The neo-noir was born, and with it all the genre-blending (and bending!) that ensued.<\/p>\n<p>Which begs the question: what are your favorite neo-noir films of all time? And, although we&#8217;re not going to ask you this in the survey, care to tell us why, in the comments section?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve crafted a pretty heterogeneous list of 20 choices, going from Melville and Truffaut of the French New Wave to Hong Kong hard-boiled classics, staples of the mid-1990s Hollywood renaissance, and even a couple of somewhat recent Korean noir hits. But of course the choice is yours: if one of your favorites is not in the list, feel free to add it in the comments section, so that everyone else can have a chance to check it out. Tell us why you think it deserves a spot in the all time best.<\/p>\n<p>[mlw_quizmaster quiz=3]<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re there, would you like to know more about our own neo-noir films here at VMP Film?
