Film Noir Hall of Fame VI

This will be the sixth Noir HoF I've done, all of them were a blast!...I know people are still watching horror movies for October, no problem as this HoF will start on Nov 1st just in time for Noirvemeber! So you have an entire week to send me your noir nomination by private message.

So what are you waiting for? Send me your noir noms and we'll start on Nov 1st.

So each week we'll watch the same noir. The following week will be a different noir and so on. Keep your nomination private and after the HoF is over I will reveal who picked what noir.

If anyone is concerned that they might not be able to watch all the nominations or can't find them, etc, I can send them the entire list of movies we'll be watching, that list needs to be kept private of course.

These are the film noirs that have been nominated in the last five Film Noir HoFs I don't want to repeat noms for this HoF, so these aren't eligible.

Sorry, you know this is a genre I don't watch from. I have only seen one Noir film I like and it's French. I'm actually a fan of the director.

I'm gonna spend the rest of the year on albums and speedreading, most likely. So I'm declining this one.

EDIT: And late, but, Happy Anniversary!

Do I send you a list of like seven or eight film noir and then when November 1 comes I watch the list of movies to the best of my ability and post on here which ones I've seen?

Will you still reveal all the nominations at the start of the HOF, so participants can watch them at their own pace like for example one or two Noirs a day/night?

I think all 'my' noirs are on that list except for
Panique (1946)
Key Largo (1948)
Bob Le Flambeur (1956)

I would personally count Alphaville (1965), but it is not tagged noir on IMBd, and Wiki only describes it as, " French New Wave tech noir". Aussi, it is outside your time period.

Anyone who joins sends one film noir from 1941-1958 that is tagged noir or film noir at either IMDB or Wiki. It doesn't have to be tagged at both sites just one of them. You send your nomination by PM to me and keep it private.

When Nov 1st comes around this HoF will officially start and I will post one of the nominations for people to watch that week. After we watch it we post our thoughts on it, we do a write-up just something simple it can be just a short paragraph or much longer if you want. The idea is as a group we watch and discuss each nom then when the HoF is over you send in a ranked voting list of all the noms with the noir that you think should win the HoF as your #1. I tally the points and do a reveal of the results, it's like the countdowns we do here in scoring only the reveal happens all at once.

The next week I'll post a different nomination and the group will watch and post our thoughts on each of the

We've always done that before but I want to try this new idea out. But if everyone is on board maybe we could make it two noirs per week?

Discussing only one or two selected Noirs every week, I get that part. I was wondering more about the reveal part, so that participants can watch all the noms at their own tempo but still only post a review once or twice a week and discuss collectively.

OK I see, yes that is doable. On the 2nd post I say anyone who had any concerns could have the entire list of all the noms sent to them by PM, but they still have to keep that list private. And of course do as you suggested still post your thoughts on that weeks noirs. So yes.

Nice In that case, I'm IN!
I'll watch (for the first time) my potential nomination this weekend.

Sounds good!

Very cool, I_Wear_Pants just joined and sent in their noir nomination a great choice btw. Still plenty of time as this will start on Nov 1st, so what are you waiting for, join in the fun already

I might join this one if I can think of a good nomination.

I'm in - got a lucky break in that the film I really want to nominate has never been nominated before. Unless I_Wear_Pants nominated the same film, which would be upsetting as that wouldn't be the first time that's happened to me.
