247 neo-noirs with ratings of 7
Posted by Solomon on 5/12/2019, 12:03 pm
These are films I watched and wrote reviews of that I gave mainly 7/10. About 13 had ratings of 7.5.
If 6 means "good", then 7 means quite good or very good.
There are many neo-noirs that rate 6 or higher that are excluded simply because I didn't review them or assign a rating to them yet.
That issue is ameliorated somewhat by my more lists of those in lower categories.
