Film Noir...a dead art from?

[Matthew B. Moore]

I guess that would be cyber punk.

 

[spidey]

blade runner is a good choice.

 

[Matthew B. Moore]

I know "House Party"

 

[spidey]

Lol!

 

[Blaine]

Blade Runner?

Especially the theatrical release with the the noir style voice over.

I'm for that. Now I'm going home to think of more.

Here's one I forgot completely about. "Angel Heart" Now I know a lot of people don't like Mickey Rourke, and yes, he's something of a sleeze ball (IMO) but "Angel Heart" was a good example of modern noir. Coincidentally, he was good in "Body Heat".

As soon as I saw the word "Angel Heart" the images began to fly all around my head. Nice call.

Yeah, I had to pull it off the shelf and watch it again.

I just got "Touch of Evil" and watched it for the first time the other day.

Watch that trailer. That movie is definitely noir.

 

[The Machinist]

Thanks for the link.

That looks like alot of fun.

David Lynch's Lost Highway anyone?
It certainly has that creepy moody lighting down, and I've never seen a main character that just keeps going down, down, down!

Touch of Evil is fantastic. I wanted more, or more films like it.
Has any one introduced the other Coen flicks into the thread. "The Man Who Wasn't There" is a given, but what about "Barton Fink" and "Blood Simple". They may have been mentioned already.

 

[The Machinist]

Blood Simple definately.

Barton Fink I'm not sold on. I think Miller's Crossing is more of a noir than Fink.

 

[NO CA$H]

The movie The Faculty is kind of noir, isn't it?

Wild Things feels like film noir too.

 

[Filmjunkie677]

"Blood Simple", one of the greatest films of all time.

"...That's what's f@cking funny!" - Dan Hedaya

 

[Blaine]

Blood Simple definately.

Barton Fink I'm not sold on. I think Miller's Crossing is more of a noir than Fink.

No I don't think Barton Fink fits.

Here's a couple from my collection I feel are must sees:

Out of the Past (Remade as Against All Odds)
The Third Man (my favorite Joseph Cotton performance)
The Asphalt Jungle
Double Indemnity (classic in every way)
Kiss Me Deadly (is it the same thing in the box as Pulp Fiction? )
The Killing (again Tarantino was influenced heavily by Kubrick)

 

[The Machinist]

Third Man and the Killing

Excellent calls Blaine.

 

[Filmjunkie677]

The Narrow Margin is another favorite of mine
