Christ in a sidecar, some great film mentions here!

I'm not sure it qualifies, but A face in the crowd, with Andy Griffith, is a really good film.
Andy playing a bad guy is reason enough, and the message still resonates

Asphalt Jungle.
It's a great film.

No one can truly study cinema without studying Film Noir, an incredibly ifluencial genre.

"Night of the Hunter" While not strictly film noir, its a dark tale of a pychotic preacher, played by Robert Mitchum, chasing two children across a depressin era, rural landscape. Best performance by Robert Mitchum ever. Scared the sh#t out of me as a child.

I'm not too familiar with noir films. Sorry. I've never heard of the people you've listed.

I think color erodes at the mood. For instance, Sunset Boulevard would have been a totally different movie. And the Cape Fear with Mitchem as the baddie was superior to the remake. Not just 'cause of the B&W but the "more with less" aura.

The Usual Suspects, naturally. Body Heat was an absolute corker. Also Driver, which was noir in its own way.
