Film Noir Favorites!

By: Richard Vialet

I love great Film Noir pictures and these are some of my favorites! I still have lots to watch, so throw suggestions my way!

Even though I love NIGHT OF THE HUNTER and SUNSET BOULEVARD, I don’t really think of those as film noirs like others do. But if you consider them noirs then they should be in this list too!
