and his crime syndicate to turn your campaign around. To get the conviction you’ll need to watch 10 films noir from the 1940s and 10 from the 1950s. Because you’re a savvy DA, you’ve successfully argued for the judge to grant an exception: you may replace any film one-for-one with a neo-noir title; build a case with these 20 films and you’ll get your conviction.

The Films
Every time you watch a film, post your rating and thoughts on the film and be sure to use spoiler tags when appropriate. Hopefully everyone can discover a new dark alley to wander down or an irresistible femme fatale that just blew into town.
