whats the most stereotypical noir movie in your opinion?
None ever struck me as "this is memes this is Reddit this is memes this is Reddit," they all stood on their own without feeling hackneyed. I would say
>Detour
>Double Indemnity
>Kiss Me Deadly
The Big Sleep
The Maltese Falcon
Gaiman wrote a short story "The Case of the Four and Twenty Blackbirds" where nursery rhyme characters are placed in a ridiculously noir setting
The Long Goodbye is amazing because it's Noire + Cowboy Bebop Aesthetic + 70s sleezecore
Too bad it's boring as fuck.

what’s the most noir city in the current year
all big cities are pretty much exactly the same in current year, so, none
Kansas City
If you're sticking to the US, either Chicago or Boston. I'd also say Philadelphia out of love, but it doesn't have a port (which is a underrated aspect of the genre; it feels wrong if there isn't a good warehousing district.)
Absolutely K I N O
