1.

Sunset Boulevard

Try to say its not Noir, but it is. The storyline is vengeful and murderous and deliciously mad. It is perfect.

2.

The Maltese Falcon

Every single character in this film is perfection. The writing is absolutely brilliant and the casting really could not be better. Everyone loves a good detective movie.

3.

Act of Violence

This is almost a Jeckyll and Hyde premise. It pits the good guy against the bad guy and brings out the nightmarish terror within our own psyche.

They Live by Night

This movie is the Film Noir version of Romeo and Juliet, which is one of the greatest stories ever told.

The Killers

Hemingway. That is the single reason why this movie ranks so high. Hemingway can do no wrong.
