A lot of the films on the list aren't "noir" at all.....

arguably "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN", "FURY", "SUNSET BOULEVARD", "BODY AND SOUL", and "MILDRED PIERCE." They do share some characteristics of noir but I think to have them falling into the genre is stretching things a bit.

And where are two of the greatest American film noir classics, the original "D.O.A" and "FAREWELL MY LOVELY"? And could not the splendid 1949 film "WHITE HEAT" be considered a film noir classic, at least based on the criterea used for the list? If so, it would surely rank in the top 5.
