A list of film noir movies is being highlighted, with some outlets focusing on classic noir films and others on more modern neo-noirs. The lists appear to vary, with some including thrillers and gangster movies, while others focus specifically on underappreciated american noirs or essential 21st century films. It is unclear if these lists are related to a specific ranking or compilation, as some outlets also mention unrelated topics such as miniseries and movies from 2025.
