Under the Summer of Darkness sub-forum there is a thread about neo-noir films. One of the basic topics is when did the 'classic' film noir era end and when did the neo-noir era start. Various opinions about this (I use 1959 as the end of the classic noir era).
Anyhow a lot of folks post there that really know their stuff as it relates to noir and neo-noir films.
e.g. going on now is a discussion of Chinatown, one of the most famous neo-noir films released in 1974 and if the Dunaway character is a femme fatale or not.
jjg, thanks for the comments and help.

Yes, indeed, my favourite Canadian born actor of all time.
The only movie he liked that he made was Rear Window.
The two television shows are Perry Mason and Ironside.
Your thread.
I'm so glad RB made "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" and brought that franchise over the Pacific. It is flawed compared to "Gojira" but it still was our first.

Folks,
I am AMAZED by the knowledge of the fans on this topic and others here at TCM.
Are there many Canadians posting here? I see some spelling that leads me to believe a number are from Canada or the UK.
One of the best decisions I made in life was to take a job right after college in Canada and work there for almost 4 years. It was great life experience even though only a 4 hour drive to my family in NY. That was definitely good preparation for living in Japan 10 years later.
And these message boards are a fun learning experience.

On a totally separate note = I always think of film noir as a type of 50's movie in B&W where the protagonist isn't a good guy and the themes are pretty dark.
Just my non-educated comment:
I think Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" is a kind of a film noir made in the 70s and in color. I have seen it a number of times and enjoy the "art" of the film but find the story depressing and a bit uncomfortable to watch. The same but to a lesser degree with "The Duelists".
Just wonder how you knowledgeable film fans feel about this and if there are other 70's or later films that can be considered film noir.
Thanks.
