during their marriage, Orson Welles apparently preferred amphetamines and other women.

I'm out of DVR space. The original Postman Always Rings Twice is pretty good stuff. You probably woke up too late to record it.Gonna try to do Lady in the Lake, hear it's a an interesting experiment.Out of the Past, obviously all-time great! Same with The Third Man.Point Blank has a unique place in my heart due to it being remade a million times, semi-sequelized with The Limey, besides already being a cool dark slow boiling revenge journey with Lee Marvin
― Nhex, Friday, 26 June 2015 07:11 (nine years ago) link
From the thumbnail summaries, I think I'll record Woman on the Beach, Act of Violence and maybe Berlin Express. I've seen The Stranger, 3rd Man and Point Blank recently enough to skip them this time.

Lady From Shanghai, total classic.Not in the same league as Gun Crazy, but I like They Live By Night.
― Nhex, Friday, 3 July 2015 00:46 (nine years ago) link
I rewatched Shanghai just a few weeks ago during the Welles Fridays, so I'll pass on that. I've also seen Key Largo, White Heat and The Long Goodbye with in the last few years. I liked Long Goodbye well enough, but don't really grok its classic status, so maybe I should try it again.
― dart scar rashes (WilliamC), Friday, 3 July 2015 01:14 (nine years ago) link
white heat and they live by night are the standouts for me
― wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 3 July 2015 01:18 (nine years ago) link
they live by night is very powerful, white heat is "just" one of the most sheerly enertaining movies ever made
― wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 3 July 2015 01:19 (nine years ago) link
like i don't like noirs so take that w a grain of salt but marlowe is a good movie
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 01:19 (nine years ago) link
I doubt I have to tell anyone to watch The Lady from Shanghai or White Heat if they haven't seen them, but I don't think that Key Largo gets quite the respect that it deserves, and The Big Clock is one of my very favourite underrated noirs.
― The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Friday, 3 July 2015 01:22 (nine years ago) link
white heat isn't a noir! it's just a fucking awesome gangster movie.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 3 July 2015 04:42 (nine years ago) link
unless any movie about criminals is a "noir," which is dumb.
I think Cagney's mommy issues push it into noir territory. Total prototype of a David Lynch creep.

This looks like the most authentically noir lineup yet. Raw Deal got remade as Point Blank and Payback, right?

i kinda doubt it -- it predates the novel the other two are based on.
Side Street is a keeper
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 10 July 2015 12:10 (nine years ago) link
Agreed. Kiss Me Deadly is crazy, great OTT pulp cheese, and that ending is unforgettable. Often known now as "the movie Tarantino stole the suitcase gimmick from in Pulp Fiction".On Dangerous Ground is really great too IMO. Ida Lupino, Robert Ryan, kind of proto-Coens in the atmosphere.
