The More American
Noir Films 1940-1964) section lists 500
further American noir or noir-related films from the period 1940
to 1964. These films have been split into three categories-: |
|
| |
Category A
(listed on this page): Contains those films that are often cited as film
noir. These films weren't far away from being included on the
250 Quintessential
listing, and most of them contain many - if not all - of the classic
noir ingredients. |
|
| |
Category B:
Contains those films that are quite often cited as film noir, but not
to the same degree as those listed in
Category A. It must be considered that
in most cases these films contain strong film noir elements. |
|
| |
Category C:
Contains those films that are not often cited as film noir. These films
include certain film noir characteristics, even though - in many cases -
they belong in other clear-cut genres, e.g. Westerns. However, it should
also be acknowledged that many of these films are without doubt
'fully-blown' noirs (of the very neglected variety). |
