Although the term film noir was first coined by film critic Nino Frank in 1946 to describe films of the time, the noir genre was revitalized and reformed through 1974's Chinatown after nearly 20 years of unpopularity. While the Neo-Noir Films lack many of the characteristics of classic noir, these films are still very interesting experimentations within the genre even venturing into science fiction noir, and will usually be enjoyed more than the classics by a contemporary audience. These are some great neo-noir films for any who are interested.
