The 10 Most Underrated Neo-Noir Films of the 1980s

"Neo-noir elements stayed relevant throughout the 1980s. It was everywhere from Brian De Palma's mystery thrillers to Mamet's "House of Games." Even the decade took its start with Paul Schrader's "American Gigolo," John Cassavettes' "Gloria" and Louis Malle's "Atlantic City," and they all had very rich noir traditions.

As typical with the other two lists, this one also will try to balance the much less known films that don't even get talked about (only theatrical releases, so "Gotham" didn't appear, but check that out) with those that are a little more known but still deserve more recognition by the general public because they have everything to appeal beyond the fans of neo-noir."
