Big thumb up!! Problem is so many of the good movies are no longer in any streaming library. I have to either get them from the library, buy them used on eBay, or sometimes buy them new on Amazon. I just bought the Blu Ray of the Russian anti-war film Come and See. The DVD from our local library was a really crappy copy with dark gray blurry subtitles that could not be read.

Only after watching ‘Noir Alley’ on TCM did I appreciate Sterling Hayden.

When out of sheer luck I tuned in & caught “Zero Hour!” that was when it all opened up....and the “Airplane!” connection.

Up to that point I was only familiar with Sterling Hayden in Dr Strangelove & The Godfather.

I enjoy an occasional film noir.

Wow...thanks for sharing that youtube video of the interview with Sterling Hayden.

Never saw it and I wouldn’t have recognized him there.

I had checked his biography & he led quite an impressive & adventuresome life.
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

I always liked L.A. Confidential, but not sure this is the kind of Film Noir example you are looking for.

Of the older ones...The Third Man was one I enjoyed. The Maltese Falcon and Sunset Boulevard too. I made a point of watching “Gaslighting”.

Detour has the most evil screen villainess ever.

Ditto — another vote for Detour here. BTW the personal life of the male lead Tom Neal could be its own noir.

Murder My Sweet with Claire and Dick Powell is great.

I’ll suggest “The Third Man”.
Orson Wells, Tom Cotton in B&W. Several great and timeless quotes. Haunting zither music.
My favorite film noir.
