Any good film noires I can watch /tv/? I want to understand the medium a bit more.
Double Indemnity
it's fucking fantastic
Don't mind me, just being one of the best films ever made.

not film noir
Agreed on Double Indemnity, and watch Out of the Past too for an almost parodic approach to the cinematography associated with the genre.

It's absolutely got stylistic elements of film noir. Arthur Edeson was the DP for this and the maltese falcon.
Also, Maltese Falcon.

>It's absolutely got stylistic elements of film noir
To the extent that all black and white films utilize shadows and the like.
They really have nothing in common, noir is pessimistic and cynical, about men losing themselves and caught in events out of their control. Casablanca is about a guy putting aside his worst traits for the greater good, its a romance movie where he gives up the girl

Film noir isn't only aesthetics, and no, it only has some common points with the film noir style, that mostly have to do with black and white cinematography. Shadows will always be starkly contrasted in black and white.
Thematically it's a romantic drama with a historical context set in war, nothing to do with film noir.
The Killers (1946)
double indemnity
the big sleep
the 'classic' noirs
sweet smell of success is amazing though some people don't count it.

I've never really dived into real noir, but here are some fringe noir movies I've enjoyed:
Brick
Soylent Green
Chinatown
Bladerunner
Fallen Angels
In The Mood For Love (kind of noir?)
Le Samourai
