I grew up watching old movies on TV so I’ve seen a ton of noir. These are all great - I especially love The Third Man. I’ll watch anything with Orson Welles and/or Joseph Cotten.
One of my favourites growing up was The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. It was on TV every year or so and I always made sure to watch it. Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin and (ew) Kirk Douglas. Such a weird but intriguing film.
Shadow Of A Doubt is another great one - Joseph Cotten again. And I’ve never been a big Bogart fan, but In A Lonely Place was really good.
I kind of miss having those movies just be on TV on weekend afternoons. We have everything at our fingertips now so the youngs these days don’t know the thrill of an old movie you loved a couple of years ago but have no way of watching otherwise turns up on Bill Collins’ Golden Years of Hollywood one Saturday night.
