David Lynch is a modern master of the form. And certainly there are others, like the Coen brothers. I'm something of an elitist snob so if it's not in black and white to me it's only noir-ish. Light and shadows, not technicolor, is a dominant theme.

***** I do have a problem with non-40's film noir, how can a 50's/60's film be a film noir just because it's shot in b&w ? i need to be convinced about that, am i the only one who thinks they 'must' be not only b&w, but made & set in a big US city in the 40's? -check out The Dark Corner, The Fountainhead , Lady in the Lake & The Locket. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise... please. Thanks in advance. ps: I ment to say i do love all the films you mentioned above.

+Alexander Campbell Well maybe it doesn't have to be in b&w, Leave Her to Heaven for example. But it doesn't have to be set in a big US city neither. Some call it nonurban noir, like Out of the past, Touch of Evil , they are part of the classic film noir too. And as for decade matter, I do agree 40s noir films are more pure, but 50s somehow presents pretty good ones like The Big Combo, Gun Crazy, Sweet Smell of Success, The Killing, etc. I think it's the visual style of using light&shadows and the cynical story background that define film noir.

Although "Double Indemnity" certainly belongs on the list, I like two other movies based on James M Kane novels even more. "The Postman Always Rings Twice" was unique because the violence seems an inevitable outcome of the incredibly steamy and adulterous romance between a pennyless drifter (John Garfield) and the glamorous but low-born wife (Lana Turner) of a roadside cafe owner. "Postman" was really hot! "Mildred Pierce" was unusual because the title character was a woman (Joan Crawford) with no illusions . The character of Mildred was ground-breaking because she was a divorcee who was tough and self-sufficient. The competition between Mildred and her self-absorbed and cruel daughter Veda (Ann Blyth) for the affections of a worthless, high-society playboy named Monte (Zachary Scott) was both disturbing and fascinating. I rank "Mildred Pierce" as my #1.

My only quibble with this list is that it just has to be the "Top 11!" "Out of the Past" is so well done that it absolutely must be on any "Top Noir" list. Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas are just perfect in this film, and Jane Greer really set the standard for the "femme fatale" character. And film noir really can't be boiled down to a "Top 10" list anyway. I'd say to be realistic you'd have to make it a "Top 15" at least! Film Noir films are the only ones I can watch, or listen to while doing something else, over and over again. . .I just love 'em!

Although noir is french for black and works best in black and white, it is primarily a feel of gritty realism based on pulp fiction and hardboiled novels. Many good noir films have been made in color. Perry Mason was noir as was the Naked City.

Out of the Past is a helluva movie. It has some of the snappiest dialogue ever delivered, period. Cathy "I wish he was dead" Jeff "Give him time." Kirk Douglas, who usually hams it up a bit, is wonderful as Whit, the slimy antagonist who is behind one of the best double crosses and setups in cinematic history. His character, Whit, states "Think of a number, Joe" to show how dumb Joe is. Kirk was great here. Watch how he intimidates Jane Greer towards the end when he tells her how he'll "break her" before he kills her if she doesn't do as she's told. He holds his own with Big Bob Mitchum. He didn't overact as he sometimes does, he was perfect. Mitchum is the Man though with his patented 'I don't give a damn' attitude. Great movie.

I love film noir, Double Indemnity should have come in first or second, for the dialogue, the chemistry of Walter with Phyllis, and Keyes, and the bleak, sardonic tone. A little known favorite of mine "Repeat Performance" would have been a nice honorable mention. Beautifully shot, eerily scored, the themes of being trapped by fate and a hellish relationship ending in violence are as noir as good coffee.

Dark Passage and Scarlet Street belong on the list too (maybe of top 14). To me Double Indemnity should be right up there with The Maltese Falcon. Film Noir is a fantastic genre that featured all the glamorous elements of Hollywood's Golden Age with angelic-looking leading ladies and impossibly cool cat daddies and at the same time the storylines that interrupted the fantasy that would completely carry you away into the idyllic, letting you see in greatly detailed grime that all those beautiful, sophisticated people were lesbians and murderers and funds' extortioners--something we wouldn't think just to look at them and bask in the simplicity of their $75-a-week income that was plenty with which to house, transport and eat out.
