Chinatown or Third Man (though Third Man isn't technically a noir, it just uses noir tropes)

Kiss Me Deadly

Gun Crazy
Detour
Kiss Me Deadly
The Big Sleep
Angel Face
Double Indemnity
Chinatown
The Long Goodbye
The Killers
The Asphalt Jungle

Start with those.

this, Detour and Double Indemnity certainly typify the genre the most

also Maltese Falcon > > > The Big Sleep

...

>also Maltese Falcon > > > The Big Sleep

Why are you stating the obvious? The Big Sleep's plot is literally incomprehensible, it's Bogart talking jive to some other characters for an hour. It's noir ASMR.

I can tell it's the only one you've seen.

Well stated, but we had a discussion about it last time in which ours was the minority opinion. TBS starts strong, iconic even, good chemistry between bogey and bacall early on, but yea, becomes a droning sort of lull.

Only recently saw Bogey and Huston's Beat the Devil and it's a lot of fun, i'd rec to noir fans

I really fucking liked The Shanghai Gesture. It was dense as fuck.

Out of the Past.

Best: Double Indemnity
Underrated; Kiss of Death

Double Indemnity or Out of the Past.


Honorable mention for Touch of Evil.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Pierrot le Fou
The Maltese Falcon

Maltese Falcon

Does kiss me deadly count?

this is garbage, pls leave

Beat me to it. Perfect movie

Why doesn't noir work in modern times, bros?

It does. Drive and No Country are examples of modern noir

Just cheked my Imdb history.
Kiss Me Deadly - 7
Maletese Falcon - 9

It's a special writing tecnhique and aesthetic that only works in the context of artists trying to make gritty, adult movies while navigating the Production Code.

Neo-noir is a thing but sometimes imo they feel kind of hokey and don't capture the true spirit of noir.
Neither of those are neo-noir. Neo-noir is like Chinatown.

But it does

in a lonely place

> Neo-Noir
Lynch's shit like Mullholand Drive?

For me, it's The Big Sleep.

depends on your interpretation of what noir is I suppose

Yes, that can be considered one too. No Country is alot more similar to the anti-westerns of the 1970s than like noir.

This would be a nice shot if it wasn't disgustingly full of blatant CGI.

His most Noir film is Blue Velvet in my opinion.

I've seen very few so all I can say is The Third Man

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers

Modern directors don't have the nuance and phtographer's eye to make it work. Noir is heavily based on mood, lighting, and angles. Without those, it falls apart since it doesn't rely on story or plot, it relies on the ability to create a sort of modern drama about the darkness of society.

I agree. Lost Highway too though

...

I can tell it's the only one you've seen

Look at this patrician coming through over here

Thanks for that great contribution to the thread, fren.

both versions of the Killers though i like the one with Lee Marvin because I am a fanboy of his.
Also, Point Blank.

M

>didn't include my post for extra humor
come on champ

ah, i see you are a man of good taste.

Key Largo

I've watched more noir films than your edgy ass.

The Long Goodbye

also Sunset Boulevard.

On a related note, we can all agree that Raymond Chandler is the best hardboiled/noir writer, yes?

No, not a chance, plebbit.

>mommy baby wants to fuuuuck

what did he mean by this?

>Lynchfags ruin another another post
You have to go back

what is inherent vice you dingus

surf-stoner-noir perfection

No, that would be James Cain

Would le samourai be considered noir?

>Drive
>noir
Kill yourself reddit

Yeah, pretty much.

I've always kind of considered Breathless a noir as well.

Neo-Noir for sure. And a damn good one at that

>The Big Sleep
I can't find Mitchum's version of The Big Sleep anywhere. Just a little clip on YouTube and some long dead torrents. I know it isn't noir but Mitchum in the 70s with Oliver Reed is still worth seeing.

Touch of evil is actual garbage.
Why anyone would recommend it is beyond me. Do people just like it cause it has Fatman Welles in it? The whole movie is basically a cartoon, it's ridiculous. So many films named in this thread that are leagues above it.

Caught is noirkino and on youtube.

>Touch of evil is actual garbage.
no your taste is actual garbage.

I've seen 'neo-noir' shit but never a classic noir movie. What should I watch?

would Hollywoodland be considered neo-noir?

Asphalt Jungle, or at least any of the noir kinos made by Huston and Nicholas Ray
dubs confirm

Double Indemnity was so fucking boring. Thought it was cool seeing where all the cliches originate from

the one 2 posts up.

LA Confidential is good 90's noir

DO NOT watch the Black Dahlia, it is trash

anyone know any american hays-code era film-noirs where the bad guys win in the end
it's always interesting seeing those films slip through, btw nothing personnel kid

Pretty much this.

I don't understand why two men would want to fuck Kim Bassinger.

why did noir era last so short, brothers?

Nigga please the maltese falcon was boring compared to the big sleep.

>the big sleep>the maltese falcon

user not the guy you quoted but out of the past and the big sleep are fucking good.

Kino.

We had a Sup Forums recommended film noir list but I lost it. Anyway

>the big sleep
>out of the past
>key largo
>the asphalt jungle
>double indemnity
>detour

I have to check my torrent list at home for more but these ones are the best imo.

>ctrl+F
>Alphaville
>no results

seconding this. bogart's best ever performance, and an ending that's truly heartbreaking in spite of the misjudged last couple of declaimed lines. i also love that the murder mystery takes a backseat in the plot; it's just there to motivate the relationship between these two characters, and comes into and out of the story as it needs to. a great movie.

What's that?

Godard's lame attempt at science-fiction.

I liked it but it felt more like a drama movie then a real film noir.

Seriously? Watched this last week and I thought the only interesting part was how he became less and less composed as the movie went on. Everything else I've seen done much better in other movies

a shitty flick from a french hack you should skip

Nah kiss me deadly was a bit weak you can watch something better.
Appearantly when they released the movie it was controversial because it featured a marriage between a mexican man and an american woman aside form that it wasn't that special even then.

just watched this. what a bizarre movie, but so good.

Murder by Contract
99 River Street
The Harder They Fall
Deadline USA
The Lineup
The Sniper
While The City Sleeps
Underworld USA
The Prowler
Killers Kiss

are all imo pretty underrated film noirs

absolutely pleb

Late 30s - Late 50s so twenty years
That's not really too short for a film movement. The French new Wave was like 5 to 7 years.

Damn son, according to imdb I saw 36 noir films
Was a long time ago tho

the big heat

I'm not entirely sure if people could classify The Sleeping Car Murders as "noir" since it is an incredibly vague genre, but for a black and white non-clean cut police investigation, it's great.

fun-wise: The Big Sleep
otherwise: Double Indemnity

Oh and "Out of the Past" isn't bad either, but the ending would've had more impact had it been set up in a more streamlined manner.
The plot is still not as much of a clusterfuck as "The Big Sleep" of course. I prefer that movie nevertheless.

The Night Of The Hunter but I like Blade Runner a lot

In no order

The Big Sleep
Out of the Past
Sweet Smell of Success
Maltese Falcon
Casablanca
The Third Man
In A Lonely Place
Mildred Pierce
Key Largo
Murder, My Sweet
Dark Passage
The Night of the Hunter
White Heat

Bogey was undoubtedly the King of Noir.

god everyone here has fucking pleb taste

Dick yourself, hipster.
