I don't think we need both most memorable and funniest scene. I agree there's a lot of crossover between worst film, overrated and biggest disappointment. I'm not sure the over/underrated categories...

I'd never heard of Under the Silver Lake. I have a lot of respect for Silence of the Lambs, and Jodie Foster in particular, but didn't really consider it for a neo-noir list.

Infernal Affairs was my #13. I'm not sure I can exactly explain why I felt this was neo-noir and not just a crime thriller, it's just a vibe it has. But then, that's the essence of neo-noir that...

Anna Lucasta was my pick. It's more of a melodrama than a noir overall, but with some noirish elements. Eartha Kitt was great as Anna and had some fun, snappy dialogue. It was interesting to see a...
