Some ground rules:

2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it!

Noir Films Recs

I've been watching a few noir films lately and I've gotten really interested in them and would love any recs you guys can give! Any time period is fine, and if there is purism about noir, just know that I do not know or care about any purist arguments.

I don't know if these count, but I liked L.A. Confidential, The Grifters, and The Usual Suspects (I think they would probably be labeled Neo-Noir).
