Past 1964…so out of their self-imposed boundary of “Noir’s best films”…but you’re 100% correct -- nm - Trending Oct 7, 12:51 8
- I didn't see the 1964 bit. I just the "of all time" part. Poor writing IMO. -- nm - sycor Oct 7, 13:09 7
  - 100% agreement—I called it snobby and unnecessary to limit it—but Marlowe called me out for it 🤷‍♂️ -- nm - Trending Oct 7, 13:36 6
    - I agree that they should have said it on top that 1964 was a conceptual cutoff. - Marlowe Oct 7, 13:43 3
      - Im probably being overly critical…it is nice to see some rarely mentioned stuff make the list but “best ever” sticks in my craw— - Trending Oct 7, 14:05 2
        
        I will agree with that. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 7, 14:09 1

    - I'm with Marlowe - mistaken title aside, it was nice to have a list that didn't suffer from the recency effect and I look fwd to the neo-noir list -- nm - Roger More Oct 7, 13:42 1
      - Same. Great list, and I'd love to watch some of the ones I've never seen. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Oct 7, 13:45
Would Gaslight count as noir? B/c what would seem like a big omission. I guess I don't have a good handle on the definition. -- nm - Barony Bunch Oct 7, 12:31 3
- certainly adjacent? on the outskirts? Cukor was definitely on to the trend of the time, influenced by early Hitchcock and the German expressionists. -- nm* - mud Oct 7, 12:36
- I've always considered it be detective films. Google says - sycor Oct 7, 12:36 1
  - You mean private investigators? Protagonist usually wins in detective films. That's pretty much never the case in noir. -- nm* - con_carne Oct 7, 14:40
