Movie: Brick
This is an outstanding movie. The dialogue is quick, crisp, and intelligent, and is thoroughly rooted in the film noire, hardboiled-detective tradition. The fact that it's set in a high school seems to be incidental at first, and I thought that with a few change it could have been cast with adults in the 40's.
As the story continues and the viewer has buy-in, more and more humor is also included, contrasting the seriousness of the topics and the dialogue with how seriously the characters take themselves.
This is one I need to own.
