The MoFo Top Film Noir Countdown - Preliminary Thread

→ in
Tools    





Predicting now that the top 6 will be Citizen Kane, Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, Sunset Boulevard, Rear Window and The Third Man. While judging by how the top 100 for the forties and fifties countdowns went. All 6 movies are in the top 3.
Ummmmm, no. Black & White does not equal Noir.

Hope the list is an education for you. 😀

I'm sure it will be. I'll replace the 3 that aren't noir and the ones that are as I looked up top noir movies, I pick The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep.

I just sent in my list, and this may be the earliest I've done so for one of these Countdowns haha. Usually I wait until the last day or two to finalize my ballot so I have as long as possible to work on it, but I'd been thinking about this one for awhile, and I didn't want to be fretting about the order of this list and the neo noir one at the same time haha.



Keep those noir ballots coming! and keep this thread bumped too, it helps!

Besides I'm not good and finding those noir gifs though I do like em! I wonder where they're all hiding out?



Maybe they're in the sewers?

You know what, I don't even need the year of the movie, just the title of the movies on your ballot. That will make it a LOT easier for you MoFos to make out a voting ballot. I mean I'll stand on my head if I have to



I'll be submitting mine probably on Friday. That still gives me a couple of extra days if I need them. All under control here.



You need to fix the link for the noir submission I just keep going to the neonoir page
There is no ballot submission tool for this Film Noir countdown. Voting ballots have to be sent to me by message, like we use to do in the older countdowns. A voting ballot is just like an HoF ballot, it's your ranked list of your top favorite 1940-1959 noirs. You don't have to put the year either just the titles in ranked order.
