10 Outstanding Neo-Noirs of the 2000’s from Listverse.com

I came across this list last night and found it interesting. It’s a great list of films and all are worth watching, if you haven’t seen all of these films yet, you should add the ones you have missed to your watch list. That is not why I found this list interesting. The reason I found this interesting is Tyler Searle, who wrote the list, shows some interesting parallels of each choice to films from the classic film noir era and explains why he put the movie on the list.

The list was written a few years ago in 2012, so it is missing films that came out after that date. That does not make this list less impressive and is worth reading through. I also noticed that Searle called this 10 Outstanding and not 10 Best, so you may argue he didn’t put your favorite film on this list, but I don’t think you can argue that any of these 10 are not outstanding.

Taste of Cinema: 30 Essential Noir Films That You Need to Watch

bryancyr Best of Lists

Taste of Cinema is back with another list! This one is a pretty basic list, I don’t see to many people arguing with this one. I know some may argue White Heat is not a noir and I noticed the photo they are using for D.O.A. is not from that film, but overall a good list.  What do you think?

Top 40 Neo-Noir Films of the 90’s

I came across this video on YouTube and found it very interesting. There are a handful of films on this list I have not seen yet. Overall I liked all the films on this list that I have seen and the order seems to be pretty good. Sure there are a few films I would move up the list and a few I would drop down a few spots, but overall they seem to be in a pretty good order. I have no idea where this list came from or who put together this video, but it is a good one!

Is there any films from the 1990’s that did not make this list, that should be? Some I didn’t see that I felt should be on the list are Dark City, Miller’s Crossing, Le Femme Nikita, Point Break, Pulp Fiction, The Crow, Hard Eight, Fargo, and Bound. I look forward to revisiting some of these films soon, and hope to see the few I haven’t yet.

I came across this tonight on the good old internet. It is a list challenge to see how many of the 100 Greatest Films Noir you have seen. I didn’t do as well as I would have hoped, but that just means there are more great films out there for me to see!

How many of these have you seen?

I don’t know who made this list of 100 films but I’m sure a few people will disagree with some of the choices. I look at it as finding some films I may have missed and will have to check out, and the ones on the list I have seen I really enjoyed. What do you think of the list?

Taste of Cinema has “The 75 Best Neo-Noir Movies of All Time”

Taste of Cinema put together a best of list that will cause many to argue over what is on the list and what is not. Sure I have a few movies I’m surprised didn’t make the list, but I also found quite a few I have not seen yet. Worst case scenario you should find some films you want to revisit or some you’ve never seen that you may want to add to your queue. What is the one movie that did not make this list you feel should be on it?
