Let's build a definitive Neo-Noir List

[The Real Uncle Bob]

Like it says...I'll go first...

[The Real Uncle Bob]

Dennis Hopper-directed noir, The Hot Spot, My favorite of the neos.
and the Coen Bros.' debut, Blood Simple:

[The Real Uncle Bob]

Chinatown

[pterosaur]

Of course, the obvious LA Confidential, Miller's Crossing and The Man Who Wasn't There.

Lists?!, did somebody say lists?!!!

Wooo Hooo.....I have one that I've built over the years -- but it's really long, and populated with some pretty trashy 80s movies. I'm at the in-laws in Pittsburgh for Easter, but here are some that I remember:

Harper and its sequal: The Drowning Pool.
Underworld USA - 1961, Samuel Fuler. (Not on dvd, but currently in rotation on TCM)
The Long Goodbye
Farewell, My Lovely and The Big Sleep, both with Mitchum
Marlowe with James Garner (No DVD)
The Late Show
Hammett
Union City
The Bedroom Window
The Driver
Point Blank

[The Real Uncle Bob]

Funny that Farewell, My Lovely isn't available, I just downloaded it through a library service.. Holds up way better than The Big Sleep.

"Farewell, My Lovely" just became available as an instant watch on Netflix. They seem to have added about a hundred new "instant watch" offerings overnight, with some links to Starz, and fortunately, this is among them. Watching this will be my reward for finishing another section of a grant proposal (which I am avoiding by posting these messages . . .)

Oh, oh, oh, I want a copy of your long neo-noir list, including the trashy 80s movies! Maybe you've already done this (I'm going back to the start of threads), but if you haven't, please consider posting your long neo-noir list.

I'll pull up my Netflix ratings on a second moniter and see what neo-noirs (not all of which are very good) I can suggest to others, in a different post.

Underworld, U.S.A. just came out with some other Fuller films. The Crimson Kimono is another "new" one of his that's worth a look.

[The Professor]

Whoah, I forgot Manhunter. Talk about obsessed heroes.
Charley Varrick
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (Alas, still no DVD)
The Split (Robert Duvall, no DVD)
Thieves Like Us
The Grifters
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Fargo
The Ice Harvest
Klute
The French Connection I & II
Twilight
Night Moves (Awesome)
and the amazing The Conversation
Lest we forget Dirty Harry and all of his sequels...
Brick Interesting movie, get it if you haven't yet...
Taxi Driver

Here are some more from the trashy 80s category. (Maybe a few from afterwards as well.) I won't include NF links for these as they are widely seen:

great shtuff!

The list so far

[The Professor]

Hey Bob, that's brilliant! Check your versions of Twilight, (Even though that Iranian film looks interesting as can be), Taxi Driver, and Black Widow.

[The Real Uncle Bob]

The Bollywood taxi driver! How did I fall for that? Added Iranian Twilight to my queue, booted it from the list. Try it now.
