Films Noir Ranked by IMDb User Ratings
All the titles with IMDb genre Film-Noir, ranked according to their average User Rating as of this list's creation.
The official IMDb definition of their genre Film-Noir can be viewed here, and it states "Typically features dark, brooding characters, corruption, detectives, and the seedy side of the big city. Almost always shot in black and white, American, and set in contemporary times (relative to shooting date). We take the view that this genre began with Underworld (1927) and ended with Touch of Evil (1958). Note: neo-noir should be submitted as a keyword instead of this genre for titles that do not fit all criteria. Objective."
While assembling this list (is there a way to import an Advanced Search into a list? I remember there used to be.) I spotted a handful of exceptions to the "American" criteria, but I suppose it says "almost always." And if you sort this list by Release Date, you'll see two of the foreign films, and several American titles released after Touch of Evil, but not beyond 1958.
