It's Noirvember! Here are 5 great noir films to watch this month



Rebecca



One of my favorites! Based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, this moody movie follows a woman who moves into her new husband's estate, but the shadow of his first wife, and the mystery surrounding her death, looms over the grounds.

Strangers on a Train



Another Hitchcock film. Two strangers meet on a train, each dealing with someone in their life causing problems. A deal is proposed to kill the other person for each other. One man thinks it's a joke, but to the other it's very real.

The Third Man



The quintessential noir film starring Orson Welles. An American writer travels to Vienna to search for his friend. He's told he was killed in a traffic accident but he smells something fishy and begins investigating through a web of crime and conspiracy.

Blow Out



A neo-noir directed by Brian DePalma and starring John Travolta. A sound effects artist is out capturing sounds when he accidentally records the sound of a politician's fatal car crash, but what he captures suggests it might not have been an accident.

Mildred Pierce



From the director of Casablancas and starring Joan Crawford in one of her finest performances which gave her her only Oscar. The film follows the complicated relationship between a woman and her selfish daughter.

fav noir films?

i also wanted to encourage people to make posts using embeds from facebook or instagram instead of twitter. elon musk has turned twitter into a right-wing cesspool and used it to spread lies and conspiracies during the election that helped elect trump. i know zuckerberg sucks too but lesser of two evils. it's super easy, you just take the link to the post and put it in "insert media". 💙
