MannVanuary1 - Hooptober's Strangely Named Cousin

From Cinemonster, original list here.

Probably won't have the time to review every film like I try to do during Hooptober, especially considering my late start. I'm just happy to expose myself to more Westerns and noir!

Anyway, nothing crazy. 24 films and 2 bonus. What is listed below are the minimums. Use the 'categories' to get to 24, but hit those minimums. Use tag 'mannvanuary1'


1 Anthony Mann Film
1 Melvin or Mario Film
1 Black Western
4 decades (western)
5 films from Black directors
3 westerns from the following: Corbucci, Daves, Martino, Peckinpah or Boetticher.
4 decades (noir)
4 noir films from: Siodmark, John Dahl, Lang, Ray, Carl Franklin

BONUS - 1 Jamaa Fanaka film and Miami Blues

We'll start Jan 1 and end Jan 31. See you on the other side.
