The Big Noirvember 2025

It's Noirvember again! And I'm late once again. I don't expect to finish on time but I'm here for the love of the game and because I've been slacking on the movie-watching front.

Skewed a little more neo-noir by default this time, but I'm trying for a healthy mix of old and slightly less old. I don't think this list is final, I had trouble finding some things last year and am expecting to make substitutions. Original challenge here: boxd.it/P8NwQ

(I really wanted to write this in the style of a detective monologue, but I'm still finalizing the list as I write the description here).
