Apocalypse Now (1979). Although not immediately obvious, this movie is actually a very sneaky case of Genre-Busting, following a typical Film Noir plot structure with Kurtz's crime being the mystery to be solved.

The Stranger (1946). An Orson Welles entry in the genre. A Nazi Hunter tracks an escaped high-ranking Nazi, notorious for his success in remaining relatively anonymous, to a suburban neighbourhood in Connecticut. The fugitive, having settled down and married the daughter of a Supreme Court Justice, is quite keen on keeping his true identity as a war criminal secret, and a dangerous psychological duel between the detective and the escapee begins, with his wife caught in the middle.

Nightmare Alley (1947). Stanton Carlisle works at a Crappy Carnival but has ambitions to improve his life. He seduces an older woman, has-been Fortune Teller Mademoiselle Zeena, to learn the secrets that had once made her a star. Then abandons her to start a lucrative career as a Phony Psychic and Con Man. An alliance with amoral psychologist Lilith Ritter will help him prey on her wealthy patients. But then his greatest scheme backfires. His guild-ridden wife Molly exposes him to their latest victim, effectively ending his career. Lilith cheats him out of his share for their schemes and financially ruins him. A flop at the time of release, currently listed among the classics of the genre.

The Big Lebowski (1998) is a simultaneous homage to and parody of Film Noir specific tropes.
This is known as "Parody of Reaffirmation", like Weird Al parodying music, but at the same time is making music, or Scream parodying horror movies, all the while being a horror movie.

Dead Reckoning (1947). Two paratroopers return from World War II and learn they are about to receive medals for their honorable service. Johnny Drake seems terrified of the notion that his picture will appear in the press and attempts to disappear. His incinerated corpse is later discovered, though his death is deemed accidental. His surviving friend Warren Murdock is not convinced. He wants to know what caused his friend to disappear and why the man was killed. Murdock soon finds himself framed for murder and caught in a web of intrigue, dating to the years before the War. Coral "Dusty" Chandler, the Femme Fatale of the film, is considered among the most notable examples in the genre, and is often discussed in reviews of misogynistic elements in films noir. Several film critics insist there is a Homoerotic Subtext in the relationship between Drake and Murdoch, which gets the film frequently included in reviews of gender identity in film noir.

Kiss of Death (1947). The film begins with family man Nick Bianco in dire financial straights. His status as an ex-convict leaves him unemployable, despite his decision to live an honest life. His inability to provide for his daughters causes him to join a criminal gang, and take part in a jewel heist. When an alarm is set off and the police arrives, Nick is injured and captured. He decides to protect the identities of his associates and take the fall for them. He does so with the understanding that his gang will take care of his wife and underage daughters. A couple of years later, Nick learns that the gang eventually abandoned his family. His broke wife committed suicide, and his daughters have become wards of an orphanage. He decides to co-operate with the authorities to earn a parole, a decision which will endanger his life. Noted for its realistic, almost documentary style, depiction of New York City. The film is currently mostly mentioned for a memorable secondary character: Tommy Udo. Udo is a Psycho for Hire with a distinctive laugh (a "high-pitched falchetto), best used when disposing victims in sadistic ways. A character often compared to The Joker.

Mildred Pierce (1945). The film opens with the murder of Monte Beragon. His widow Mildred then narrates her story. A story which starts with the end of a previous marriage in a divorce, her winning custody over her daughters, and her efforts to financially support them. Unfortunately, elder daughter Veda is a Fille Fatale and the mother-daughter relationship is not a particularly healthy one. The prevailing mood of "pessimism and paranoia", the visual style, and the convoluted narrative have earned the film a place among the better known entries of the genre. Though an entry where the two main female characters dominate the narrative and family relationships take center stage.

Memento (2000): A man searches for his wife's killer in the aftermath of a violent home invasion that left him unable to form new memories. Has many of the stylistic elements that define classic Noir: an alienated, uncertain protagonist attempting to solve a nigh-impossible mystery, characters whose trustworthiness is constantly in flux, a sharply twisting plot that changes the audience's understanding of the story practically every scene, and a highly unreal, dreamlike tone, with half of the movie even arranged in backwards chronology to match the protagonist's inability to remember how or why he is in any given situation.

In the Mouth of Madness (1995) A John Carpenter directed film, which combines Noir with a dash of Stephen King and copious amounts of H.P. Lovecraft. What starts out as a very Noir-ish plot about a skilled insurance agent trying to find a missing horror author, slowly but surely turns into a full-on Cosmic Horror Story.

Beyond the Forest (1949). A woman bored with life in a small town squeezes her husband to pay their bills so she can visit Chicago, but that soon proves to be the beginning of a violent conflict. Famous for star Bette Davis line "What a dump!" being remembered as being pronounced far more enthusiastically than it actually was said in the film.

Odds Against Tomorrow (1959). Often cited as the one of the very last, if not the last film of the "classic noir" era, and known for being the first noir with a black protagonist. A heist film with a heavy dose of social commentary about racism. Stars Harry Belafonte in a non-musical role.

Nocturnal Animals (2016) A film with a Story Within a Story, both involving different spins on noir. Amy Adams plays an art gallery owner with a Dark and Troubled Past concerning a past marriage, who receives a manuscript for a novel by her ex-husband—a violent crime novel with eerie familiarities in the characters, which may or may not be a psychological attempt at revenge. As the novel's events unfold before our eyes, so does the past of Adams's character—and moral ambiguities abound, over exactly who is responsible for what.

Laura (1944). Advertising executive Laura Hunt is seemingly murdered within her own apartment. A police detective investigating the case becomes intrigued with her life and personality. An interest which becomes obsessive. Somewhat atypical for the genre in shifting focus from the criminal underworld to the privileged classes of New York City and their own shady side. A stylish depiction of glamour, obsession, and suggestive sexuality.

Force of Evil (1948). The drama tells of a lawyer, Joe Morse, working on the side for a powerful gangster, Ben Tucker, who wishes to consolidate and control the numbers racket in New York. This means assuming control of the many smaller numbers rackets, one of which is run by Morse's older brother Leo Morse. In trying to both to look out for his brother and getting his own sizeable piece of the action, Morse soon finds himself getting in way too deep. Noted for its religious motifs, especially its many references to the story of Cain and Abel.

Key Largo (1948). Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall square off against Edward G. Robinson, who plays a mob boss who's long past his prime (in a send-up of the role that made him famous).

Zootopia (2016) A Lighter and Softer version with a happy ending, but this is still a detective story in which a simple criminal investigation brings to light political corruption, cover-ups, and conspiracy at the highest levels in a city wracked with racial tension while exploring the hateful and savage impulses that underlie the veneer of civilized life.

Niagara (1953). When two couples are visiting Niagara Falls, tensions between one wife and her husband reach the level of murder. Arguably the film that put Marilyn Monroe on the map, alongside Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire.

Detour (1945). A so-called "Poverty Row" production (a term used for low-budget films by lesser-tier studios) which is now hailed as a major critical hit in the genre and the masterpiece of director Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts, a New York pianist, impulsively decides to hitch-hike his way to California, where he hopes to reunite with a former lover. He is eventually picked-up by professional gambler Charles Haskell, Jr. who is also heading to California in hopes of "a big payoff". Haskell actually wanted a second driver in the car, to allow himself some much-needed sleep. He keeps popping pills during their journey through the Arizona desert, and does not survive it. He dies in his sleep, the cause of death never specified. Roberts decides to claim the identity and property of the dead man for himself. He knows nothing, however, about the loose ends in the real Haskell's life and complications soon arise. The film is often described as a deconstruction of the phrase "Go West, young man", and the idea of heading West in search of a better life. There are four important characters in the film who head West in pursuit of their dreams. All end up either dead or with their dreams thoroughly crushed.

Angels with Dirty Faces (1938). Crime film which famously uses the Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook plot. A child criminal is caught for a petty crime and is sent to reform school. He stays in the system for life, going in and out of prison through his adulthood and eventually executed. A fellow child criminal who was never caught became a priest.

Double Indemnity (1944). A successful but bored insurance salesman falls for a woman in an unhappy marriage, and the two conspire to commit The Perfect Crime by getting her husband to buy an accident insurance policy, and then making sure he meets an untimely end. A film notorious for pushing the envelope on The Hays Code restrictions to its limits. Despite an activist campaign "imploring the public to stay away on moral grounds", the film was a major critical and box office hit. It paved the way for further dark, controversial films and directly inspired imitators. Often seen as the Trope Codifier for films noir.

Following (1998) The directorial debut of Christopher Nolan is the British (somewhat subverted) version of the Film Noir standard. Since then, with the notable exception of Interstellar, his films will as a rule have at least a noir-ish "vibe" to them.

Hell Drivers (1957). The British film industry is constantly debated over whether it made noirs or not (there was a genre popular in the 1950s named "crime thrillers" which was very similar), however, this movie ticks most of the trope boxes.

The Vampire Countess, by Paul Féval, is ambiguous about its supernatural elements: the title character may just be a Manipulative Bitch con woman and a Femme Fatale. Also has a Noir-style Anti-Hero who knocks up a teenage girl who falls in love with him, but he is then seduced by the Femme Fatale. And it in general depicts the seedy underworld of 1804 Paris.
John Devil by the same author, while not as Noir like in general, does anticipate the classic Femme Fatale in the Detective's office scene.

The Woman in the Window (1944). A married, middle-aged man falls for a Femme Fatale, and is involved in a fight with her current boyfriend. He kills the man in self-defense and soon discovers that he can not get away with it. On the surface a conservative parable on acting on repressed desires and paying a price for it. It has been argued however that director Fritz Lang aimed to depict the thin line between respectability and immorality, and how an ordinary person can be caught in a web of murder and intrigue. Another key theme to the film noir genre.

High Sierra (1941). Considered as a transition film between the 1930s gangster films and the 1940s films noir. First leading role and Star-Making Role for Humphrey Bogart, who had already made a career of playing gangsters in crime films.

Gilda (1946). A film set in the decadent atmosphere of post-war Buenos Aires. At its heart is a love-hate relationship between the male lead (and narrator) Johnny Farrell and female lead Gilda. A relationship with what critics call "dark and disturbing sadomasochistic sexual currents" which takes over the plot.

The Nice Guys (2016) A very troperiffic drama wherein a veteran thug and newbie PI try to find a missing girl, finding ties to a seemingly irrelevant pornstar's death in the process. It's another Shane Black detective movie, so it's naturally a love letter to noir through Black Comedy and Lampshade Hanging.

Murder, My Sweet (1944). The first film adaptation of a Philip Marlowe novel and one of the highly-regarded depictions of the Hardboiled Detective in cinema. The so-called "standard private eye formula" (of seeking a missing person and ending up personally involved in a bizarre case) tends to follow the lead of this film.

The Lady from Shanghai (1947). Another Orson Welles entry in the genre. While in Central Park, seaman Michael O'Hara chances on a beautiful woman being assaulted. He rescues Elsa Bannister and is then offered a job on the yacht of her husband. Then a partner of said husband offers Michael a substantial sum of money, in exchange for helping him to fake his death. By taking this deal, Michael is caught in a trap. Just about every character seems to have his own agenda, in a film noted for its complex narrative, multiple agendas, and groundbreaking cinematography.

The Blue Dahlia (1946). A Navy officer returns from war service to discover that his son is dead (due to a traffic accident) and his wife unfaithful. When said wife is found murdered, the widower becomes one of several suspects in this murder case. The film is noted for its jaded view of what awaits the returning veterans of World War II, broken homes and nothing to return to. The protagonist himself has violent tendencies which are not particularly helping him adjust to civilian life even before the mystery begins.

Out of the Past (1947). In a small town in California, retired Private Detective Jeff Bailey romances local girl Ann Miller. When a figure from his past arrives and invites him to a meeting, Jeff accepts and takes Ann with him. He narrates to her a convoluted tale from his Dark and Troubled Past, including his former infatuation with Femme Fatale Kathie Moffat, and involvement with various shady characters. In the present, Kathie and several of these characters are also in California. The plots and schemes from his tale are still ongoing, and he still has a role to play in them. A film notorious for its complex script and ambiguity concerning the motivations and thought processes of every character, Jeff included.

Casablanca (1943). Wartime drama which has been listed as another major influence on the genre. The lighting and visuals were similar but darker to those of The Maltese Falcon. The setting in a shady and exotic bar of Morocco, the cynical and world-weary protagonist, the adulterous undertones of the main Love Triangle, a narrative populated by gangsters, black marketeers, con-artists, corrupt cops, and fleeing refugees willing to make deals to save their skins all add to the general mood of melancholy and pessimism. Casablanca as depicted here is a City Noir. Or in the words of Sheri Chinen Biesen, "a cramped, crowded, where an underworld climate and abundant dubious nocturnal activity proliferate".

American Hustle (2013) has quite a lot of Noir-ish content, with two Villain Protagonists who are forced to put their skills to work for an FBI agent (who isn't particularly straight-and-narrow himself) while struggling with their own consciences. Notable for the film's heroine (played by Amy Adams) being a Femme Fatale...but a highly sympathetic one.

Dark Passage (1947). A bleak adaptation of a David Goodis novel. A man wrongly convicted of murdering his own wife escapes prison. He hopes to Clear His Name but the goal remains out of reach for most of the film. The film was one of the earliest to extensively use subjective camera angles to hide the face of the protagonist. This obscuring technique is used for about 1/3 of its duration. It was also notable for defying Hays Code standards in its finale. The actual murderer commits suicide. The protagonist never clears his name and remains the main suspect of an additional murder. Instead of a stereotypical "justice prevails" ending, the man will remain a fugitive for life. The film originally received mixed reviews, but has since gained a pretty good reputation.

They Drive by Night (1940). Often cited as a noir, mostly for Ida Lupino's great Femme Fatale, Lana Carlsen.

The Black Dahlia (2006). Brian De Palma-directed try at "the ultimate film noir". Known for its super-stylization and very complicated plot.

The Killing (1956). Stanley Kubrick heist film famous for its non-linear plot and for sort-of providing inspiration for Reservoir Dogs.

This Gun for Hire (1942). Based on a Graham Greene novel, though with some material reworked for wartime-propaganda reasons. Professional Killer Philip Raven completes an assignment and is then double-crossed by his latest employer. He sets out to get revenge. Meanwhile, Nightclub Singer Ellen Graham is recruited by the federal authorities to spy on her current boss, who is suspected to be a fifth columnist. Raven and Graham are unknowingly Working the Same Case and their paths cross. A major hit for the film noir genre, and the film which turned Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake into "reliable box office draws".

John Devil by the same author, while not as Noir like in general, does anticipate the classic Femme Fatale in the Detective's office scene.

Gaslight (1944). In Victorian London, a Con Man (and a male version of the Femme Fatale) marries a young woman solely to get hold of her late aunt's fortune. He almost succeeds by dimming the gas lamps in the house and convincing his wife (when she notices) that she is going mad - �in fact, this is the Trope Namer for the Gaslighting method of psychological torment.
