I know the genre has some subjectivity to it, but it's basically an atmospheric, dark mystery, most often of the murder variety. They're brooding and methodical, and ever-so engaging. What are some of your favourites of this sub-genre?
Here's a list of mine (using IMDb as a parameter):
Night of the Hunter
Touch of Evil
All the King's Men
The Letter
Dial M for Murder
Third Man
Yours? You can list as many as you want, including just one, or even none. It's up to you.
Edit: Here's a definition from a dictionary:
a type of crime film featuring cynical malevolent characters in a sleazy setting and an ominous atmosphere that is conveyed by shadowy photography and foreboding background music
