I cheated a bit by perusing both lists and filling in some titles that didn't appear on the lists from Owen and Bob, due to space limitations and Bob's laudable goal of including some worthy titles in place of some well-established classics.
I restored some (not all) of those titles by including them in my list, which (like Bob's) appear separately below:
US NOIRS
Angel Face-
Born to Kill-
Brainstorm-
x Brute Force-
Criss-Cross-
Double Indemnity-
x Force of Evil-
Hollow Triumph-
x In a Lonely Place-
x Kiss Me Deadly-
Kiss of Death-
x Laura-
Odds Against Tomorrow-
x Out of the Past-
Pitfall-
Plunder Road-
Possessed-
Private Property-
Ride the Pink Horse-
Shadow of a Doubt-
Sunset Blvd-
Sweet Smell of Success-
x The Big Combo-
The Big Heat-
The Breaking Point-
The Crimson Kimono-
x The Killing-
The Maltese Falcon-
The Phenix City Story-
The Reckless Moment-
This Gun For Hire-
Vertigo-
FOREIGN NOIRS
Assault on the Pay Train (Brazil)-
Cash Calls Hell (Japan)-
x Chair de Poule (France)-
El Vampiro Negro (Argentina)-
Epilog (Germany)-
High and Low (Japan)-
Jakten aka The Chasers (Norway)-
Krakatit (Czechoslovakia)-
x Le jour se leve (France)-
Les amants de Verone (France)-
x Les jeux sont faits (France)-
x Les louves (France)-
x Non Coupable (France)-
Pale Flower (Japan)-
Piege pour Cendrillon (France)-
Voyage sans espoir (France)-
The "x's" indicate my overlap with one or both of the lists submitted by Owen & Bob.
When all three lists are combined, we will have a 140+-film festival that will showcase a striking range of film noir from all over the world. I'll present that in a separate thread...
