Yes, I think you’re right about Dodgeball. I haven’t seen Othello, so that’s another one to add to the ‘must see’ list. One of my favourites is ‘The Lady from Shanghai’. I think I even prefer that one and ‘The Third Man’ to ‘Citizen Kane’…
Lady from Shanghai- all the mirrors at the end So you are a Welles fan more than a film noir fan? when you mentioned Lady I thought of the Asphalt Jungle. I believe that is a John Huston and well worth a look.
Sure you have already seen, but Fallen Idol was also a good one by Carol Reed.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've never seen that one. I'll check it out - thanks! Just saw Dodgeball though. It's not The Third Man, but it is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteDodgeball :( I do not think it will go anyone's classics list.
ReplyDeleteAlong the lines of the Third Man, ever see Welles' Othello? I do't know how much of the text was cut, but visually it is stunning.

Thanks, I haven't seen that either.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely more of a Noir fan.
There are a great many noir films.
ReplyDeleteI will think of some that I have enjoyed.
Anything with Robert Mitchum is noir.
