thank-you for a nice list of interesting classic noir films.

You lied!!! I've seen every one of these films except Murder by Contract.

Jack Palence as the suave sophisticated guy.. or..the creepiest face in the history of history.. Take your pick. 😄 I've been a noir fan for years.. It's getting tough to find films I haven't watched..

This is Hollywood, today …terrible

The final shot in "The Breaking Point" has to be one of the most depressing scenes I've seen in any movie.

Thanks. I watched Murder by Contract & it was solid. Great recommendation! Looking forward to seeing more.

Why do you list those 10 westerns as a top ten that haven't been seen ? Are you kidding? You need to pick films from studios like universal or RKO or republic, they made many westerns, those need to be seen.

Have seen 7 out of the 10. Nice list.

Woman in the Window, Scarlet Street

Does Niagara qualify as a film noir? I know it's hard to see anything in the film but Marilyn Monroe, but it's quite a slam at the happily-ever-after post-WWII marriage myth.

Properly, it’s “films noir” not “film noirs”. Check out your french grammar.

Well done.

Apparently a lot have people have seen these movies, so the title is incorrect.

Thanks for the suggestions. The only one I've seen is 'Detour', which was okay, except that half-way through it turns into a Fast Talking High Trousers film. 😆

A whole row of German G/K-43s @1:37.

List is Platinum! I however would reverse the number as I truly hate "Sweet Smell of Success". "Murder by Contract" is a real overlooked film. Vince Edwards is perfect in this role, and at one point he wears a Doctor's smock predicting his TV future. The LA scenery is a real co-star. "Sudden Fear" is another overlooked classic, plus Joan Crawford drives two Packard's. "Detour" is a classic of classics. "Gun Crazy" is a very different film, unusual. John Dall, a gay man always played straight except in Hitchcock's "Rope". "Breaking Point" has a heart wrenching end scene with a little black boy.

your first 2 picks are really terible the rest i agre are good

McCabe and Mrs. Miller is one of my favorite "sleeper" movies. The plot is slow, but the acting is great and the ending is haunting. Saw the 1957 Gunfight at the OK Coral when I was a boy then watched it as an adult a few months ago. The acting was ok, but the historical inaccuracies were distracting.

I guess I’ve only seen the most famous noir films! Cause those are not on your list! Thank you for the awesome suggestions and quick “to the point” synapsis!

I'm not sure Jack Palance could ever be described as "charming", but yeah, good film

Cool list. I will check out the three that are new to me. Thanks

Loretta Young was beautiful in the Stranger, great movie

Garfield was a communist. Hard to feel sorry for him

Gun Crazy was also a short story.

Chinatown is a film noir even though it takes place in the harsh sunlight of Los Angeles.

I've seen every one of these and all are fantastic! The Breaking Point is one of the very few films made from Hemingway's novels that he actually liked. Regarding Night and the City, I was in London about ten years ago and my friends asked me what I wanted to see. They were suprised when I said, the Hammersmith bridge.

Here's one to add to your list. Don't be put off by the title. Nobody wakes up or screams. And Betty Grable seems miscast in a noir but it doesn't show. Possibly one of the best villains I've seen. th-cam.com/video/WqgpVRP5MAs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2hJ1BPNJ_xIEot-X

Good list - another good one is The Harder they Fall with Bogie - boxing movie.

Many thanks. Most welcome recommendations.

Is film noir French for oboe ?

OK, i suggest Big Trouble in Little China. It is more of a fun action/adventure money but it it is filmed in that Film Noir style.

What a terrific list! The person who posted this certainly knows his films Noir and loves them like many of us do. I've seen seven of the 10 titles listed and will seek out the other three. Thanks so much for posting this!

Double Indemnity has always been my favorite film noir. Have it both on DVD and recorded on my DVR. Turner classic movies show film noir movies on Saturday evenings so usually catch them then. Would you consider movies like The Postman Always Rings Twice (James Garfield and Lana Turner) and Cape Fear (the original early 60's version with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum) as film noir also.? They made remakes of both films in the 1990's but they didn't quite match up to the original versions as far as style and cinematic atmosphere goes. Remakes never do.

The Sweet Smell of Success is not just an overlooked noir, it's one of the greatest movies ever. Fascinating, engrossing plot, with top performances by Tony Curtis (maybe career best) and Burt Lancaster. An absolute must see.

One film to think of is Quicksand (with Mickey Rooney). He plays a jerk who spirals down into crime almost by accident.

Saw all 10.My favorite film noir is :Double Indemnity.Detour, Gun Crazy, Decoy, Pickup on South Street, He Walked by Night are great too

Nicky Nick Nick-- they're called FILMS NOIR. The way you have it reads: Blacks Film. oops

I love Sudden Fear. I watch it 4-5 times a year.

Films had 'great titles' then.

No one mentions Hitchcock’s Psycho as film noir which it is if you think about it.

*films noir, not film noirs

Seen them all except Murder by Contract and Gun Crazy and still have no interest in them. The most underrated film noir IMO is His Kind of Women and the best performance by Vincent Price.

Gun Crazy is not a Noir Film, it is a heist film, it has none of the mystery that most Noir films have.

A great list, now do the British ones, think your list will be longer. Thank you.

Good piece. I especially appreciate the high quality of the video in the clips from the films. The back and white looks really accurate, like the films. Well done.

Noirs I have NEVER seen? I have seen all of them except the Vince Edward's film. Nothing spe I'll here.

🎬🤓📽️👋

What about “Night of the Hunter”?

I agree! I have seen all of these films

"night *AND* the city" not night in the city! and at 7:26 "Billy Wildler"! really? wildLer?
