A definitive L.A. Noir "Top Ten"?
I'd like to make a suggestion – that the principal participants in this thread compile a definitive list of the top 10 greatest examples of L.A. film noir. (Or maybe a top 20, whatever number's appropriate.) I would find this a great help, myself, as I am somewhat of a naif when it comes to this genre, and I'd really appreciate having a best-of-the-best list to refer to for future movie-viewing enjoyment. What do you think? Is a "Best of L.A. Noir" list doable?
-Scott
PS: Some possible criteria to consider:
* Critical acclaim
* Historical city views
* Great performances
* Notoriety
And I'd start off by nominating (in no particular order): "The Exiles," "L.A. Confidential," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Chinatown."
