Do You Know Your Film Noir's?

Post by Walter Hale 4 »

How well do you know your Film Noir ?

Film noir refers to movies "marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace, applied by French critics to American thriller or detective films made in the period 1944-54".

Take this Film Noir Quiz and All the Best !

Thanks!

I didn’t know any of the answers :( . My Film Noir knowledge doesn’t run further than the few Indicator boxes I have (Columbia Noir).

Here's another one with 30 questions. Good luck :D

I scored 24 out of 30 !

Quote : "Not bad! You have about an average knowledge of film noir, but we wouldn’t call you an expert just yet. " :(

Some i knew, others i took a lucky guess on but there was two i should not have got wrong as i was well aware of them.
One was a Marilyn Monroe film noir and the other was "Night and the City" film.

Very good list here on the best 100 film noirs and they're not all 1940's and 1950's Black and Whites :D

I confess it's only in the last year or two that I have really started investigating film noirs to any great degree. I got 3, 6, and 9 wrong. And number 1 was right - but a guess.

I have been thinking of importing some of Kino's 3-pack film noir blu ray sets - not least because three classic films for £30 is better than the normal one for £20. But at the moment, there are higher things on my wish list!


Accused of being "a nerd in his 20s." I wish.

Found another film noir challenge - you need to select the missing word to 50 questions and u have 15 minutes to do this.

Good luck ... and Enjoy :D

Can you complete the film noir 1940's movie titles by picking the missing word?

as for me , i achieved 32 out of 50 (66%) with 6 minutes left :(
