However, thanks in large part to a successful revival of the genre in the 90s, the neo-noir became a reliable and established genre poking through independent cinema while also finding success in the studio system. Repurposed in color, but with the same moody scores, femme Fatales, and average men who were caught in a web of criminality where fate seems to be reaching a violent and grim endpoint. The bleak nature of noir always finds surprising success. With new faces and perspectives to help guide the narrative in a different direction like Bill Duke, Carl Franklin, and the Wachowskis, the noir got a facelift, making it one of the best kinds of films for a decade ripe with gems.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --> <span class=\"related-single\">Related: Best Film Noirs of the 40s &amp; 50s, Ranked<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- Zone: native in content. --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"memento\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Memento\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">10 <\/span> Memento<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Momento-Summit-Entertainment-.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Summit Entertainment&amp;nbsp;&quot;\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Momento-Summit-Entertainment-.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Momento-Summit-Entertainment-.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Momento-Summit-Entertainment-.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Momento-Summit-Entertainment-.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Memento \" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Momento-Summit-Entertainment-.jpg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Summit Entertainment\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Christopher Nolan has gone on to make epic blockbusters on original ideas, of a size not many can claim except for maybe Steven Spielberg and James Cameron.
