The German film "M", starring Peter Lorre as a child murderer, is often pointed to as the stylistic inspiration for film noir. Some classic old black&white noir films are Casablanca, Double Indemnity, A Touch of Evil, The Maltese Falcon, Laura, The Big Sleep (the original Bogart version), and The Third Man. More modern films with a noir sensibility include Chinatown, L.A. Confidential, and Fargo.

Out of the Past, with Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer (and Kirk Douglas as a baddie).
Double Indemnity, with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray before My 3 Sons ate his soul.

"In a Lonely Place" starring Bogart & Gloria Grahame Great mood piece!
"Strangers on a Train" a Hitchcock masterpiece starring Robert Walker & Farley Granger.
"Psycho" another Hitchcock classic.
Recently, "Lady in the Water" starring Paul Giamatti & directed by that great noir film director, M Night Shyamalan. A scary fairy tale!!!!! Brr-rrr!!!!!
