watch more film noir movies

Perhaps I should change this to… see 10 film noir movies this year and keep a running list. Yes. This is what I’ll do. (Suggestions are very much welcome!)

I’ve read a few entries and there are great movie suggestions—-are you all trying to watch the same ones at roughly the same time, or just seeing how many you can get finished??

This year I decided to catch up on Film Noirs a bit. There are still loads to do, so this is both an achieved and desired end. However at a rate of one movie a night I must have caught up on about 40-60 films. Previously my knowledge of Noir was a few hitchcocks, The Malteese Falcon and White heat. Now I’ve seen most of the top rated ones and I can really recommend checking these films out. If you love movies (and more then just mindless action films or cheesey romcoms) you will find it rewarding.

A few I’d recommend seeking out: The Big Sleep, The Asphalt Jungle , The Big Heat, D.O.A., Detour, Gilda, Ride The Pink Horse, The Desperate Hours, The Killing, Out of the Past, Touch of Evil, plus all the hitchcocks and the two I mentioned above and really you can’t go to far wrong with any Bogey Noir.

Watch The Big Sleep with Bacall/Bogart. It is the best.
