Serious answer now.

Do you really not know much about Film Noir?

Have a look at the Down these Mean Streets thread. Down These Mean Streets A Man Must Go - The Film Noir Thread

It's a clumsy title but there are a lot of good films reviewed in it from last November (Noir November). The first page lists several brilliant films. Knowing what i do about what you enjoy, i'm sure it's a genre that you'd appreciate.

Cradle of Fear
A Clockwork Orgy
Bruno Mattei's Island of the Living Dead
Van Helsing

It could be an endless list.

I don't know if Dr Strangelove and The Great Dictator would count, being satirical films, or whether it would have to stick to films parodying other films/directors/genre tropes.

Not really. I'm certainly not that up on what is or isn't. Certainly wouldn't class Fargo as noir. Dark, serious, b&w. Thats about it. Touch of Evil, Odd Man Out that sort of thing.

I think its initially thought of more as a siege or terrorist film. But it is a hiest film.

I think of it as an action film rather than a crime movie but, as it features a robbery and police, it easily fits the criteria for this week. I've no idea why I didn't even consider it for my list.

I did (briefly), although, for me, it didn't fit the criteria enough to qualify.
