Top Five Film Noirs of August, 2011

[Vicki, 1953]

I love the shadows. The snappy dialogue. The femme fatales. The handsome detective with no past who wanders in over his head.

In August, I decided to concentrate watching movies in the film noir genre. It was great to catch up on several I hadn't seen and to have completed 90% of TSPDT's 250 Quintessential Noir Films List.

I'd love to share the top 5(+) films I saw last month:

• I Wake Up Screaming (1941) and its solid remake: Vicki (1953)
• Where Danger Lives (1950)
• Somewhere in the Night (1946)
• Danger Signal (1945)
• I Walk Alone (1948)
