IMDB's Top Film Noir

IMDB has a list of the top film noir according to their participants. The Top 10:

1. Sunset Blvd. (1950)
2. M (1931)
3. The Third Man (1949)
4. Double Indemnity (1944)
5. The Maltese Falcon (1941)
6. Touch of Evil (1958)
7. Strangers on a Train (1951)
8. Du rififi chez les hommes (1955)
9. The Big Sleep (1946)
10. Notorious (1946)


I'm ashamed to admit how few on this list I've seen, but I think I'll make an effort to work my way through this list and maybe even their Top 50.

Many of these are readily available. Sunset Boulevard, for example, is a movie I have never seen. The film stars William Holden and Gloria Swanson. Amazon.com carries it for under $8. It's not available online and I don't currently own it, so I won't start with it. I'll watch for it at Spin Street.
