Neo-Noir Hall of Fame

Open to Films released in or after 1960 that fit the Neo-noir countdown eligibility criteria.

It was time. Not my time, but fate's time. My plan is to finish before the February 25 deadline for the countdown, so the pendulum will stop swinging on Friday, February 16, 2024. You have been warned. Yes, I have been warned as well.

So as we swing the pendulum on this, reach deep within the murky waters of this sub-genre and send me your noms.

Re: Neo-Noir Hall of Fame
 
Alright, we're on! Two noms received already.

Wyldesyde19 01-03-24 12:08 AM

Sure. I’m in.

Re: Neo-Noir Hall of Fame
 
Already have 4 participants (5, including me) and 3 nominations so we're very much into it.

Torgo 01-03-24 08:30 PM

I'm in. I'll have a nom for you by end of day tomorrow.

Ok, I'm gonna give this maybe one or two more days tops, so make sure you let me know you're in if you haven't, and have your nominations ready by the weekend.

GulfportDoc 01-05-24 08:43 PM

I've been making a preliminary list during which several things occurred to me.

In practice the labeling of neo-noir films is far broader than what defines classic noir. It's almost as if any crime film can be a candidate for a neo-noir distinction, which of course should not be so. And some of the ones classified as being "neo-noirs" have me scratching my head.

On the flip side several films that I consider to be neo-noir, like for example Heat (1995), with Pacino and De Niro, is not listed as neo-noir in any of the places I've checked.

At any rate I'll be submitting my list before too long.

I'm confused. Are we supposed to send you our one favorite neo-noir? And then also send a list of our 25 ranked neo-noirs?

It is confusing, as there's two Noir HoFs right now and also two Noir Countdowns...You all can blame me for the duel noir idea stuff:p

This thread is a Hall of Fame (HoF) just like the Film Noir HoF IV which just ended...and the Last Chance...Film Noir HoF V which just started.

Exactly!

Just to be sure, you're wanting only 1 nomination per person sent to you; and that nomination can't be a noir that has won before. Is that correct?
:D Just one nom for everyone to watch. Then we all watch everyone's recommendation/nomination and share a review.

Are you in, or are you going to wait to see what's up?

Just waiting to see what's up.

I'm liking the nominations so far. There's two I've seen, but it's been a while so a rewatch wouldn't hurt; then there are two I've been meaning to watch for a long time; and finally there's one I hadn't heard of. So a very diverse bag for me, so far.
