Favorite Film Noir movie?

[mrhappyface]

What is your favorite Film Noir movie? My personal favorite is the Big Sleep. It's kind of weird though, because everyone LOVES drinking in the movie. The main character carries around a whiskey bottle in his pocket!

I haven't seen as much noir as I'd like but, Double Indemnity.

 

[Timotei]

My answer is simply Blade Runner. Nuff said.

 

[Sporky111]

My vote has to go to The Secret of the Sauce. Seriously.

 

[BonsaiK]

I think probably Nadja and Blade Runner are the best modern ones I've seen. Can't say I really get into the originals, I think the early noir films have dated badly.

Maltese Falcon, does not get better than Humphrey Bogart.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

I shall state that mine is The Stranger On The Third Floor.

 

[AvsJoe]

Does Renaissance count? The French black and white animated movie?

 

[Skuffyshootster]

I think Sin City counts as noir, right?

 

[madcap2112]

Maltese Falcon, does not get better than Humphrey Bogart.

Amen to that.

I think Sin City counts as noir, right?

I think some would call it "neo-noir", but sure. It borrows heavily from that style.

For another modern noir, I like "Brick".

My favorite RECENT film noir movie would have to be Oldboy, with Watchmen coming in at a close second.

The fact that you had to even ask that is kinda scary......[small]it does, btw[/small]......

 

[GreyWolf257]

Take any noir by Tarantino. I really enjoy his work.

Oh yeah? Well you're...you're scary too!

EDIT: In my defense, the "noir" genre is kind of hard to define.

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Chinatown. Ol' Jack Nicholson is a god among men.

But that being said (and for some reason I hate saying it as it's so modern) my ultimate favourite is Brick. Watch it right now if you haven't before.

Ninja'd. But seriously, the idea of a noir set in a modern high school is strange, but they pulled it off wonderfully.

"Out of the Past". Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas in love with the same woman. Best film noir dialogue ever written.

 

[Jiggabyte]

Brick, I suppose. The few classics I've seen didn't stand out as much as that film.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

Maltese Falcon, does not get better than Humphrey Bogart.

Damn straight, I watched that yesterday!

Another good un is The Third Man

 

[ribonuge]

Chinatown with Jack Nicholson. I love that movie.
