# 'Damned' and 'bollocks' should not be in the same person's vocabulary of swearwords.
I like film noir though I think. What is a good film noir?

# Dark Passage.
The Big Sleep....


I love Lauren Bacall.

# I think she might have made it up. I hope so.
Checking.
Edit: ooh, a real film with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Fair enough.

# Classic or Neo noir?
Dead On Arrival is good classic noir. I'm not hugely versed or even fond of a lot of the neo noir stuff though.

# I see no IMDB entry for Dead on Arrival
though apparently it's an alternate title for this:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0078032/ is that what you meant?
...evidently not. Excellent, it's on archive.org, I saw Nosferatu that way.

# Link above. (It's because it's actually called D.O.A. , but that's what it stands for so I presumed it would be listed as it)
You can download it or watch it on the tiny flash player, also if you click the Film Noir collection tag there are a fair few there too.

# Don't forget The Third Man as well, which somehow my brain doesn't catagorise as a noir film because of that jaunty zither music.

# Ha!
Jaunty zither music, can't be bad. Well it could be awful, but in a good way.

Thanks!

It's gonna be a weekly thing, and I can exclusively reveal that week 3 will feature a big fuck-off monster.

# mmmm
start with some Fritz Lang (M or Metropolis)
move to the Lost Weekend by Wilder, via Citizen Kane detour to I am a fugutive from a chain gang arrive at Manchurian candidate and then finally Blood Simple, Chinatown and Sin City

# I saw M, and half of Metropolis
M was bad as a movie, but sort of interesting as a historical document. It also has Peter Lorre in it a lot, running about and having his anxious, slimy, Peter Lorre face, which compensates. Metropolis ... I keep intending to finish watching because it's supposed to be good, but really, meh. Other suggestions there are all interesting, thanks.

# Actually I find I perk up a bit when something is in black and white or technicolor.
New films make me anxious that they will contain macho bullshit, romantic comedy, explosions at regular intervals, cheesy cliches or other crappiness.
