Film Noir (Crime)<\/strong><\/p>\n

So once again there is some chicanery going on here.\u00a0 Because of my previous list I have to leave out all of Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s movies that should be in this category.\u00a0 \u201cStrangers on a Train,\u201d \u201cDial M for Murder,\u201d \u201cRope\u201d and whole bunch of his stuff is right near the top of this genre.\u00a0 But consistency was never my strength.\u00a0 Laziness is.<\/p>\n

I have emboldened the movies I particularly like.\u00a0 Take that as personal preference.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve reviewed some of these movies separately if you want my detailed opinion on them search the site.\u00a0 So here\u2019s a list of what I think is some pretty good noir.<\/p>\n
