My favorite films noir. I'm of the belief that noir - indefinable and elusive as it is - exists throughout most of film history, and in most countries, so if you're a traditionalist who thinks it has to be American, b/w, and extends only from The Maltese Falcon in 1941 until Touch of Evil in 1958... this list is not for you.
Top 65 titles ranked, thereafter in chronological order.
