Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown
And yeah we can keep it positive. Instead of my term "maybes" which rolls off the tongue too well we can just refer to them as noirish.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown
For me the "maybes" (and again I have maybes on my list) are when you ask yourself: What type of film is ____? If the first response isn't neo-noir then it's a maybe. That's fine, though. A big part...

In a Lonely Place is a superb film. I had it at #12 but on another it could have easily placed in my top 10. Just watch it already, Sedai.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown
Seven is a very good crime thriller. Neo-noir? Maybe. It's close enough and Mofo has spoken and determined it to be so. Besides I've got a couple on my list that are a maybe too.

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

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.

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.

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.

So what's the final 10? I'm too lazy to dig through the thread or make a list and I want to make predictions of rankings that will be proven incorrect tomorrow when #10 is posted.

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.
