Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

So Thelma & Louise is a noir?

It's a good film, though.

Lost Highway...I mean it's David Lynch...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

For whatever reason I didn't care for Niagara at all. It's probably my lowest rated on the list that I've seen so far. It looked great. Marilyn looked great. Joseph Cotten usually is great. But the...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

The French Connection is a classic but is it a noir? I don't know but it qualifies so it is! It's been a while since I watched but Hackman kills it and the direction is on point. Great chase scene(s)...

I haven't seen either but both look like potential with interesting stories and quality directors and cast behind them. Both added to the watchlist.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Very cool nineties pairing here. It just works doesn't it. Bound is the Wachowski's best film not named The Matrix Part 1 and by far because the rest is bleh.

I've seen both but it was a long time ago but I thought The Naked City was a good film and liked the realist approach but was kind of meh on Kiss of Death. I guess a couple of classics though that...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

The Dark Knight is a great movie. One of the best blockbusters so far this millennium? Probably. I'm a bit surprised it's not higher but that's also a good thing. And that's nothing against the film....

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

On Dangerous Ground was in semi-contention. Not really. But it would make a top 50. The direction of Ray adds to the overall quality of the film. I haven't seen Act of Violence.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

I didn't care too much for Gone Girl Gone but it's okay I will give it that. Klute is one of those that have been on my watchlist for at least ten years. I'm getting closer to watching it I swear.

Where the Sidewalk Ends is a great film noir that was in contention to make my list but I decided to go with only Otto Preminger/Gene Tierney/Dana Andrews film. It's a classic.

Point Blank is all right but I'm not a huge fan. It's cool to see Some Seijun Suzuki here as well. He's not my favourite director but feel he deserves to be here.
