Mario, have you seen Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop? Great
existential movie about nomadic street racers. I'm not sure
it's noir, the characters aren't exactly doomed, except in a
life as an endless loop kind of way, but a great movie.
It was co-scripted by Rudy Wurlitzer. That and Pat Garrett
and Billy the Kid sent me to Wurlitzer's novels. I've read
three out of four and they were good (Quake might have even
been great, an apocalyptic classic about the Big Quake that
would end California life as we know it), but I was
disappointed none was noir. I think he could have written
well in that vein.
