Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

The first movie from my list has made it, This Gun for Hire. Alan Ladd is great as the killer and Veronica Lake is, as always, killer in her own way. I had it at #20.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

It was a given I'd include The Friends of Eddie Coyle, and I had it at #11. Someone mentioned how long winded it is at times, and that's because the book it's based on is famous for being almost...

I remember Le Corbeau as excellent but never thought of it for the list, and I would have had to watch it again remember it for sure.

Re: The Killer 2023 (David Fincher)

I didn't care the least for it. What was the point of any of it? I would have settled for "it all means nothing" sort of point (as Burn After Reading does it), but it's just empty and unengaging. Le...
