Very good film. It's interesting to me that we never got anything close to this level from the director after his debut.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

And as for Soderbergh, I'm not too much of a fan of any of his later films that I've seen but he had an excellent run there with Out of Sight, The Limey, and Traffic.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Yeah I had The Limey on my list too at #16. It's too bad it didn't make it - great film and perfect example of the neo noir genre. I'll second Holden's rec here and it's worth watching, Mofoers.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

Lots of twists and turns in this classic Hawks & Bogie & Bacall film noir. It's a great example of the genre. I had it at #14.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Memento is a good movie. Maybe Nolan's best. It's been a very long time since I last watched. I wonder how it would hold up on a rewatch.

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.
