My latest catch from the library:

Sweet Smell of Success
Tokyo Story
Barney's version

As always there's no guarantee they won't bee to scratched to watch. But provided they work, which movie should I prioritize if you were to decide?

I quite liked Barney's Version, but yea, pretty sure I would watch the other two first as well. For sure.

I just realized I got Barney's Version mixed up with Benny's Video.  I haven't seen Barney's Version.

Birthday money/ Noir-vember tie-in.

Which of these fits Noir-vember better? Quai des brumes or Le jour se leve? I think Gabin is pure noir. I'm leaning Qdb at the moment.

I prefer QDB, but LJSL has a more direct tie-in to noir, it was remade as The Long Night.

I vote Le jour se leve. I'm not nearly as fond of Quai des brumes.

iTunes has a surprisingly cheap hd version of Qdb & LOVEfilm are sending Ljsl next. So, sometime this weekend I'll double bill them!
