Top 10 Neo-Noir Films

Countdown #361

 

Top level Patron to the show, Geordie Davidson, furnished the boys with this week's topic: The Top 10 Neo-Noir films. Actually, he wanted the guys to do the Top 10 Noir Films, but given they could barely muster ten that they'd seen between then that pre-dated 1960, the philistines instead brokered the topic to be a little more contemporary.

 

Anyway, to make it harder, Wayne somehow talked Paul into only counting films that displayed a prominent use of shadow, featured a protagonist in over their heads, and employed a femme fatale character in a major role. The problem being this made it way TOO hard, and this Episode is the result of TRYING to meet this brief...

 

Will Paul and Wayne maintain their cordial cease fire at one another given the difficulty of the topic? And who will screw the brief up harder while making the case for some "interesting" neo-noir films?
