#NoirvemberChallenge Day 26: Favorite #NeoNoir - Heat (1995)

There’s no question. I love this film. My all time favorite DeNiro film. It’s also among the late Val Kilmer’s best roles.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 23: Favorite #FilmNoir supporting/character actor who steals every scene. - Van Heflin,

Heflin is great in every film but in particular as Jeff Hartnett in Johnny Eager (1941).

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 22: Favorite Musical Performance in a #FilmNoir - Odds Against Tomorrow (1959)

I love this club scene with Mae Barnes singing "All Men Are Evil". The smoke a perfect (though unhealthful) addition for the ambience.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 21: Favorite #FilmNoir made outside the U.S. - La Otra (Mexico, 1946)

With the lovely Dolores Del Rio playing the role of twins.

"Lucky at cards, unlucky at love. It's a good thing I'm not, isn't it?"

#Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 19: Favorite Boxing #FilmNoir:

I'm going to give some love to 99 River Street (1953) because I know another title will get the most love.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 18: Favorite #FilmNoir MacGuffin:

The lighter from Strangers on a Train (1951)
Hitchcock was a master at the MacGuffin.

#Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 17: Favorite #FilmNoir Duo:

Bogie and Bacall (naturally). Appeared together in four films noir:
1. To Have and Have Not (1944)
2. The Big Sleep (1946)
3. Dark Passage (1947)
4. Key Largo (1948)

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 16: Lesser known #FilmNoir everyone should see. Lured (1947)

Starring everyone's favorite red head. Lucille Ball had good dramatic acting chops and is quite witty in this film.

#Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 15: #FilmNoir character I'd trust least with my secrets? This pair pretty much brought down a whole operation: George and Sherry Peatty (Elisha Cook, Jr. and Marie Windsor) in The Killing (1956)

1. Sterling Hayden

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 13: Favorite Low Budget B #FilmNoir - Detour (1945)

Is there any other choice?

#Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 12: Sexiest #FilmNoir - Human Desire (1954)

The title says it all. Add Gloria Grahame to the cast, and it’s bound to be steamy. I’m not much of a Glenn Ford fan but I definitely found him hot in this film.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 11: Favorite Bar Scene/Cocktail in a #FilmNoir - The Blue Gardenia (1953)
As a tiki-phile, this scene is my absolute favorite. The bar furnishings! Nat King Cole on keys! The drink: Polynesian Pearl Diver!

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 9: Favorite Dan Duryea #FilmNoir - Too Late for Tears (1949
#Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 8: Favorite Line in a #FilmNoir - Laura (1944)

Ahhh Waldo Lydecker. Always had a way with his words.

“I'm not kind, I'm vicious. It's the secret of my charm.”

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 7: Favorite #FilmNoir Dream Sequence -
Dark Passage (1947) as Bogart's character goes under for his surgery. "Got the Money?" #Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 6: Coolest #FilmNoir Character -
The eponymous Nora Prentiss (1947)
Ann Sheridan just portrays her so cool throughout the film. Love her! #Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 5: #FilmNoir I’d introduce to a newbie -
Stranger on the Third Floor (1940)
Visually stunning, investigative plot, emotional turmoil, suspense. It’s all there. A must see #Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 4: #FilmNoir Ahead of its Time -
All the King's Men (1949)
I saw this political noir at Noir City a few years ago, and I walked out depressed. I felt like I was watching the makings of our current administration. Still very relevant today. #Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 3: #FilmNoir That Made Me a Fan -
The Big Sleep (1946)
I'm a fan of Raymond Chandler and have read all his books. Though I was already a classic film fan (which included noir), this brought me to a deeper dive. #Noirista #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 2: Favorite #FilmNoir Character Introduction -
Marie Garson in High Sierra (1941)
There is something about Ida Lupino’s expression and her eyes. A subtle strength and defiance. Always liked this introduction. #Noirista #FilmSky
