I watched Sin City and played This Is The Police, and now I want to watch a good film with a cynical battered antihero living in a dirty urban sprawl talking in a deep scratchy voice and necking whiskey bottles at a rate of knots.
What are the best noir films?
L.A. Confidential
Chinatown
Blade Runner
Not a movie but L.A. Noire
But user, L.A. Noire WAS a movie.
The French Connection
To Live and Die in LA
The Seven Ups
Get Carter
Thief
Literally nothing mentioned in this thread so far is film noir.
Play the first Max Payne game
Best you can get for now is neo-noir. For noir you have to watch some pretty old movies with a few exceptions.
Post your own kino then faggot
Chinatown is pretty good although The tenant is probably Polanski's best.
Sunset blvd.
The Maltese Falcon.
Also heard good things about LA confidential
Chinatown is pretty much 100% film noir
thats unarguable
>Sin City
>film noir
eat your cum and go to bed, kid

Chinatown is neo-noir, just like anything else produced after 1958.
Oh, you're one of those fags
1&2 were perfect, that's was modern noir at it;s best. 3 was ok but the series could have went without it
Max Payne? There's no 3 my man.
That's like counting that Chinatown sequel.
The Big Heat
Where the Sidewalk Ends
Pickup on South Street
The Big Sleep is amazing and pretty much the definitive noir movie.
The Third Man is pretty cool and has Orson Welles
I just finished The Bad Sleep Well by Kurosowa, very sleek
Double Indemnity
The Maltese Falcon
>The Big Sleep
great banter but it's really mediocre in terms of visual storytelling
Don't respond to this obvious troll thread.
Proto Noir, Noir and Neo-Noir films I'd recommend, though I'm still a layman I'll admit:
-Fritz Lang's M (1931)
-The Maltese Falcon (1941)
-Double Indemnity (1944)
-The Third Man (1949)
-Sunset Blvd. (1950)
-The Night of the Hunter (1955)
-Touch of Evil (1958)
-Chinatown (1974)
-Blade Runner (1982)
-L.A. Confidential (1997)
-Dark City: The Directors Cut (1998)
-The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)
Love that film, but I wouldn't classify it exactly as Neo-Noir, even though it's thick with atmosphere.

>mediocre visual storytelling
Okay.
Yeah, honestly it was. No free roam unless you wandered away from the mission and ran around, really linear, no post game content. In general it felt like an interactive movie. In a good way, not like Heavy Rain or Beyond Two Souls.

Watchmen was kind of noir, I REALLY liked the rainy, hellish citycape they created for hte movie
Most of the greatest noir films were directed by Fritz Lang, Robert Siodmak and Billy Wilder. Watch the Maltese Falcon first though because that really kicked off the genre, although it had been brewing in literature and "proto-noir" type films for years. That is if you want to understand actual noir, which isnt really a genre actually more a style that existed for a bit and is sometimes emulated today with varying degrees of success. As someone else pointed out, a lot of whats being posted in this thread is noir-inspired rather than actual noir.
