'Pickup On South Street' & 'Out Of The Past' & 'The Asphalt Jungle'

With each film, I'm getting closer to watching all the film noir I need to watch. I can't wait.

It's not that it's all necessarily bad. Pickup on South Street is actually pretty good and I enjoyed it a lot. But I don't understand how you can include so much of one genre from one time period as the 1,001 films I need to see.

There's not a ton of differentiation. It's not like The Asphalt Jungle is just 100 times better than any other film noir and vice versa.

It's all kind of there. Taking up space.
