Cinema Noir

Dear flist,

What are your favourite Noir films? Classics that everyone in their right minds should see? Hidden gems that I should know about?

I'm on a Noir kick & want to expand my repertoire.

Easy answer for me : Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) Starring Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan. "A one handed stranger comes to a tiny town possessing a terrible past they want to keep secret, by violent means if necessary." According to IMDb

It crosses a couple of genres but is an undeniably great Noir film. My all time favourite and not to be missed.

Ooh, that sounds super, AND now I know where SPN got the reference! Whee! Thank you!
