Be warned--it is a LONG list. Mike's specialty... :-)
The neo-noir list combines two main sources: Spicer's list and Wiki lists. A film that attains the wiki list must have a critical reference as a neo-noir somewhere. The only other additions are a few neo-noirs mentioned by some others, like Gary Deane. The list is only U.S. films. It starts around 1965.
A rating of 7.5 or higher produces a list of 119 films.
