A very well-done neo-noir that deals with issues the original film noirs mostly ignored. Denzel Washington plays the detective in over his head.

ODD MAN OUT (1947)
I really enjoyed this dream-like film noir about a doomed man’s wanderings through Belfast.
DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944)
Perhaps the ultimate Film Noir, about two murderers who are not nearly as smart as they think they are.
CHINATOWN (1974)
The definitive neo-noir, a movie I love, now inextricably linked with the crimes of its director.
SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950)
The decaying remains of 1920s Hollywood entrap a hack writer and lure him to his doom.
BLADE RUNNER (1982)
This extremely atmospheric neo-noir about androids and flying cars helped revolutionize science fiction with its combination of cynicism and neon.
THE MALTESE FALCON (1941)
A movie that launched legendary careers and an entire classic genre of film, and is also pretty fun in its own right.
