<p>Neo-Noir is probably my favorite genre. I'm actually trying to write one right now (!). Neo-noir's, or the best ones at least, tend to be among the most creatively stimulating films in the history of filmmaking, with plenty of clever dialogue, mysterious characters, exaggerated and lush lighting, and brilliant musical scores. It's a genre that wouldn't be here today without its predecessor, the genre of film noir, a genre I've only just begun to dip into. From what I've seen, it's my favorite genre of the golden age, my personal favorite of the bunch probably being Carol Reed's 'The Third Man.' Those are films that use lighting and framing to the highest possible extent, with many noir films giving us perhaps even more atmosphere than actual plot (not that that's a bad thing, when done correctly). They were films made not for money, but for art both in front of and behind the camera. It's a shame, they really don't make them like that anymore. </p><p>I'll probably update this list every once in awhile, every time a major change occurs or whatever in the rankings or if I see anything I feel should be added.</p>

<p>Bill Georgaris of TSPDT has finally decided to start updating his film noir page. This means <a href="http://letterboxd.com/pileofcrowns/list/film-noir-they-shot-dark-pictures-didnt-they/" rel="nofollow">the old version of the list</a> is effectively deprecated and will slowly become more so as Bill releases more of the new version of the list. I'll try to keep this Letterboxd version of it as up to date as possible.</p><p>There are already notable differences between the two lists although the criteria used for inclusion has also changed. Whether this new version of the list is an improvement or not is up for debate but it's very welcome nonetheless! I'll just quote the site:</p><p><em>After many long nights pondering whether to update TSPDT’s noir pages or not, I finally gave in to the nagging voices in my head and, eventually, just got on with it. Glad I did, as my passion for noir cinema has subsequently been agreeably rekindled.</em></p><p>To kick things off, I have offered up the first 100 of the 1,000 films. These 100 films have been identified, according to my research, as the most mentioned/cited noir films of all-time. Call them the 100 most essential or quintessential, or whatever you like. They are, simply put, the 100 films that most often show up on film noir lists, in film noir festivals, and/or in film noir publications.</p><p>Following this initial collection of 100 noirs, a further 900 noir films (or films with prominent noir elements) will steadily be added (in a fairly random manner). These 900 films are, in effect, the 101st to 1,000th most cited noir films (according to my research). I hope to complete this listing by no later than the end of 2015, but I’m not making any promises!</p><p>It must be stressed that this listing is not a ‘best of’ or ‘greatest’ list; it is strictly a listing of the most oft-cited noir films. Though most of the films that will ultimately comprise the 1,000 are more than worthwhile (many, of course, are brilliant), there is no hiding from the fact that not all of the 1,000 films are of the highest quality. And that is putting it very nicely. They are here because they are noir, not because they are good (though, most invariably are).</p><p><a href="http://theyshootpictures.com/noir1000.htm" rel="nofollow">theyshootpictures.com/noir1000.htm</a></p><blockquote><p><strong>NOTES</strong><br />#1-100 are the 100 most cited noir films.<br />#101 onwards is the rest (the entire list has not yet been released).</p></blockquote>

<p>This list of personal favorites was <a href="https://mubi.com/lists/edgar-wrights-favorite-movies" rel="nofollow">assembled</a> by Edgar Wright and Sam DiSalle in July 2016, and is semi-regularly updated. Films are ordered by year, and alphabetized within each year (our list matches MUBI’s source list order, but some films are listed under alternative names).</p><p><b>Note from Edgar, August 2026:</b></p><p><i>Ten years ago, I discovered a 700-strong list on MUBI entitled ‘Edgar Wright’s Favorite Movies’, which came as something of a surprise, as I hadn’t written it. Though the American spelling of ‘favourite’ was a clue.</i></p><p><i>The list had been created by Sam DiSalle, so I reached out to ask how he had compiled it. He explained that it included every film I had ever said I liked in interviews, articles and polls. I asked if I could edit it and, over the next few months, after much addition and subtraction, gave him enough further suggestions to bring the grand total up to a round 1,000 films.</i></p><p><i>Every now and then I update it and thought I would do so ten years on. It is a very personal and entirely subjective selection of favourites from more than 100 years of cinema. Some people get extremely riled up about films they perceive to be ‘missing’, so please be warned: any comments along the lines of “What, no…?” will be deleted. It’s only one person’s list, and the great news is you can absolutely make your own. In fact, I encourage you to! <br />I enjoy keeping the list fluid for my own pleasure, amusement and reference. I’m sharing a recently updated version in the hope that you’ll have fun poring over it and diving into some films you haven’t seen, or perhaps haven’t even heard of. I should also apologise to my friends at <a href="https://x.com/1000filmsblog" rel="nofollow">@1000filmsblog</a> for adding and removing titles. I really don’t mean to increase your workload! Anything that has ever appeared on the list remains valid; I simply like to cycle films in and out according to rewatches and new discoveries.</i></p><p><i>And, of course, enormous thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it all together and maintain it over the years. Links to his <a href="https://mubi.com/en/lists/edgar-wrights-favorite-movies" rel="nofollow">MUBI</a> and <a href="https://boxd.it/h19BQ" rel="nofollow">Letterboxd</a> versions of the list are below. Film-watching is a lifetime pursuit, and there are still so many others out there for me to see. I hope these two lists are a great place to for you to start. Please give my regards to your eyeballs!</i></p><p><b>Note from Edgar, August 2016:</b></p><p><i>“This is a personal and subjective list of 1,000 favourite movies from 100 years of cinema. It’s not a set text or intended as any bible of ‘greatest’ films. I decided to put this together as a fluid list for my own enjoyment, amusement and reference. I hope it’s fun for you to pore over and dive into some of the films you haven’t seen or haven’t heard of.</i></p><p><i>Don’t get all riled up about omissions or which movies you think should be favourites of mine, the truth is I may very well like / not like or not have seen the movies you think are missing. In fact, I like way more than 1,000 movies, but any longer and this list would be really insane.</i></p><p><i>Thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it together. If you feel so inspired, make your own list. Film watching is a life-time pursuit and there’s many more films out there for me to see. This site is a great place to start.”</i></p><p>Last updated in August 2026.</p>

The title here should be "The Big Film Noir-ish List" but I leave it as is for easy searching.
Film Noir is not a genre, rather it was a movement. The last true film in that movement was "Touch of Evil" in 1958. This list includes Film Noir, Neo-Noir, Post-Modernist Neo-Noir, and other films that were informed - either in theme or form - by the Film Noir movement.
If your favorite didn't make the list, feel free to comment so I can add them to the list.
