Anyone wanna talk about noir and neo-noir film? Anyone wanna define it? How 'bout some movie suggestions? I'm taking a class on this subject right now, and the whole genre is actually very deep. The Noir Genre has created a whole slew of extremely artistic and thoughtful movies, although some could have been better if everyone just let the director do what he wanted to do (Lady from Shanghai comes to my mind).

Then you have Neo-Noir, throwbacks of the old style of noir. Chinatown, Blade Runner, LA Confidential, Bound, and Fargo all fall into this catagory. These movies are great.

So what makes these movies noir? What is noir? And anyone have anything to share about their own experience with noir film?
