Film Noir & Nolan

[10thAvenger]

Favorite is Blade Runner, because it combines Science Fiction with Noir. It also has what is to me, one of the greatest, if not the greatest scores in movie history.

Couldn't agree more mate. Vangelis's score is simply sublime, and nearly as emotionally charged (for me anyway) as Hans's Inception effort!

I see Casino Royale as a noir film. (don't tell anyone I said that )

In fact, if there were one movie I wish Nolan had directed, it would have been Casino Royale, the story and the themes represented are all very Nolanesque.

This is the most perfect post I have ever seen.

CR seems exactly like a James Bond movie by Nolan.

Plus I love the word Nolanesque, I use it as well.

But nolanesque would probably be written in small letters.

Blade Runner, easily. It's one of the most visually impressive films I've ever seen - how it manages to seamlessly mix an Asianised metropolis in with a noir-ish Los Angeles with some incredible cinematography and effects is beyond me. Also, it presents the many themes of film noir - the search for identity etc. in original and exciting ways.

I adore Blade Runner but if you want the perfect noir movie it would be The Chinatown wich is also one of Nolan's favorite movies and I think it defines the genre, probabaly the best american noir film of all time. £

Sin City - That's the movie that defines Neo-noir for me. Black and White / Lighting / Cinematography / Characters / Plot

Then you don't know any good Noir's

My favorite is Dark City... has anybody else seen it but me?

[10thAvenger]

Dark City's a great film...

L.A. Confidential is a damn fine noir
