Casablanca War film...YES Film Noir...NO Show your argument.
11. Touch of Evil
How about we make #5 The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 & 1981?
The very thinnest of arguments; all films on the list are listed under the film noir genre on IMDB except Casablanca. I admit, I will have to think about exactly why I don't consider it noir. It's a Drama/Romance/War film that is wearing noir clothes. It's way too hopeful of a film to be a noir. Rick is the anti-hero sure but by the end he's sentimental and does what's best for everyone else besides himself. And Ingrid Bergman is not a femme fatale. If anything, she's the very opposite of a femme fatale.
Says who?!?
Besides It's not on any Film Noir list of movies I know of.
Show me a listing & I will agree.
Per https://suzannemorris.wordpress.com/...and-film-noir/...
Casablanca is generally not considered as film noir film, however the film demonstrates similar visual and Mise-en-scene techniques and styles. Casablanca uses very dark, low-key lighting with heavily use of shadows and fog. Low-key lighting and shadows are used in various mid-shots and close-ups of Rick sat at the bar, drinking and showing emotions of misery and sadness. By showing Rick in this way it emphasises themes of conflict and corruption – a key element within Film Noir films.
But, I'll tell you guys what. Have fun. :-)
Just asking...They both seem to QUALIFY.Says who?!?
"CASABLANCA IS GENERALLY NOT CONSIDERED AS FILM NOIR" What more can I say?Per https://suzannemorris.wordpress.com/...and-film-noir/...

Therefore if it's Noir status is in question it can hardly qualify as one of the top 13.
One of the BEST FILMS EVER MADE....YES! ...But NOIR...no.
Too bad.

Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.
You can't ignore my girth.

It is a very anticlimactic moment when you think about it.
