Dark City sounds interesting.

I love Dark City but... - Harmonia 16:01:53 06/12/06 (1)
...it's more scifi fantasy than it is true noir. A bit Lynchian too, rather different type of flick than the Matrixes.
It is "dark" however, quite literally, lol.

  Harmonia,
  Yes "Dark City" is sci-fi fantasy, but also I think of noir as generally a look at lives and events in the "shadows" where there's moral uncertainty, emotional tensions and realignments, -where motivations and actions aren't clear. In my view, noir doesn't have to be literally dark, but I see noir as more a general air of veiled mystery. Under that use of the term, I think "Dark City" can fit into both categories.
  
  Cheers,

ArdRi,
If you have HBO or perhaps it's Starz, "Dark City" has been on the past of weeks and though it's not perfect, it's intriguing and very mysteriously atmospheric. I liked the premise of the orignal "Matrix", but I think "Dark City" is an equally interesting concept of an alternate reality.
Cheers,
Bambi B
