bryancyr Best of Lists, film-noir, Neo-Noir , ,

Paste has made a list: “The Best Film Noirs of All Time”. This list mixes in classic film noir with more modern neo noir films for an interesting list. I like the films on the list, but may disagree with the order. What do you think of the list? How many of these films have you seen?

Noir author Jedidiah Ayres commented on my “Taste of Cinema’s Best 20 Neo-Noir Films of the 1990’s” post I had earlier in the week. That post is here:

Here is Ayers’ comment on the list: “Not. A. Single. John Dahl pick? No The Grifters, After Dark My Sweet, Lone Star, City of Industry, Little Odessa, The Indian Runner, Fresh, Lost Highway, Hard Eight, Copland? Oh well, controversy is fun. My picks (it woulda been hard to narrow to 20)”

Well I agree with him! Like he said narrowing it down to 20 would be hard, so why not just put all the greats on the list and come up with 90! So here is the link to Ayers’ Top 90 of the 90’s:

I love this list, but I only have one thing to say Jedidiah, how could you have a 90 Best Crime Films of the 1990’s without Fight Club, Silence of the Lambs and Pulp Fiction on the list? Oh well, controversy is fun.

Taste of Cinema: The 20 Best Neo-Noir Films Of The 1990s

Terek Puckett has picked his favorite neo-noir films from the 1990’s and it’s a pretty good list. There are a few films from the Far East I have not seen yet and will be putting in my Queue. There are also a few films that did not make the list that most, including myself, feel should be on it. He explains himself in the opening of the article why he didn’t put some of these on the list. Hopefully you will find the list as entertaining as I did and maybe find a film or two that you haven’t seen or even heard of. Here is the link to the full list:

Terek Puckett is back at it again with The Best Neo-Noir Films of the 1980s. His own rules apply to this list as his last one from the 1970s, where future or historic films are not included in his list, so Blade Runner will be missing in this list. Still a great list with some more films I have forgotten about or didn’t know much about. I added a few new films to my “To Watch” list,hopefully you will find a few films to add to yours.

This list is over at Taste of Cinema and is written by Terek Puckett and is in chronological order. There are a few films on here I have not seen yet and some I have not seen in years. There is also a section of “Other Notable Neo-Noir films of the 1970s” at the end of the article. There are even more in that section I look forward to seeing soon. Puckett does have a weird rule about “excluded from consideration were films that take place in a period setting.” Whether you agree with that or not, there are still a lot of films in here worth watching.
