Detour (1945)
After his girlfriend Sue has left for the West Coast, Al Roberts decides to join her and starts a journey hitchhiking westwards. When he finds a driver who'd given him a lift dead, he decides to get rid of the body and take the man's identity, fearing he'd be accused of murder if he would go to the police. However, Vera, a hitchhiking girl Al picks up, sees through him and starts blackmailing him into going along with her schemes which get him deeper and deeper into trouble.
Probably one of the purest noir films of all time...
It captures the absolute essence of film noir, and despite being shot with no budget, easily holds up against other films in the genre. Dark, complete with voiceover narration and shown in flashback, with a femme fatale to end them all....Enjoy.

must be "Minority document" through "Steven Speilberg." it really is a e book version (from a e book through Phillip ok Dick; who become the author of yet another e book that become adapted right into a movie noir - "Blade Runner") It stars Tom Cruise and is determined in the destiny, in a international the position murders are seen previously they're committed - so as that murderers are arrested previously they commit the murders. the finished concept is even if you may want to change your destiny in case you knew it - Tom Cruise a cop who for this reason knows all about this gadget is seen to kill a guy he doesnt even understand yet in 36hrs - can he discover his 'minority document' (option destiny) and does/can he actually have one? The murders are forseen through 3 precogs - who're dealt with lyk machines as oppose to people (elevating yet another concept of even if it really is sweet to handle them this type if it skill saving 1000's of harmless people). it really is extremely extremely good. No murders in 6yrs yet is this gadget realy 100% perfect? dun dun dun.......=D
