Before you write a post about how something I mentioned isn't noir, don't bother.

To add to this guys list:


Traiditional Noir:
-Sunset Boulevard
-Night Of the Hunter
-In A Lonely Place
-The Third Man
-Asphalt Jungle
-The Big Heat
-Touch of Evil

Neo Noir
-Blood Simple
-Blue Velvet
-Chinatown
-The Long Goodbye

Foreign Noir
-Le Cercle Rouge
-Rififi (does it count?)
-Le Samourai
-Stray Dog (Kurosawa noir is some of the most interesting)
-High and Low
-Then if you still want more asian noir, watch Seijun Suzuki's surrealist noir (this is a good place to start: criterion.com/boxsets/655-eclipse-series-17-nikkatsu-noir)

Also here's a pic with all the essentials.

You know how to whistle, don't you Steve?

Watch touch of evil. Best noir film ever.

Magnificent list

Another reminder why Orson Welles was the GOAT

Peter Lorre plays /ourguy/

I thought Brick was pretty neat. Worth mentioning

I don't understand when people say that Metropolis is Lang's best film, when it's clearly M

Seen this one already. A masterpiece. A silent film that packed a knockout blow.

Reminder that TCM's iOS app, website OnDemand stuff is a great resource for film noir. Gilda's on there now.

Probably cause Metropolis is and was a blockbuster. Very grand in scale. M is better though I agree. Both are amazing.

never seen it, thanks for the rec

To Have and Have Not.

AW SHEEIIT! Didn't see your post, just posted this one. Great movie, and wonderfully quotable.

Don't die

bump

>not actually noir

Friendly reminder noir = 1944-1955 with some exceptions like Maltese Falcon and Touch of Evil

Neo-noir is a subcategory of film noir

M is not a silent film. You might be thinking of Metropolis.

maybe not the best but it's up there.

>The Maltese Falcon. Not the best
