I haven't triple checked this because I have to leave for work very shortly, but I recalculated the point totals to see what they would be like if Double Indemnity wasn't disqualified.

This was a very difficult Hall of Fame for me to rank, because I actually really enjoyed every single one of these nominations. The two films on the bottom of my list are only at the bottom because...

I'm curious as well. Just based on what everyone's posted so far, if it didn't win it definitely would've ranked pretty high. I had it second, which makes one #1, three #2s and a #4. That's quite a...

That's a shame, but not entirely unexpected since his last post in the thread was about 2 months ago. Hopefully he's alright.

First ahwell was on a roll in the 22nd, and now Siddon's following suit here! Did you binge watch the movies close together, or had you been sitting on the reviews for awhile?

"Comparing Dicks" would be the perfect name for a HoF about gay detectives though. :lol:

Re: Film Noir HoF III

Too bad you didn't like Murder, My Sweet. I think you really need to love all of the classic noir tropes to find it enjoyable, since it's pretty much as stereotypical as the genre gets. They...

You wouldn't like our system then. Most R rated films in the US are only 14A here haha.

I don't have anything in particular to comment, but there's a nice string of reviews on this page. :up:

Criticism doesn't necessarily equate to negativity, but I think how it's worded can contribute a lot to how others perceive what was written. Sometimes I read over a review I wrote and think it...

We randomly lost power just after I posted that review earlier. Luckily it wasn't in the middle of me writing it! I do save often though, so I might not have lost anything even if it had.

I don't know what it is about derisively calling the overture "non-sense" that made me laugh, but it amuses me for some reason haha.

I also didn't like the overture in Spellbound, and agree with...

Re: Film Noir HoF III

So it turns out I had seen Spellbound before, or at least the majority of it. I must have caught it on tv at some point. This has become a rather common trend in these HoFs for me haha.

Re: Film Noir HoF III

I just rewatched Double Indemnity. I quickly skimmed over what I wrote about it for the 2nd 1940s HoF, and I'm likely going to lift at least half of it for my review here, if not more. I don't really...
