Day 28 #NoirvemberChallenge Film Noir you watch over and over again? Been trying not to pick the same flick twice in one year, but I can't count the number of times I've watched Night and the City.

Day 27 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir scene featuring food? I'm going abroad for this one with Razzia Sur la Chnouf. Not just one scene, the whole damn flick. I refer to it as the story of a guy who eats, fucks and does crimes, and really what more could you want out of life?

Day 26 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite #NeoNoir This year I'm going with The Hot Spot.

Today at the market a woman told me my shirt was cool and a man told me my shirt was obscene and they are both right. I am Schrödinger's Bisexual!

Day 24 #NoirvemberChallenge Best #filmnoir poster, including international prints. "Best" is subjective but here's one of my personal favorites, a Japanese tatekan poster for The Street With No Name. (Thanks to the eagle eye of @keithrainville.bsky.social for this find!)

Auf Wiedersehen, Udo. Time for a rewatch of Swan Song.

Day 23 #NoirvemberChallenge
Which Film Noir actor stole the scene(s) they were in? @ladykdesigns.bsky.social stole my answer with Thelma Ritter and I already used Hope Emerson, so how about Timothy Carey?

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Day 22 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir musical performance. I'm going with Veronica Lake's kinky rubber "fishing" number in This Gun For Hire.

Day 21 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir not made in the USA. I've already listed some of my favorite foreign flicks in other categories (The Bitter Stems, Black Gravel, Pale Flower) so this year I'll go with The Housemaid. It's deeply weird and pervy (complimentary) and you should see it.

Fungus peeping with The Madwoman.

Day 20 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir Gambling Scene? This year I'm going with Pale Flower. It doesn't just have a single gambling scene, the whole damn flick is about gambling, addiction and the existential emptiness beneath it all.

Also, because I'll use any excuse to post this promo shot of Audrey Totter and Robert Ryan.

Day 19 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Boxing Film Noir. Tried to come up with something more obscure, but I keep coming back to my all time fave, The Set Up.
November 19, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Day 18 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir MacGuffin. There are plenty to pick from, but this time I'm going with the top secret microfilm in Pick Up on South Street. And, since I couldn't find a photo of the canister itself online, please enjoy Jean Peters smoking in a bubble bath instead.

Day 17 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir duo.

It's been a sub optimal day, so I'm sticking with my go-to answer for this one. Everybody's favorite gay hitmen, Fante and Mingo from The Big Combo. "I can't swallow no more salami."

... and yes, everything DOES have to be gay, thanks for asking!

Day 16 of the #NoirvemberChallenge Lesser-known Film Noir everyone should see.

My pick is Black Gravel.

Tired: Leaf peeping
Wired: Fungus peeping
