I lost my mother unexpectedly today (left, with my late Aunt Marcia). I feel like my life is over.

Lesser known Film Noir I would recommend is The Prowler, the first film to be restored by the Film Noir Foundation.

I'd probably end up in a Philly hospital being stitched up in 12 different places if I went to Noir City Philadelphia.
Because I would be wearing my blue velvet dress and possibly shouting JA-RED GOFF. #Noirvember #NoirCity

If I was at Noir City Philadelphia I would end up in the hospital being sewn back in at least 12 different places.
Because I would have worn blue dresses and be chanting:

Of course, I'm now tempted to put together a bunch of themed groupings. How about Women Over Forty Noir Rushmore? Thelma Ritter, Gloria Swanson, Hope Emerson, Elsa Lanchester.

It's Day 14 of the #NoirvemberChallenge Who is on the Film Noir Mt. Rushmore? This one is especially tricky, because it's not asking for favorites it's asking for most objectively iconic and recognizable. With that in mind, how about Bogart, Wilder, Chandler and Alton?

Best B-Noir.
I am torn between Detour and Gun Crazy, so I am posting both.
Both have fierce femme fatales who get what they want--but it proves fatal. Both have suckers who end up in their clutches--and I love to watch them fall.

Lucky Day 13 of the #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Low Budget B Film Noir. I'm going with Blast of Silence. Shot without a permit on the streets of NYC, this ten cent flick is lean and mean, pitch-black and also the best Christmas movie ever made.

Somebody is snoring during a township board meeting. Can't blame them. It's about zoning ordinance amendments.

Sexiest Film Noir is Body Heat (but I am now tempted to watch Bound after seeing other posts)
Also has my favorite neo noir quote.
