>>222531676I thought the first half hour of Dark Passage was really hot stuff. The rest stays mostly good even if the main mystery fizzles out. After that I'd have to say Payback (1999) THEATRICAL cut is a movie without major flaws masquerading as a typical actioner. It's Mel's homage to noir, truly his because the chud director wanted more of a boring realistic story about a shaved ape who fails and dies.

>>222532209The cool thing about Dark Passage is it takes place in an eerie dystopia namely san francisco at the close of WW2. The rich parade their new tech while silent police legions watch the city for vagrant excess males. The veiled streets, roadblocks, and attractive female terrorists are reminiscent of Battle d'Alger, only in a far greater jewel of empire.

The Long Goodbye is actually the coolest movie of all time.
>>222533211let me guess, you look like a shorter darker version of the main character
>>222533232I wish I looked like Elliott Gould. I'm bald and fat.
>>222533397>>222533211maybe if it had some good needle drops or good kills or lines or twists or side characters or that kind of thing
>>222533442>side charactersWas a young Arnold not good enough for you?
>>222533514>manlet arnold in his prime getting aura mogged by a dyel jewlmao
>>222533514I dont remember the pulling down pants. That's properly called a cameo or lest charitably a background character, not really a side character
Out of the Past, The Big Heat and Too Late for Tears.
I don't know about my favourite, but I bigly enjoyed this one recently
>>222531762That's a close second for me. Out of the Past just barely beats it. Both are fantastic though. >>222531818Based and I hope a fellow Rachel Ward appreciator. She's unbelievably hot in that movie. I'm 100% sure that scene where she gets knocked out in the alley and you can catch a glimpse of her stockings and garter belt as she falls is responsible for my stockings fetish.

>>222531676I have been pondering about it for 5 minutes now. I really can't choose.I guess it would be something along the lines of Chinatown? But there are so many incredible noirs.You've used a still from The Big Combo for this thread, that's an amazing noir as well. I really don't know, there are too many excelltn ones, I would have to name more than one. But Chinatown is definitely a ckntender for number 1.
>>222537231Good until the absolutely cliche ending
>>222536953Fuck yeah!
