Top 10 Film Noirs

A good detective never sleeps. In this video, counts down our picks for the top 10 film noirs. For this list, since experts fail to agree on a standard definition for the genre, we’re limiting our choices to gritty, cynical thrillers and crime dramas from the early-’40s to late-’50s that are shot in black-and-white.
