Paste Magazine's Top 100 Film Noirs

[gsdgsd]

My wife is having our second child next week. That means a) six weeks off work and b) I won't be sleeping much for that six weeks. Happily, Paste Magazine, about which I know nothing, produced a list of the top 100 film noirs recently:

If I was exiled to a desert island and could only take one film genre along -- it'd be film noir. So my goal: to watch (or re-watch, as the case may be) as many of these as I can. In my lifetime, I've seen around 45 of these, but not many in recent memory -- in the last year or two, I've seen Chinatown (#4), Le Samourai (#50, and arguably my favorite film), and The Long Goodbye (#51).

I'm sorta watching alongside my brother and an old friend, so I'm sorta going in order bottom-up (though I already started with #93, so that's blown). Until I lose steam in the project or lose interest in writing about it, I'll share my thoughts here, and everyone can tell me I'm a moron.
