Oscar Night Noir At The Bijou

[HarryB]

My good friend Absolutely*Kate has a killer little story theater where the latest Noir is always playing. It is home to Noir writers from around the world who share their short stories. This weekend in honor of the Oscars, she is asking for your Greatest noir Movie of all time and your predictions for this years nominated films (Your story submissions are welcome too). Please stop in and leave your picks in the comments section:

I saw Edward G. Robinson in some old black & white last week. Was just flipping the channels nd ran across it. Great picks Kmadden!

Wait!!!
I want to change my nomination for Best Picture — to "Chinatown" (1974).
Would that be "retro noir"?
