I love film noir and wish I was in San Francisco for the festival and of course the other delights the city offers.

The most popular film noir festival in the world is back! To coincide with the Noir City Film Festival, coming to the Castro Theatre in San Francisco January 25-February 3, 2013, we are spotlighting film noir "must-sees" for your enjoyment.

We've hand picked a selection of notorious classics and gripping rarities that best capture a genre defined by such characters as the hard-boiled detective, the dangerously alluring femme fatale and the well-heeled villain surrounded by gun-toting thugs.

I love that style of film too. I love the clothes too, and the way there always seems to be a sexually charged undercurrent. Body Heat was a modern film noir that represented that.

Noir is the genre that I hate the worst. It is as if each film was written by the same computer, changing only the actors, BARELY.

And I was dragged as a child to EVERY ONE of them by my mother trying to escape my father.

I became involved in a mini TV series, Mob City, that was great noir..I am hoping it will be renewed. How can you resist a detective named Joe Teague? laugh123
