10 Film Noirs To Check Out

With our upcoming Film Noir episode, we decided to put together a list of films from the genre we recommend. We tried to mix in some lesser known and more recent examples. So, if you don't see Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep (which you won't) it's not because we don't like them. We love them. It's only that adding them wouldn't be very original. They've been listed by release date, not by preference. Cheers!
