Film Noir
I'm a huge fan of film noir. Above is a still from "Dark Passage" which, in my estimation, is the best bogie/bacall flick and one of the best movies ever made.
I just saw this movie "Brick". I downloaded it from bittorrent and watched simply because to the best of my knowledge it never played in this area. It was a stunning achievement in a relatively new category of Neo Teen Noir entertainment. I'm a big fan of Veronica Mars and this movie is somewhat in the same vein. It got me thinking back to my favorite noir movies, so I've complied a list of Noir movies that, if you're a fan of Noir, you simply must see... If i've missed somthing, please feel free to drop me a line.
