Hey /tv/. I've played a good deal of detective videogames recently, but right now I want to get into more film Noir. I recently watched the Maltese Falcon, and thought it was pretty cool. I enjoy that time period and setting. What are some other classics I should see just getting into the genre?
Jessica Jones!!!!!
Check out Chinatown, LA Confidential, and The Long Goodbye to get a taste of the genre.

Sunset Boulevard
A Touch of Evil
The Third Man
The Asphalt Jungle
Pickup on Southstreet
The Killing
The Big Sleep is the best
Key Largo aswell

What are some elements in noir you guys appreciate or don't appreciate? For me, I greatly look forward to the banter between two tough cookies or one jagged man giving someone the shakedown

Though guys bantering eachother is always nice but I like it when the protag is being an smug smart-ass against everyone.

This Gun For Hire
The Glass Key
The Blue Dahlia
Mildred Pierce

Casablanca is just an essential film, regardless of genre considerations.
The Big Combo
The Big Heat
White Heat
A lot of John Alton's stuff is worth watching for his work alone.
