I've already listed my Top Five Noirs in my Lists Intro. But here they are again with five more to make ten.
Last Summer I participated in the online class TCM did in conjunction with their Summer of Darkness. You can see the posts I did for that here. I was hoping for another class this summer, but I haven't heard anything so I don't think they are having one.

Ack! There are 4 here I haven't seen yet!
ReplyDeleteI saw the noir blogathon button in your sidebar and followed it and somehow now I've signed up to review two Alan Ladd noirs. The week after I get back from vacation. I'm clearly mad. But... noir!!!
I've been having this problem lately of signing up to do two entries for almost every blogathon I come across and then hating myself when the day arrives :/
DeleteNot usually a problem for me, though I did do that for the Silver Screenings' "Imaginary Film Blogathon" a couple years ago. But I was having the most horrible time deciding if I wanted to write about The Blue Dahlia (I like it okay, but I love Raymond Chandler, who wrote the screenplay, and it's pretty famous) or The Glass Key (I like the movie better overall, but it is very nonsensical in some ways). Finally, after like half an hour of dithering, I gave up and decided to do both. It's a 3-day event, so that makes it sliiiightly better, I think?
DeleteI just get really excited and then when it rolls around the excitement has been replaced for a future blogathon haha. And you have some time to write them!
