The only memorable part of this flick was watching Sean Penn getting his loathsome ass kicked.

Film Noir has to include “Chinatown”.
“Cleaning Woman!!!...”
Thank you very much.
I’ll have to plan out an evening to rent it.
One of the best is “Angel Face,” with Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons. I still remember the score by Dimitri Tiomkin...just gets the emotions rolling and you knew something bad was going to happen...but, what and when?
“Night of the Hunter” with Mitchum can still send chills down my spine....Shelley Winters in the river, sitting dead in the car with her hair flowing back, hate and love written on his fingers, grandma sitting at night in the rocker on the front porch with a rifle on her knees, Mitchum slowly walking by the picket fence singing “Leaning, Leaning leaning on the ever lasting Lord...leaning... Chills I tell you, that’s for sure.
Bump for later. Film noir is one of my favorite movie genres.
The original “Postman Always Rings Twice” with Lana Turner and John Garfield is my favorite film noire.

The Killing , by Stanley Kubrick is a winner.
A gang’s plot to rob a horse track goes wrong.
The lovely Delores Del Rio in a dual role as twin sisters watched it on YouTube with subtitles. .
It’s a very good movie. And seeing it through the eyes of the protagonist, Robert Montgomery, is an unusual and fun experience.
