I thought Brick was pretty neat. Worth mentioning

I don't understand when people say that Metropolis is Lang's best film, when it's clearly M
>>83156734
Seen this one already. A masterpiece. A silent film that packed a knockout blow.
Reminder that TCM's iOS app, website OnDemand stuff is a great resource for film noir. Gilda's on there now.

Probably cause Metropolis is and was a blockbuster. Very grand in scale. M is better though I agree. Both are amazing.

never seen it, thanks for the rec

To Have and Have Not.

AW SHEEIIT! Didn't see your post, just posted this one. Great movie, and wonderfully quotable.
Don't die

>not actually noir
Friendly reminder noir = 1944-1955 with some exceptions like Maltese Falcon and Touch of Evil
>>83162214
Neo-noir is a subcategory of film noir
>>83156835
M is not a silent film. You might be thinking of Metropolis.
>>83156029
maybe not the best but it's up there.
