"Among the most enduring and long-influential genres of film, noir is one of the most important film sub-categories in the history of the medium. While the genre's heyday has long passed, its influence over the development of the artistic medium and repeated resurgence over the course of time has made it one of those styles that any self-respecting film fan should be familiar with. The staples of the genre are familiar — the femme fatale, low-key lighting, heavy shadows, brooding lead actor, etc. — but the films might not be.

So, without further ado, this is a list of the quintessential films of the film noir genre that will help you get into the style." - movieweb.com
