I haven't seen Dark Passage, but The Big Sleep is brilliant. The Premium Collection edition also has the 1945 pre-release version, I haven't got around to watching that yet.

If you like film noir, you'll probably want to add these to your collection.

Justin clearly doesn't watch Film Noir or he wouldn't be asking about The Big Sleep.

Maybe it's one which has somehow not been on his buying radar before now.

Hopefully he'll watch and love the likes of that film and the wonderful Dark Passage and decide to walk the dangerous shadowy mean streets of Noir cinema.

The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon would make for a faultless 2 for £15 Premium Collection purchase for anyone new to Noir cinema.

Badlands is a film i've never seen. Is that very good?

WowBobWow · #**437** 6th July 2018, 11:38 AM

Badlands is superb, in my opinion it's the best work Spacek, Sheen, Oates and Malick have been involved in, and by a distance. Probably the best directorial debut of all time.

I really like Badlands too, Sheen and Spacek are great in it.

It's a masterpiece. The flawless casting, hauntingly beautiful score (used to a completely different effect in True Romance) and the way Terrence Malick uses the locations makes for a thoroughly engrossing viewing experience.

I can count the number of noir films I've seen on one hand, but I liked all of them! In fact, Double Indemnity is one of my all time favourite films
