949)
Touch of Evil (1958)

These aren't eligible as they already won a past HoF
In a Lonely Place (1950)
Laura (1944)
The Big Sleep (1946)
The Third Man (1949)
The Big Heat (1953)

ALL of those noirs are very worthy of making the upcoming MoFo Top Film Noir Countdown.

Re: Last Chance...Film Noir HoF V
 
We only got 6 members so far....would really like to get some more members! Promote your favorite noir and maybe others will love it enough to make their countdown ballots.

Citizen Rules 12-20-23 09:49 PM

I'm going to tag some more people as we really need some team MoFo support for the upcoming Noir Countdown...I hope we get enough ballots to make it work...So if you haven't seen many noirs join! Or just join anyway to make me happy:) Don't tell me about Xmas it will be done and over before this HoF starts...ya all got plenty of time.

@cricket @edarsenal @Hey Fredrick @Harry Lime with a name like that you're a natural for noir! @Allaby time to jump back into HoFs bro @Torgo I see you posting, join already @Diehl40 are you still around? And we need some dames @Thursday Next @CosmicRunaway

and @whoeverinthehellelseIforgot!

Wyldesyde19 12-22-23 12:58 AM

I say just go with the 6 of us. Small and quick.

Maybe it's a bit too soon for another noir Hof?

I think you'll get your wish.

Nah. I knew it would be smaller but still it's worth doing now for people to have a chance to see other MoFo's top noir selections.

Agreed.

Re: Last Chance...Film Noir HoF V
 
I just bought my nom so I'd rather do double noms if you guys feel this field is too small. Noirs are typically short anyways.
