Day 26: Favorite Neo-Noir - The Big Lebowski may not be pure neonoir, but it’s close enough for me. It’s a neonoir that took a detour through a bowling alley and discovered transcendental goofiness. The Dude as a stoner Marlowe is all the noir clarity I need. #NoirvemberChallenge

Day 25: Favorite Film Noir on a Boat - The Breaking Point (1950) is my favorite because the plot tightens like a cleat knot. Simple, steady, and suddenly impossible to escape. That final shot of a child on the dock waiting for a father who’ll never return is where it pulls firm. #NoirvemberChallenge

Day 24: Favorite Film Noir Poster - This NIAGARA (1953) poster is pure operatic pulp: Marilyn rising from the falls like a dangerous deity, Technicolor blazing, and taglines promising emotions bigger than nature itself. Glamour and doom in one perfect mid-century fever dream. #NoirvemberChallenge

Day 23: Favorite noir actor who could steal any scene - Thelma Ritter could steal a scene with just a glance or quip. In Pickup on South Street, she makes a stool pigeon unforgettable. In Rear Window, she’s the moral compass and comic razor. #NoirvemberChallenge

Love the quiet gut punch of Double Indemnity: Keyes lighting Walter’s cigarette. No speeches, just a small flame that says everything about loyalty, loss, and the bond he broke. Pure #Noirvember. #TCMParty

Seems like a big missed opportunity not to make this a Wendigo.

Day 22: Favorite musical performance in a film noir - In Rififi (1955), Magali Noël vamps through the film’s lone burst of decadent noise in a film obsessed with silence. Perfect contrast with music as seduction before the world quiets down for the greatest heist in cinema. #NoirvemberChallenge
