The Big Sleep
The Big Heat
The Big Lebowski
screenshotted, much appreciated anons
Enjoy, Anon, there's tons of them out there once you really start digging, and even the crappy ones are enjoyable.
The Big Heat yes
some basics to get you started:
Out of the Past
Woman on the Run
Third Man
Detour
Double Indemnity
Maltese Falcon
Murder, My Sweet
He Walked By Night
another decent 70's noir is Farewell, My Lovely
>Third Man
Third man for sure. Im not really a fan of old movies (Casablanca, Citizen Kane are overrated IMO). Third man is a masterwork
Double Indemnity
Sunset Boulevard
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest for more Jackino.
Dog Day Afternoon and for that matter, anything with John Cazale. Dude literally made 5 Oscar winners and died.
I also wanted to mention that I watched Chinatown for the first time a few years ago and was like, “oh, it’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I feel like I should have known that”
Casablanca is the best
What are some sad detective who's out of his depth noirs?
I like what I call acid-noirs which isn't always detectives but it's some dudes that drink/take drugs, get physically injured, and are always out of their depth. Examples
>Bad Lieutenant
>Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans
>The Big Lebowsk
>Inherent Vice
>Under the Silver Lake
>The Nice Guys
>Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
>Filth
>Something in the Dirt
>Vanilla Sky
>Blow-Up

shieeeet, is that were Nolan got the Dunhier idea from?
picrel is a cool modern noir, but it's not about crime and PIs like Chinatown. i hear Devil In a Blue Dress with Denzel is good too
Unrelated but I just realized I cannot physically find slingblade online anywhere to watch. Stingy studio bastards
L.A. Confidential
This movie is boring trash lmfao
So is your life

You already watched the best noir, nothing else you watch will top it. Double Indemnity is pretty great, though. The Big Combo was okay, too.

literally a troony thread
that's okay with me
My thoughts exactly.
It happens every day.
Who would you cast in a reboot?
Awkwafina as Jake
That way it might actually get made
Is Alphaville any good?
Do you like art films? Then maybe. I don't.
Cheers, lads. I'll give it a miss.
I thought it was funny as a goofy send up/homage to noir, but not as funny as Cheap Detective.
The Man with Bogart's Face is also homage kino.
Great cast in that one, Victor Buono, Herbert Lom, George Raft, Mike Mazurki, etc.
I'm super jelly of his Laura portrait in his office. I want one but I can't find a good enough image of it to print.
It was shit. I watched it twice and although there were some neat parts I picked up on more the second time it was still barely a 4. Anyone who says it’s good is just overrating it because it’s foreign. Watch Le Samourai or Le Circle Rouge

>OP posts a neo-noir film
Plebs need to be gassed.
Frick off.
You'll be first in the gas chamber you salty boy.
This movie sucked.
Frick you Black folk for meming me into watching this.

Night Moves, 1975 starring Gene Hackman
To Live and Die in LA (Friedkin)
Chinatown is a brilliant bridge towards neonoir. the decade before, there was a less known movie called Blast of Silence (rereleased by Criterion) that's very interesting despite not being a major classic. Also, if you want to laugh a bit about the genre's tropes, watch Cheap Detective starring Peter Falk.
Kiss Me Deadly is so brutal for 1955, wonder what the audience thought back then
Touch of Evil
