...we got no stinkin' links! (Sorry...always wanted to use that line).

I actually don't have a link, but I can give you some reference books: Film Noir; an Encyclopedic Reference to the American Style, by Silver and Ward. Considered the "bible of noir," and contains many neo-noirs.

Film Noir Guide, by Michael Keaney...the newest book I kow of on the subject...includes some neo-noirs, and is a great read.

Everything about noir-both the classics and neo, is subjective...perhaps one of the most hotly debated subjects in all of film. Is it film noir, or just a dark film. Ultimately, I've found that you have to decide for yourself.

Some others listed: Genuine Risk, At Close Range, After Dark, My Sweet, The hit, Basic Instinct, Betrayed, Body heat, Dead Again, The Driver, Cop, and.....so on.

All the best,

Gary
