I jumped the gun by saying that was my final list, so just ignore that I said that. I'll wait a while till it's closer to the end before I make it a final list.

It's all good. I want everyone to feel free to make all the changes they want. Once I saw the first changes to your list, I assumed it wasn't final till further notice.

I hate that too. I'm including it because it's one of movies most closely associated with neo-noir, but no other sci-fi. I wouldn't even say it's super noirish. It's obviously in the tradition of hardboiled detective movies, which count but aren't one of the most noir subgenres to me, and, of course, it also has that great futuristic noir look.

at the end of the day its still a tech-noir

It's on my list. Why do you have put a label on everything, man? Why can't things just be? Laughing

(Said the person who started the most pretentiously-named film poll on here.)

Is tech-noir the same as future-noir? I put one on my list that I wasn't too sure about putting until I saw it tagged as "future-noir" by Allmovie, and I thought that's good enough for me.

future-noir is just a derivative name for tech-noir, so, yes

I looked at the list of "neo-noir" filims on wikipedia, and Zootopia was on the list.

It's totally going on my final list.

Here's a bit of a list. Still sorting out what should and shouldn't be on it. The wikipedia list is kind of shitty.

L'Argent's an amazing choice. Did consider it for the foreign list I made, but wanted to keep it at 25 and wasn't sure anyone would vote for it. Going to have to add it to my list next time I revise it.
