Barbara Stanwyck as Phyllis Dietrichson in “Double Indemnity”
I actually did a list of my top ten Femme Fatales. Check it out at http://mubi.com/lists/deadly-is-the-female-top-10-femmes-fatales-not-all-from-film-noir
Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady, Juliette Binoche in Certified Copy, Jeong-hie Yun in Poetry, Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids, Gary Oldman in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender in almost everything.
Also, Jean Dejurdain was charming in The Artist, and Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg pulled out all the stops in Melancholia.
Kate Winslet’s TV Mildred Pierce is also worth noting.

Who is the best Femme Fatale? 3 months ago
I dont know if I would consider Moreau a femme fatale in The Bride Wore Black. She’s more of a lady of vengeance. Regardless, she’s magnificent.
