The 20 Greatest Femme Fatales in American Cinema

"In film noir, the femme fatale would often be embodied in the form of a housewife/mistress, possessing the ability to lure men into fatal situations through her cunning sexuality, idiosyncratic tendencies and (often) underestimated intellect, all while challenging traditional gender conventions, and social constructs.
With that being said, the femme fatale has transcended beyond the film noir movement, and has become a prominent fixture in an American film industry that thrives on post-modernism and pastiche."
