Film Noir

[Moose242]

Damn I love noir and neo-noir. Anyone have any recommendations?

Some of my favorites include The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown, Brick, and Sin City, and I am always looking for new ones.

[mstng86]

Chinatown was damn good. I was surprised how good it really was. I usually don't like movies that old.

Does LA Confidential fit in that genre?

[ELVIS]

must be something rich folk watch??

god bless.

[Nash B.]

Big Trouble in Little Chinatown?

Does Dick Tracy count as well? That was actually on HBO last night.

Payback was a fun movie.

I concur. Any movie Kris Kristofferson gets killed in is a good movie.

You must like the Blade sequels then. He gets killed off in the second one, then in the third it turns out he was kept alive, only to be killed again (for real...?) by Dracula.

The greatest films of all time.

I just don't like the way the guy talks and makes faces. He always looks like he is constipated.

50 movies I will never see. If it was made before I was born, I probably can't get through it.

Hell no, but the original Get Carter counts.

What was that one movie... dark city? or something.
