To me Gilda is a very expensive film noir - I prefer the B noirs full of B actors giving great performances (although I LOVE Touch of Evil). Actors like Sterling Hayden, Richard Conte, Lawrence Tierney, the great Marie Windsor. I recently saw a heist movie with Mickey Rooney that my brother gave me - just fabulous - filled at Malibu Beach. It was when Mickey was down on his luck, career-wise. My brother and my husband are film noir fanatics.
We’ll have to disagree about The Party. It has some fabulous gags - one with a squab and a lady’s hairdo. We can agree that talking about movies on FR is a losing proposition.
I just rewatched THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, which was even better than I had remember it to be.
THE MASK OF DEMETRIOS, SCARLET STREET, and the mostly forgotten THE SEVENTH VICTIM all tie, for #1, imo.
Yes, THE PARTY has a few funny bits, but none of them are new nor inventive. I just really hate that movie. ;^)
It's a losing cause, to try to have an insightful chat about movies here; present company excluded, of course.
