Well Mr Poitier could have read a phone book and I would have found it interesting one of the few that could do that and get away with it even at a younger age he already had the Charisma the gravitas to carry on almost anything. It's a damn shame that The Defiant Ones hasn't had a North...

Question for the group, has anyone picked up Kino/Library of Congress restoration of Native Son, it's on a list of titles I am looking at, Eddie Muller says its Noir, watched the trailer, and it looks like a winner.

Don't know about a top 10 list, but still have plans for setting up and doing the "Noirvember" challenge for it's Sophomore year. But last year, some preferred that i make it more open than just physical media. So this year thinking open format, physical, streaming and of course Theatrical if...
