Port of Shadows (Le quai des brumes) (1938)

[moviemaker]

Port of Shadows (Le quai des brumes) by Marcel Carne (along with Jean Vigo's L'Atalante) is one of the greatest films ever made, and it is the film that supposedly influenced the term film noir by being a thematic precursor to the style of filmmaking.

I have the Kino Blu-ray and Criterion DVD, which features my favorite artwork for this film. I would buy a poster of the Criterion cover in a heartbeat:
