My favorite noirish films for the moment, on first
reflection: THE MALTESE FALCON (Huston-written/directed) THE
KILLERS (earlier--William Conrad's best role before radio's
Matt Dillon) MURDER, MY SWEET PSYCHO (earlier, of course) THE
HAUNTING (earlier, also of course, if horror can join the
fun) THE BODY-SNATCHER (likewise) CAT PEOPLE (earlier,
likewise) D.O.A. (earlier--deeply flawed, but still a
favorite) ODD MAN OUT TOUCH OF EVIL and THE BIG SLEEP (the
Brackett, et al., one)... and, on another day, THE LONG
GOODBYE (the Brackett) and maybe any number of others.

with their picks of the best Noir films ever made? Then I'll
hunt them down.
