Chinatown I watched the first time before I started watching noir. Then I watched it again recently and thought it the most convincing neo noir I've seen. It's brilliant.
Never got round to fully watching The Hot Spot. Got half way through once but I wasn't in the mood, so will have to give it another go.
Red Rock West is one of my favourites, but I've just realised John Dahl has a Neo Noir Trilogy also including Kill Me Again and The Last Seduction. Anyone seen...
Updikes a good one and some of these are comical, I like old faces from a time when you couldn't decide whether to shave your eyebrows or not. Not quite as severr as some posted though.
There's some like City of Fear for example. I think it's brilliant in the context I watch it for the first time, in bed often just soaking in the atmosphere before I go to sleep. Then I watch it with my sister and find it slightly less impressive other than what must have caught my attention...

It's pretty much all I watch these days. I think my current favourite is Somewhere in the Night. By the time Richard Conte turns up you know you've watched a great one.

There's a Nookie tune from 92 that sounds a bit like The Slammer too.
