Sully... I must admit it has been many years since I have seen it. However, I am interested in watching it again simply to research how the film handles the concept of different groups of people wanting the same thing that may or may not have any real importance other than driving the story forward (AKA the McGuffin.)
I re-watched the new Indiana Jones film the other afternoon just because I wanted to see how they introduced Irina Spalko (the Cate Blanchett character.) I am weird like that... I will watch something just to see a specific few minutes or scene or even an cut.
Other films (noir or otherwise) that pop to mind:
Sunset Boulevard (duh!)
Chinatown (easily in my top five)
The Tunnel Brilliant! A fantastic film! 2001 German with subtitles
Confidence with Edward Burns. Pretty good.
Tell No One America is remaking this French film. They will probably ruin it. The original is great.
Inside Man Spike Lee did a nice job on this one.
The other obvious ones... Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, Rope (Yep... I like Hitchcock!) Shaun of the Dead. Very Fun and funny and Hot Fuzz. Same team and pretty funny.

Sully... The Apartment is a great one! I need to watch that again as it has been years. Have you seen Madame X with Lana Turner? It is a bit late to be noir (1966) but as I recall from film school it had that feel to it. How do you feel about Japanese films? If you haven't seen these... you should.
High and Low by Kurosawa. A wonderful crime drama.
The Fortress Even Lucas admits he stole many ideas for Star Wars from this!
Rashomon Another Kurosawa film that should be on any top ten list.
Joey.F... Another good one! The North Face was nicely filmed and acted. Interesting to contrast the reality of that with The Eiger Sanction.
Treez... I wanted to like Cedar Rapids but maybe I was just not into it the night I rented it.
Pud... Can't go wrong with Taxi Driver!
Josh... Not a huge sci-fi fan and Tron just looked like way to much CGI for me.
I had planned to watch Your Highness tonight but the rented disk just made horrible wobbling sounds in my Blu-ray player. I guess it was a sign. Instead we watched a fairly new Keira Knightly film called Last Night. It made for interesting discussion between my wife, daughter and I about being faithful in a marriage and which character had committed the biggest mistake/crime/sin in the film. A good film that ends exactly as it should.

Just saw the movie "Buck" at the local Indie theatre. I am not a "horse person" per se, but was totally captivated by the story.

Tank Girl
Whoo Hoo! They used to play that every Tuesday night at the gym I climbed in. Called it "An Evening of Estrogen" And if you liked Tank Girl, you should definitely watch "Six String Samurai."
But tonight was totally retro for me. Watched "West Side Story." First time. Amazing film.

"Seraphine" (2008) - the story of Seraphine de Senlis. She was a washerwoman in
rural France before the Great War who started painting in response to the
Virgin Mary's instructions. It is an incredible film. I think it just made my top 10 of all time.

What About Bob. It's weird... movies I remember as being really funny are now mildly okay and slow-paced 10 years later.
