abstain
Red Rock West

 

[Rand]

The Big Heat
Abstain for the usual "neither are film noir" reason.

 

[Tommy G]

The Big Heat
Abstain

 

[Walter Kittel]

Force of Evil - Primarily because the plight of Joe Morris simply feels closer to my idea of what comprises noir, when compared to the Dirty Harry-esque actions of Dave Bannion.
( And that is not a slam of The Big Heat which is one of the great noirs. )
- Walter.

I'm sorry, but I fail completely to see how Sweet Smell of Success is a film noir.

Anyway, my votes:

The Killers

The Maltese Falcon
