Kino. Planning on rewatching it soon.
>What's the best neo-noir?
Dunno, don't care.
Ryan Long
Noah Bell
This one. Also Taxi Driver is the best neo noir.
Henry Clark
For me, it's Out of the Past. I also really love this and a few others. Maybe I should make a noir 3x3
Lucas Cox

I feel bad not putting Maltese Falcon on here. I also need to rewatch The Third Man because I haven't seen it in like 15 years.

Levi Stewart
this one is listed as a filn noir but I have yet to see it
mentioning because the premise seems interesting, like a proto hitcher with rutger hauer except more realistic ( which was my main complaint with the hitcher)
anyone seen it? thoughts?
Julian Fisher
This one is in my list but I haven't seen it yet. I wonder if it's similar to Detour (which you should watch if you haven't already).
Blake Bailey
I've seen it. It's nothing special. It's enjoyable, but that's about it. It's only noteworthy because it was directed by a woman
Thomas Sanchez
>Detour
thanks for the recommendation
yeah I was afraid it was hyped in the reviews because of "see, women can direct too" feeling they gave me
still, enjoyable is better than nothing so I'll be seeing it
Does Night Of The Hunter count as noir?
Charles Reyes
It does, but just barely. The movie has a certain childishness, a theatricality to it. The protagonists are two children, and Robert Mitchum plays a wonderful villain, but hardly one with that much screen time.
Grayson Diaz
yeah it feels like a fairy tale, but I love it
I'm fairly certain pic related counts

Closer to a horror/thriller no? But my impression of noir is the stock cliche which isn't the case for everyone.
Dominic Torres
I really need to get more into European noir. I've mostly seen Carol Reed's work, but that's about it. Speaking of, it's weird how he made two excellent movies that I love (Odd Man Out and The Third Man, of course) but also one of my least favorite noirs (if you can even call it that), Fallen Idol
Noah Wright
I dropped The Killers. Glacial pacing, and I'm not the biggest Burt Lancaster fan out there. Great list overall tho
Christopher Nelson
Underrated:
Raw Deal (1948)
dir: Anthony Mann
camera: John Alton
Hunter Green
TOUCH OF EVIL
Liam Foster
Is it just me or Fritz Lang's later work nothing special? Sure, he made history with M and Metropolis, but most of his noirs are mediocre or dowright bad, like Woman in the Window
Joseph Torres
I like it for having my man William Conrad in it. Also Ava Gardner is a total smoke show.
Jacob Nelson
People don't talk about The Sniper, D.O.A., Pitfall and Please Murder Me! enough, so I'd say those are pretty underrated
Andrew Mitchell
>Is it just me or Fritz Lang's later work nothing special?
No it's not just you, but I do like Woman in the Window and Scarlet Street but that's more because I love Eddy G Robinson, one of the all time greatest actors imo.
Name a better user of hand gestures, I challenge you.
Colton Miller
Ryder Cruz
Why can't jewlywood cast manly fat guys any more?
Lincoln Murphy
There isn't, and he's pretty good and steals the show, but Woman in the Window might have one of the worst endings ever put to film, and Scarlet Street was a snoozefest

Hands down, the best.
