  • Since you like Psycho, I’d recommend Peeping Tom by Michael Powell or several movies by Mario Bava from the era like The Girl Who Knew Too Much and Blood and Black Lace. Eyes Without a Face is also Great. Also Rosemary’s Baby and Repulsion by Polanski. For Japanese Films you should check out Yojimbo, Sword of Doom, and 2 by Seijun Suzuki ; Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter. Also check out Dr. Strangelove by Kubrick and if you like New Hollywood westerns , etc Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch are requisites. French New Wave stuff is important so maybe Breathless and Band of Outsiders and of course Melville’s “Le Samourai.” Spaghetti Westerns were very influential and Leone’s Man With No Name Trilogy ( A Fistful of Dollars, For a few Dollars More, The Good the Band and the Ugly ) and Once Upon A time in The West are a good starting point. There are so many but those are a few recommendations that might send you down further rabbit holes.





  • It could, that’s a good observation. I thought about sharing it to the Lunarpunk community but the two genres are so inextricably linked in terms of fiction that it can be hard to pinpoint a distinct dividing line between them. The other mod in that community and I were both just mentioning the possibilities that still remain in Lunarpunk as it’s still a nascent subgenre and aesthetic so I wouldn’t rule it out. With Lunarpunk’s tendency to be more introspective and spiritual that could match with Noir’s existentialism and fatalism although its iconography would probably look a bit different and need an update.
