Re: Film Noir recs

[dethtoll]

First off you need to start with the genre creator: Double Indemnity.

Here are the 'classics' for you, all from the 1940s and 1950s.

Citizen Kane (came out prior to Double Indemnity but is seen as highly influential on the genre, and it's a good film either way)
The Big Sleep
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Key Largo
Touch of Evil

Beyond that, you have more recent works, from the 1960s through to today:

Cape Fear
The Trial
The Long Goodbye
Chinatown
Taxi Driver
Body Heat
Fatal Attraction
Blade Runner (pretty much the reason why there's so much film noir influence in cyberpunk)
Blue Velvet
Deep Cover
Basic Instinct
Devil In A Blue Dress
LA Confidential
Memento
Mulholland Drive
Road to Perdition
No Country for Old Men
Drive

double indemnity did not create the noir genre

Re: Film Noir recs

[(Anonymous)]

Not in the sense of being the first, because film noir was a retroactive genre (i.e., most of the people who made film noir were just making crime stories with a certain trend of directorial and writing styles -- they were labeled "film noir" afterwards.) But it was in the sense that it made this type of movie into a a pop-culturally recognized "thing."
