MannVanuary- The First of its Name

The newest challenge from the man who brought us HoopTober. His original post is here. Seeing as how I always want to broaden my film horizons and I made a complete mess of Noirvember, I’m in. As always, I try to pick films that I haven’t seen before which is why I ended up choosing Abduction starring Taylor Lautner for my John Singleton movie. 

The criteria:
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


Time starts January 1, 2022 and ends January 31, 2022.
