one that hasnt been mentioned yet, saw it on TCM’s Noir Alley recently and I think its on WatchTCM right now:
very early (1940) example of the genre that predates what people typically think of as the noir era
obviously Lorre does a great job, but i was also impressed with relative unknown Margaret Tallichet as the damsel in distress
also put in another plug for one of my favorites:
trailer leads you to think its a musical/romance/melodrama but it turns straight noir about halfway through

Both are two really good movies by two really great directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and David Cronenberg. Obviously neither are Classic Noir but both could be classified as Neo Noir, Existenz for sure.

Yeah, "Without Warning" (1952) has some incredible location work. It used to be an extraordinarily rare and long unseen film until the dvd of it officially came out. I bought that disc right upon release, about 15 years ago. In addition to Adam Williams, the leading lady is the young blonde gal who played the daughter in some of those "Ma and Pa Kettle" movies! I think she passed away not too long ago.

The restored or remastered Pickup on South Street looks damn good

Huge film noir fan. My favorite of all-time is Night and the City. Brilliant performance by Richard Widmark & one of the greatest twist ending ever.
