I've seen A Woman Under the Influence, Gloria and Minnie and Moskowtiz - all three are amongst my favourite films, so it goes without saying that I will get to every John Cassavetes film by some stage - he's one of the absolute best filmmakers of his time. I'm really looking forward to catching The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.
61. The Dark Knight - I must have watched this 15 times when it came out - just a great movie with one of the most enjoyable performances of all time from Heath Ledger, who we were soon to be robbed of - but when you combine oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine you're playing dice with your life. My reasons are selfish - I would have liked to have seen him go even further with the talent he had. Anyway, by far the best Batman film ever made - I'm not all that big on the character myself, but The Dark Knight got everything right, and stands out so much that it kind of makes the trilogy Nolan made somewhat uneven. Never mind - I'll take that. It didn't make my list - I didn't quite see it as neo noir, being pretty much locked into the 'superhero film' bracket it is. I'm not arguing with the classification, just explaining why I didn't vote for The Dark Knight. It wasn't neo-noir enough for me personally.
Seen : 24/40 - surprised by the number of films appearing I haven't seen actually.
