Can any of you suggest to me some lesser-known film noires to me

[darkstar]

and the rest of us loungers who are so inclined? Generally, maybe not those found on top 10 types of lists?

Bonus points if they are available on Prime or Tubi.

1. Laura is good.

Bad Day at Black Rock is an odd one-- kind of noir, but also a western.

Another interesting kind of mashup is Lured, which is Lucille Ball in postwar London tracking a serial murderer.

In a Dark Place is kind of a classic noir-- set in LA, starring Bogart. There are a lot of intriguing "inside Hollywood" references.

2. Bad Day is so weird-- you really have to see it.

Spencer Tracy is the "sleuth". He's a stealth tough guy.

5. It really is unique

7. Yes, postwar Western, and Tracy is an odd tough guy.

The character has a calm temperament and a war injury (a disabled arm) that would seem to render him pretty harmless-- and yet he does manage to beat up some bad guys.

3. I love all those movies

Just watched double indemnity the other night

4. Out of the past

Strange loves of martha ivers

Gun crazy

6. First thing I flashed on...

… is Dead Again, with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson.

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched it, but I remember it was very complex (lots of old mysteries to solve as Branagh is trying to solve an old murder and Thompson can’t remember what traumatized her) but it was complex and well done.

8. I don't know what your Top 10 is, but Dark Passage and Key Largo can't be beat.

9. Season 1 of the series The Expanse is space noir.

10. Murder My Sweet.

Available for rent on Prime.

11. Dick Powell's fabulous, surprise portrayal of Phillip Marlowe.

Nobody ever saw that one coming---Dick Powell, out-Bogey-ing Bogart with the best Marlowe job, ever.

12. A couple of Sterling Hayden movies.

"The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) is flawless, my favorite Noir flick. And "The Killing," (1956) an early Stanley Kubrick effort.

14. Wow. What a resource!

I’m actually interested in the lecture series found right there on home page as well. Just read an academic intro to a Foucault book two days ago, so I’m going to check out his series for sure.

Thanks so much!

15. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread;

I’ve got several bookmarked for exploration after I watched the trailers for them.

Much appreciated!

16. In a Lonely Place

1949, Humphrey Bogart & Gloria Grahame. It isn't as well known as his other movies, but for my money it is Bogart's best performance. I saw it on Tubi; Tubi tends to rotate movies, so if it isn't there now it probably will be in a few months.

17. Watched the first two hours

of Lonely Place last night and am really enjoying it so far.

I tip my hat, Morbius, for the rec!
