MannVanuary: Origins (2022)

31 days. 24 movies (plus two bonus movies that I'll add if I have time). Westerns, noir, and Black film are all categories that I've admittedly seen very little of so I'm excited to fill in some of these blindspots. Shoutout to Cinemonster for putting this challenge together. Here are the requirements taken from his original list:
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
