This is the first week of our new contest that continues from the Madness. This is a new contest that focuses on the world of Film Noir and everything around it. I never realized how broad Noir really is and intend to make some unusual selections. This will be a similar format that we do with the Madness and these will come out on Tuesdays this month.
ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Alfred is not a wild card but is a big part of this contest so I gave the Master of Suspense his category
Alfred Hitchcock Presents: A Little Sleep Season 2, Episode 38 (1957, 66 1/2): Bored rich girl decides to go up to her cabin in the mountains and comes to wish she would just stay home. This was a very popular anthology series which was always hosted by Alfred himself in his usual opening line of "good evening" and would always end the episode with a message of sorts.
-25 minutes
Psycho (1960, 666 1/2): This has a good amount of mystery to it to qualify. Hitchcock directed this psychological thriller and one of the closer films he did to actual horror. This is a story about a mother and his son and man's best friend is his mother.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010, 66): Connie co-stars in this horror remake as Nancy's mother who knows more that what she is telling about her daughter and other high school classmates being attacked in their dreams. I suppose this could be referred to as Dream Noir.

-San Francisco

This is a series of 27 DVDs that Fox released at one point. I envisioned doing them all in Noirvember but I doubt that will happen. I do intend to watch these in order however long it takes.

Boogie Nights (1997, 666 1/2): Heather co-stars as Rollergirl in this film on the adult film industry. I feel this should get some base points for trying to scam a drug dealer and everything going wrong. There is also a convenience story robbery making things pretty intense.

This has a little noir to it with the four guys waking up in the ultimate hangover and having to piece together everything when their friend Doug is missing.
