In October I’m finishing up all the Best Picture winners and am watching as many classic horror films as possible. In November I’m going to try to work my way through IMDb’s Top 50 Film-Noir list. I’ve seen a handful of these films. I’ll indicate if I’ve already seen it and whether it’s on instant or not.

1. Sunset Blvd. (seen)
2. Double Indemnity
3. The Third Man (instant)
4. The Maltese Falcon (seen)
5. Touch of Evil
6. Strangers on a Train (seen)
7. Notorious (seen)
8. The Big Sleep (seen) (instant)
9. The Big Carnival (not on Netflix AT ALL)
10. The Night of the Hunter
11. The Killing (instant)
12. Sweet Smell of Success (TCM is showing this next week, so I’ll probably watch it then and not part of Noir-vember)
13. Rififi
14. Shadow of a Doubt
15. White Heat (seen)
16. Laura (instant)
17. Out of the Past
18. I Am A Fugitive of a Chain Gang
19. Key Largo (seen)
20. Night and the City (instant)
21. In A Lonely Place
22. The Big Heat
23. The Killers
24. Pickup On South Street
25. The Asphalt Jungle
26. Angles With Dirty Faces
27. Body and Soul (not on Netflix)
28. Scarface (1932) (instant)
29. The Fallen Idol
30. Odd Man Out (instant)
31. Fury
32. Scarlet Street (instant)
33. Deadly is the Female (not on Netflix)
34. The Set-Up
35. Mildred Pierce
36. The Narrow Margin
37. The Woman In The Window
38. Thieves’ Highway
39. The Lady From Shanghai (instant)
40. The Letter
41. Nightmare Alley
42. The Big Clock
43. The Naked City
44. Where The Sidewalk Ends
45. Gilda (seen) (instant)
46. Brute Force
47. This Gun For Hire
48. Spellbound (seen)
49. Murder, My Sweet
50. Leave Her To Heaven (seen)

I doubt I’ll be able to get through this whole list in November. Also, Netflix has A LOT of Film-Noir on instant that aren’t on this list.

So fucking excited for this! I will definitely try to do this with everyone. I love watch-a-thons.
